Ya that is a picture of the other guy's manifold (he's on 8th civic) he also had serious creep issues with his boost junkyz manifold. He is going to use a 50mm wastegate, I will be using a 45mm, but we both have a 2'' wastegate neck.Quote:

Thanks, me too! I'm a little concerned it hasn't shipped yet. I think the ceramic coater is holding things up. Gonna call sheepey today and see what's up.Quote:

Ya I would just appreciate a little more communication. Simply telling me the coater is holding things up would be fantastic, rather than leaving me in the dark.Quote:

Hope you guys are having a good weekend!
Oh snap! Slicks?

Anyone know how to connect a stainless steel line to the z3 cmc?
Yea you need a certain fitting. I'll have to search for the sizing and get back to you. You'll need one at the slave cylinder and cmc. -3an line right?
s4 IG-petefromthestreets
I already have the line in place, its that I'm changing cmcs and the stock cmc uses a different fitting style (kinda) than the omni cmc/old style honda cmcs. I just went to honda to order the part that goes into the stock cmc and has female threads (from what I can tell) coming out of it. I'm hoping its the same thread pitch as what is just built into the omni/older honda style cmcs so I can just reuse the fitting that is in my omni... Then the swap will be done.Quote:

Seen it on 8th civic.
What' coating is on it.
Sheepey makes some sick stuff! Welds on the head flange are a bit rough though, my SRT manifold is far smoother. At least you won't have to worry about creep!
I was gonna get his sidewinder but due to in proper wg placement and fitment issues .
Yea, that's what counts. What mani do you have now? :threadjack:Quote:

Also last night I got some work done, got the passenger mount back in, that took quite a while... Also put the manifold and turbo in place to check for fitment:

The downpipe fits too and I would have had a picture of that, but my phone died.
Did some ghetto rigging today ;) looks like I can pretty easily get this recirculated and have a flex pipe, just not sure if a vband flange and clamp will also fit, here are some pictures of my awesome jig:

O yea that'd be nice man.
I just recently pulled a revhard turbo kit off a ep3 I'm tucking and the shop that did his work recirculated his wg too with that same flex pc u have there, and it looks sick suck u won't be able to hear the gate scream no mo and also it'll leak if the clamps ain't appropriately tightened. His had been leaking creating boost issues.
I'm kinda interested in not hearing the open dump, it's cool and all but it's so fucking loud I don't like the attention it brings. What clamp wasn't tight enough? I mean even if it wasnt recirculated a not fully tightened clamp could cause issues as well.Quote:

I think this will work out nicely. Hopefully turn around time is minimal and I can have it back on Tuesday at some point. Tomorrow I'm going to, if I have time, install the stock cmc and get those lines bled. Once that is done I just need to wait to get all parts back and get everything back together.
Stock cmc in and pedal adjusted :pray: it works as I'm hoping. It certainly feels sooo much softer than the omni. I was actually kinda surprised how easy it is to press all the way down with my hand, the omni was like a ******* arm workout just to press it in. Now I just need to make the final decision on getting my valve cover resprayed and wait for the fabrication of my dumptube to be done, hopefully that'll be no more than 2 days. :waiting:
I think that recirculation will be sick. It looks great with that flex pipe.

Ya I'm pretty excited, the car will sound sooo clean. After hearing this video of Vit's stock motor Si, I was convinced (start at 1:10 for the good stuff):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxvLNzUSNvc
Sounds good.
Sucks to hear what happened to his motor.
The motor that blew was from his black si, the car in the video I posted is his daily driver - the blue si.
Second post updated. Hoping to have the car running by Sunday night!
I'm eager too! In for the play-by-play
Little teaser pic:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ps146f6050.jpg
Picking this up tomorrow.
Ouch I see troubles in the future lining the dp and dt if u ever remove either one.
Why no flex
That was fast. looks great too. I also believe it will just be a little more effort to line things up but nonetheless it looks good.Quote:

Meant to add in post but forgot, the flex pipe wasnt going to fit in that space. It turned out that it was a slightly larger diameter so a pipe would have has to be welded into it to weld it to the flange and that just made it too long to fit. I'm really not to concerned with lining things up, I know two other people that have recirculated dumptube a very similar to this with no flex pipe and they have no problems. I'm going to just install it as is since it is cocked correctly and I can get the whole assembly in place as long as the subframe is off, which it is.
As always reassmebly takes longer than you plan, especially when you are overly anal about things. But tonight, at the very end I hit a snag, that could not be remedied... I could not, for the life me, find my valve cover gasket. I have the receipt, but I seriously cannot find the damn gasket.

I also need to fix my exhaust, as it is resting hard against the frame of the car, I think once the subframe was back up and all the mounts were in, it moved the motor enough to through the exhaust alignment off. This is extra lame because the recirculated gate may prevent me from being able to do what I need... Car probably won't be finished or even worked on for a few days, I have to take care of some other things.
Dang thats very bad news man....
Gl doh......
Well some good news for once!! I was able to get the exhaust to fit ok by loosening the slip joint and twisting that piece to a different position that mated better to the downpipe. So honestly it not fitting at first was a blessing in disguise because the downpipe has more clearance than it ever has from the subframe, and the exhaust doesn't bang against the underbody of the car at all, even if I move it a lot. Also, picked up another valve cover gasket today :facepalm: so I put that back together. Here is how the car sits now:
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ps90766abf.jpg
Pretty much everything is done, I just need to put oil in it, connect the steering column, add/burp coolant, and torque the axle nuts. I only had time to put a tad more than an hour on the car today, so this is as far as I got. I may or may not have time in the next few days to get it completed, but I have a feeling I'll force myself to have time :giggle:
Some other pictures I snapped from yesterday and today:
