Put us in Guinness
 
I helped install Rappadan's Greddy kit last night along with That7Guy. Total install took 2hrs. We starts at 9 and finished at 11. That included installing a Tony's DP and tapping the pan, which is a tad extra work.

Where's our merit badges?!

I was thinking the title should read "Put Guinness in us."

Just a mention to the guy in the red car.. we are doing a happy hour in DC thursday. :)

It was a hell of an install. I guess Murphy was busy that day... I wonder if the oil feed ever went on without leaking? And Newbs i sence a little color prejudice going on. Are the blues not cool enough now?

Scott how did my car sound? Hear the bOV at all?

LunaticDriver 10-18-2006 02:53 PM

damn i wish there were some people in the Oregon area that would help me on installs and fixing car problems... stupid east coasters =P

Where are the FI people in Atlanta? It's damn hard to watch boost, fuel pressure, and o2 gauges without hitting shit.

Dunno, it didn't come with the fitting, so maybe there was a problrem there from the start?

Throaty! A tad bit, but you were so far past me when you shifted it was hard for me to hear. (I was my Altima, it's slow :td: )

When I installed my GReddy kit back in the day it took me about 10 hours. I was also 18 years old and didnt have a clue what I was doing...lol. But my kit came with a **** Starion Kit, AFPR, and Piergurgh so I had a little bit of extra work. Now I can uninstall and install my turbo/mani/dp in less than an hour;)

well thats a bummer. I say we rip it out and put it back in with some pix. That will take only about....say.....23.6543 minutes

Joey94R 10-20-2006 02:16 PM

That is a really fast install. Instead of dyno results everyone should post their install time.
