The last one -> LOL

[Damkid]

^^Thats ones for me :lol:...... i wish

[sasquatch]

got the new gauges installed... oil temp, oil pressure and water temp... i had to hack and wack the dash up a bit but they fit nice and look SOOOOO cool at night




the motor is all clean now and just waiting to get painted... the turbo manifold got a bit of a set back, im not to sure if i want to start building it outside of the car cause if its to big them i have to start all over again ill build it when i start the swap...

[Hot_Wheels]

i would say just build a killer manifold and build the car around the manifold. just my .02, just for poop and grins can you take pics of the 323 gtx crossmember vs festiva. im just wanter if its easier to modify the gt x member to put the b6t in with g25mr. also to get more room for your mani, use spacers on the crossmember bolts like1/2 this will drop the crossmember down, once you drop the motor/ trans combo down you can push the trans closer back under the steering rack.

[Hot_Wheels]

blah

[sasquatch]

ill take some pics for you if i can... im just gonna make my own X member with those mounts a copple pages back... that should get it low and as close to the firewall

[Coffinator6]

what one should i use?

my weedeater could benefit from the first turbo.

[sasquatch]

belive it or not but that one is going on a buel motor in a custom chopper... its gonna crank out about 110hp the turbo is good to about 150hp... my friend has so many turbocharged things its stupid...

also i had a crazy good idea... has anyone used a electric oil pressure gauge as a fuel pressure gauge? the one i want from autometer is like 150 bucks the one i found at my fave store is 22 bucks lol... its full electric so its leagle to have in the cab anyone know if that would work? i cant think of a reason why it wouldnt...

[eurotiva]

Legal to have in the cab? Canada must have some stupid laws/rules.

[sasquatch]

ya they dont want a pressurized fuel line in the passenger compartment... and i dont feel safe with it... what do you think about the oil/fuel pressure thing? sound like it will work? i was just gonna take out that plug at the end of my fuel rail and get an adapter to bring it down to 1/8th" NPT thread...

[eurotiva]

Should work. Your talking about the electric sensors right? Fuel is just alot more harsh on things than oil.

[sasquatch]

ya i just thought about that... any ideas on how to stop it from eating the sensor? or just slap it on and see how it lasts...

[eurotiva]

Yea you just do NOT want a fuel leak.

[pr0nst4r]

You could always buy an electric fuel pressure sensor...







or move to Florida, where we have pretty much no regulations as far as that kind of stuff goes....












and you don't need a separate car for the winter time.

[Flyin4stroke]

no you just need a separate car for the summer time... One with a/c preferably
