Carnage from today- was trying to top off my aftercooler after fixing a leak on the snout and i couldnt get the reservoir lid off. It usually turns by hand but for whatever reason it wouldnt budge. The pics show after 2 hrs of vice work with channel locks, vice grips, and various pipe wrenches- needless to say the top still isnt off and the reservoir is destroyed. Big thanks to Jose for setting me up with a new replacement. Pics:

damn that was on there tight!
Wow! Its cool that [MENTION=974]MercRacing[/MENTION] stepped in to help though!
Yea for sure- he helped me out big time. I just received the new piece in the mail- just need to wrap it and reinstall it and i should be ready to fire it back up. Installed my new Ktuned TPS today as well- hopefully after some tinkering my idle issue should be resolved

great you got a new one
Thanks- well it seems like 1 step forward 2 steps back with this thing. Reinstalled the reservoir, calibrated the TPS- fired her back up. Now its more like a high idle with the occasional idle bounce. So i pulled the throttle body off- cleaned the IACV- cleaned the butterfly- put it all back together for no change. Tried it with the idle valve disabled- no change. Then i noticed the temp was rising over 200 with the fan on... And my lower hose was cool. Sooo it seems my mishimoto low temp thermostat isnt opening. It was early so i ordered a new OEM one from honda. Looks like i will be pulling the rad tomorrow and doing a boost leak test while its all apart awaiting the new thermostat. Coming down to the wire for my retune on sat- any other ideas are welcome

Well it was a successful day- the car performed incredibly. It took some fine tuning- but we were able to break 400 and be the first EP to do so. Pics:

o shit we have tha same laptop
great build thread love the numbers it made.. you guys in the states know your stuff..
i need to do that fuel return line as when mines quarter tank its splutters cant get enough fuel
Thanks guys- i just had her detailed yesterday... First time she has seen wax in 10 yrs lol. Need to do brake pads today- its always something
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Regarding your fuel issue- id pull the in-tank fuel cage and inspect. You shouldn't be getting sputtering at less than half a tank unless a filter is clogged or you have an obstruction in the line. I only went with a return so i could run e85
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No worries man- you should try to hook up a fuel pressure gauge at the rail when your tank is that low- just to see what your fuel pressure is like. You also might have a leaking return hose in the tank, which goes from your fuel pump outlet to your intank pressure regulator then back to the suction side of your fuel pump. Id try the fuel pressure gauge first though- then work from there
