Go away rain, this is SoCal!! [56k death]

What size turbo? Looks like a small garrett. .42/.48?

It's hardly small, it's a good size t3/t4

What are you using for fuel?

TCD chip, Vortech 12:1 FMU, Accel 24lb injectors, and a added secondary fuel pump

If thats the stock coil it won't last long upside down. You need a MSD Blaster High Vibration. Went thru 2 stock coils on my 911 mounted sideways before I went to MSD. Lasted 2 years after that, then I sold the car.

Well I have had zero issues so far with the coil although I do have a blaster I will switch to sometime soon anyway

Lots of tee's in your vaccum lines. Are you getting a try boost signal?

I'm not sure what you're asking here but yes there's a lot of T's and it looks ugly. My new intake manifold has 2 sports for vacuum lines as oposed to the usual one so once I swap it out it will look a lot cleaner. Also goign to switch to brass T's and ditch the ugly blue line.

Where is your BOV at?

Did you mount your WG low? Wheres it at?

Take it easy. Its not like I said you have a small dick, lol.

Ahh, ghetto like me. Figured you for the Squirt. People rag the shit out of the FMU but I've seen tons of Mega squirt setups that run like shit.

You've only have a few hundred miles on it. Wait and see.

The more tee you have the weaker the source (vacumm pressure) is sent through each line. So if you BOV or wastegate is at a tee its actually reading a lower boost level than your turbo is producing. This can be trouble in turbo systems that are pushing the limits, i.e. FMU and 10psi.

[MR 325]

Yes I am very happy running the car with the setup it has. I may switch to Megasquirt one day but for now it's doing great. The car is coming apart today or tomorrow to go over some things and during that I will be adding some sources for vacuum, most likely to the throttle body since I have removed the valve cover vent tube and the ICV

I like your setup matt, it looks like it works. Form should ALWAYS follow function, and you are headed in the right direction. Bcaps are a nice touch.

Jordan, you have a very strong oppinion about everything, and you are entitled to it. But you need to realise that not everyone is going to agree with it, no matter how "superior" it may be. I for one think you should care a bit more about your self image, or your physical shape, because it matters a lot more than what you drive, or have. You have a nice car i agree, but does it not bother you how everone sees you? Now i know you may come up with something witty as usual like "I don't care what anyone thinks because i am superior blah..." but in reality it all boils down to the fact that you are a very insecure person who masks their problem, and temporarily boosts their self esteem by putting others down. Find help for yourself before it is too late.

Made some progress on the engine bay, thought I would share

Next step is redoing the vacuum lines. Going to get rid of the ricer blue line and get brass tee's



Probably going to pick up an M3 wiring cover aswell

My car has the same wrinkle in the metal below the strut tower, as you can see just to the left of the turbo adapter in this pic. What's up with that?



Engine bay is looking nice Matt. I actually like the blue bits.

Thanks TJ.

The only blue thing I am actually removing is the blue vacuum line that runs to the bov. All the couplers stay obviously.

So the M3 wiring harness cover WILL work with M20s w/ Sparco/IE strut bars?

Well, with cutting it will

88325is has one on his car

[MR 325]

Why did you remove your foglights?

The driver side wouldn't fit with the way I have the piping setup. I could change it around but it works great the way I have it now and uses minimal piping

[Digitalwave]

Fog light blanks on a black front end like that look great anyways.

Lookin' good Matt.


...but all you SoCAL people can cram it. I experienced all four seasons yesterday. West Lafayette is the only place with worse weather than Chicago.


yea, that's right. it rained, got kinda sunny, then got cold and started snowing. all in about 6 hours.

thats actually kinda cool. Here its just really hot, on through to slightly mild from summer to winter. Relatively speaking, of course.
