Ultimate budget build.

Cool.

I keep having trouble with the first charge pipe popping off that 90 deg silicone house.

Bypass valve is holding up well though.

[E30nate]

i knew you would have trouble with those pipes. you need some with beads around the edges. you can try getting some t-bolt clamps, they usually hold better

[Danny]

I put on a new clamp and put a layer of electrical tape on the outside of the pipe, so it grabs a little better, no problems now.

[E30nate]

cool. did you get those fittings ordered? im gonna put that seat in my car tomorrow, and then if i have time i will drill and tap that oil housing. or i will do it friday.

[Danny]

Yeah I ordered them earlier this evening.

Hopefully they are down here by saturday.

And damn you and your junkyard treasures.

[E30nate]

lol. i know. that was a fucking score!

So is this going to be reliable? If it's relatively reliable, I'm down to do this next!

[norwood e30]

nice job... sounds like a plan for the 318s.

Well I've been blowing off charge pipes left and right because of the shitty ebay clamps, I have to get some better ones.

Once thats done though, should be plenty reliable.

Oh and Sam/Nando, we took your advice and tapped into the oil pan, so don't be worried about the drain.

I don't get any credit for talking shit on your original oil drain plans?

[Danny]

Sorry Farbin.

You too. ;)

[Danny]

So, question.

After I boost for a while and then sit at a red light or a stop light or whatever, I get a check engine light. I'm assuming this is because my Ecu is freaking out because there was just a whole bunch of fuel in there and now there isn't.

Any insight?

[atomic]

What are you running for engine management (sorry didn't read entire thread to see)?

Stock Ecu

Stock Ecu

That would do it.

It's probably an angry O2 sensor.
