sasquatch's bp swap thread

[sasquatch]

Mike I just got the same setup for mine. Let me know how it goes. Mine didn't come with the fancy display, but same model and all.

sweet, i thought this would be a better thing to buy cause its like 4 gauges in one and if i plug in a laptop its like 20 in one lol...

That looks awesome! Did you pay retail for it, or where did you get it?

i got it off of craigslist... 250 for everything and the EGT sensor hasnt even been used the guy lived up the side of a mountian and the road leading up to his place was twisty as heck it was SO much fun to drive on, i was rippin around in my moms corolla i marked the road on my gps so i can find my way back for some fun one day

ya it has LOTS of cool stuff on it ill do a vid of all the cool stuff on it when i get the car running...

im trying to put it in my car and i finaly found a spot to put it (beside my tach) and im in the middle of re-wiring ALL my gauges... alot of wires running everywhere for my alarm system and 90% of them i have no clue where they go lol...

im hoping my manifold will get here in the next few days... i want to drive it

[Hot_Wheels]

does that wideband double as a egt gauge too? i see the egt probe. looks good sleepy!

[resuwrecked]

Looks like some nice features for the price. When that bosch sensor takes a crap replace it with a NTK sensor, they are better. It looks like it uses the same plug as my NGK AFX

got some new parts today zietronix wideband






now im off to put it in my car

here is some info on it... http://www.zeitronix.com/Products/zt2/zt2.htm

Ya it all looks great! I am very envious of your interior lights! I might just steal them to get mine working!!! lol

Wow, that cluster is bright without the filter on it. I like the wire tuck.

[sasquatch]

ok a update

i started doing a wire tuck i saw damkid doing it on his kl swap and it gave me an idea

before... sorry about the bad pic...



after



i tucked all the plugs and the relay behind the fender to hide it all looks alot better IMO...


also added some nice fuses to get rid of those ugly looking wires


tied up some wires for my gauges, sound system and harness...


and i thought i would show where i stuck the water temp sensor... from what i was reading in the b6t book i have this pipe flows the water around that has just come out of the block and head so it should be the hottest and best spot for it...


also moved my coil back to the first spot i had it casue the plug wire i have now is long enough lol...


over all shot of the engine bay...



shot of the intercooler and piping... im gonna leave it out for a bit untill i get the turbo in it...




ooo and last but not least.... back when my car was running i had a VERY hard time seeing what my speed was when i was on the road at night... with the extra gauges i have in my car shining in my eyes, my brighter headlight bulbs and the cars headlights shining in my eyes like crazy i couldnt get my eyes to focus on the cluster and see the speed i was going ... well turns out 2 of the 4 bulbs where burnt out lol... i got some new ones but it still wasnt the brightness i wanted

here is a before shot... with ALL 4 bulbs working...


and without changing ANY setting on the camera or anything here is the after shot


i took out the thing that turns the light from white to green and i LOVE it so much better ill let you guys know how its to drive with at night... even if i have to dim the dimmer switch down to like nothing thats fine... it will just make the bulbs last longer lol...

more to come

[Biff]

Makes me want to put the BP into my car!! I would have to scronge a manual tranny from somewhere.
I like the coil over spark plug set up you got there.
Looks like fun

[resuwrecked]

Oh, good deal then.

[sasquatch]

thats where i got my turbo and intercooler tons of ricers cant drive and crash there turbo civic... lol jk...

[resuwrecked]

i dont plan on having anything after the first muffler, so im wondering what it will sound like with all that pipe open from the muffler to the tip... its gonna be about 8 feet im guessing...

try it, report back with vid of what it sounds like. it will probably sound like a muffled fart, like a civic with a rusted out muffler. What are you doing on a civic forum anyway? lol

[resuwrecked]

3" is too big, 1.5 for the wastegate sounds ok, since I think you got the same one I did, which is 38mm, close enough to 1.5". A wastegate routing like in your drawing wont scream, it will sound like a car with a 1.5" dp dumping into a 3" catback, ontop of the exhust frow from the turbine. Open dump will scream. If you want it to be loud when it hits the gate then run the dump tube down under the engine and dump it there. I got the v-bands off ebay. nice stainless with a ring on one flange surface and groove in the other, so they line up perfect.

Dump under the car or run to the dp like conventional setups, and loose the cat, or gut one or something.
