Amazing work so far!

Did you decide to go with the CAMP2 for gauges? Did GTM figure out a way of displaying AFR without using an F-CON?

Which way did you decide to go with your exhaust?

 

I actually have a different plan for gauges. As you noted, CAMP2 wont be able to display AFR without F-CON. I have something special planned for gauges and will work on it after the turbos are installed.

I have the fast intentions 2.5" catback with berk HFCs right now. I'm going to use that to get the car running and then pick up some test pipes from GTM. I'm still kind of hesitant to run test pipes in CA. The laws are just too strict. What's your experience been Terry?

 

Where in Cali are you located?

 

You tap the oil pan for the return. If you tap into a spacer, you're going to get oil backed up in the turbo, which would cause you to burn oil.


The oil feed is coming from the oil distributor near the oil filter.

 

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement from everyone!

 

Why? So you can jack my turbos? JK

I'm near Pasadena.

 

Great stuff.... lots of credit for jumpin in with both feet and sharing it with us. And your last comment was pretty damn funny!!!

 

Exactly

Sweet man

 

The only time you get the exhaust smell is if you are in an enclosed space. I back into my garage, so I've learned to shut it down ASAP. Yes, my EGT has already gone down quite a bit before doing so.

I once unintentionally stopped next to a police car while at a signal which needless to say made me a little nervous. The officer either didn't notice or he didn't care. From the side, the smell is not so noticeable. I guess I'm also a little more stealth though with 4 doors so I am less likely to get hassled like the coupe guys.

On the other hand, I've cruised with other forum members who have followed me and they've told me my exhaust REALLY stinks.

From the INSIDE of the car, I can drive with the windows down with no issues. None of my passengers have ever complained.

I've heard that HFC's normally do not last very long on FI applications before clogging, but it all depends on the tune. But I'd sure like to see how your HFCs work out though. Maybe I'll stop by one of these days to see how your install is going.

 

You can see the passenger side oil return in this picture. It is the brass fitting near the top of the flat surface (where the camera flash is reflected).

 

i currently have AAM non resonated testpipes and i can really smell it so as my passengers if my windows are down, haha but i love the gain right away afte ri installed them.

 

You're doing great work. More pictures please. I love the detail.

What size outlet are the turbos and what size pipe is connected to the outlet?

 

Wow! This could end up being the definitive DIY thread.

 

Oh wow, im truly impressed.

Thanks for making a step by step write up for others to follow.

As much as i praise your for doing this i now hate you, cause now it makes me wanna buy the kit and install it myself lmfao
