Lookin good man.

Bov cover.
Well didn't get to start working on the car till several hours after I had planned because of several compounding issues, so I didn't get quite as much done as I was hoping, but I think we will be setup well for tomorrow.

I must extend a huge thank you to Ryan and Steve (8th civic members) for coming down and helping me out to install this, without them this would not have been possible. Thanks again guys!
Yesterday we got all components of the kit on except downpipe and battery tray because I'm still waiting to get those back from the welder (long sorry). Today I am going to finish buttoning up the kit doing all lines and wiring of IAT and 4 port solenoid and what not. Will post some pictures when all finished.
Well today I did a few things, wiring in boost controller and made all vac connections, coolant connections, and tried to get my oil drain line test fitting so I can cut the line and then saw this :(

So I will have to get at least one different fitting from Positive Performance tomorrow when I pick up my downpipe, battery tray, and first piece of catback.
And here's a quick pic I snapped of my work. I need to pick up some more heat shrink to finish my IAT wiring and then basically everything is done except, evac system, downpipe, battery, and oil drain.

You can rotate that center housing to give you a better angle.
Yeah, I was also running a 45 off my oil pan not straight out like that:(Quote:

The center housing has the oil coming straight down which is what you want to ensure oil drains properly the picture is angled and makes it look like it isn't that way. As for fittings I expected yours to not fit exactly especially with the ss line since they provides very little flex so I got a nylon one that I can cut to size, but now I need a new fitting. In thinking two straight hose ends will work. Luckily the shop I go to have a huge amount of AN and push lock fittings in stock so I will definitely be able to get what I need.
Looks like you need a -10an 22.5* fitting to replace the straight and you'll be golden.Quote:

Almost looks like 2- 45° fittings would work as well. Can't tell really since I can't see it to the fullest.
his turbo sits pretty much exactly where mine does. I used 2 45's and its really hard to line up because the line can't flex much when its that short nylon or not. 45 off the turbo and a short straight off the pan should work
Looks like just 2 straights will work.
Yeah it's a pain to line up being so short , I actually held the turbo up and attached the drain line and then slid the turbo up and bolted it to the manifold, it sounds harder then it really is lol .Quote:

Success!!!!
I tried 2 straights first because when I was sizing it up it looked like it would work, but it ended up kinking so I had to do it this way.
Well pretty bad update: I cannot for the life of me get the passenger axel all the way in. I banged and pryed for at least an hour and I don't think it moved a mm. One of the nuts for my bolting the strut in is stripped. I need to lower subframe a little to fit te downpipe in but I don't want to do that till I get the passenger axel in. At this point tonight I am so ******* frustrated with the car I had to stop. The dn oil drain took up basically my entire day. O and I definitely tore the cv boot or whatever it's called because there is grease all over the end of the pry bar. Not sure if this is a really bad thing or not :shrug:
You talking the axle onto the intermediate shaft or the intermediate shaft into the tranny?
And if the boot is torn you'll be slingin axle grease all over and the cv will quickly go to crap bro.
Axel into immediate shaft. That is already in the trans nicely. And ya that makes sense I goes I'll have to replace that. Not really sure how to do that.
Alright got a good bit done this afternoon. At this point everything is finished except mounting downpipe, tightening down wastegate and dump tube, and replacing axle when I get the new one, hopefully Thursday.

Almost time bro
Woot!!
Today I hope to get downpipe in and the passenger axle out. I hope the axle nut will come free. I do not have an impact gun.
Needs a Garrett gt35r I got one for sale lol, nice build though man
an impact gun will make it easier to work
. You can get an impact screwdriver at autozone for like $8 that will get the axle nut offQuote:

I'm going to stick with the 30r for now, plan on being stock block for a while and a 35 is just too big for me at this point in time.Quote:

I just need to try to get a 45* fitting or something to clear the chassis for this slashcut.
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...pse5a42f74.jpg
And I need to have my buddy come over with his grinder and cut this stock exhaust hanger thing.
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ps224c9106.jpg
Still waiting to receive the axle. Today I grinded away that thing that was blocking dump tube. I actually had to grind a bit more away than I first though but that's done. Subframe is back up just need to get the front and rear torque mounts in. The rear was being a **** is a usual and I ran out of time because I have to go to work. Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to finish getting subframe and mounts tightened up and torqued to spec, finish running my evac setup which is basically done, tighten the slip join on my exhaust, full her up with oil and start her up for the first time. Hopefully I get the axle tomorrow before its really late and I can get that put in in time for dyno day tomorrow.
Not sure if you already did it or not, but make sure you paint the bare metal with something or you will quickly get rust!
Nice progress!!
Fuck I didn't. I well I can do that with the sub frame up. Idc if the other shit around there gets a little black spray paint on it.Quote:

Tools used to remove axle nut, check out that new 3' cheater bar ;)

And this is what my passenger axle looks like. There is no tear in the rubber from what I can tell, but the rubber pulled off the iron piece. It seems as though it could be repaired, but I'm not sure if that would be more cost effective than replacing it with a new axle. Another issue is, even with this off the car I cannot get the iron piece for the passenger axle off the half shaft. Any suggestions?

Congrats on your success... I know that feel of a first start up...
