Re: My winter upgrades
 

Quick update of where it sits as of today. I leave for Spain today for a month, so while I'm at Spain my buddy will be building the new exhaust for it. Then when I get home, just triple check everything and hope she starts.

Not bad, car is looking good. While in Spain you should meet up with Walter :6.

Well I got home from Spain on Sunday. Took the whole week off work to get some stuff done. Got lots done on the car. Was able to start it up for the first time just to make sure it would start. Exhaust will be built sometime this week hopefully, dropping it off at the shop who will be building it tomorrow evening.

Got some other misc stuff done. Had to slot some holes to lower the hood latch a bit to get it to fit better. Also put the hood pins on which helped as well. Hood fitment is much better now then it was originally. Also got the vent attached to the new hood. Put in the new front speakers (thanks mr. hill). Got the interior back together for the most part.

Rinsed off a lot of the dust. It's still dirty but looks a lot better. Cousin should be here shortly to tow her away to get some exhaust built for it. Then it's just triple check everything, work out any bugs, and have at it!

She's alive, and idling like a champ. Did a couple quick pulls. I'm seeing about 46lb/min flow at 20psi, but I'm way down on power for some reason. But nice to have her out and about and running well for the most part.

Looks good Brandon! That BOV is going to work as we speak :P

Re: My winter upgrades
 

That's some high quality ---- right there! Long live the 4g63, those motors are awesome at taking a beating. Good luck to ya, and how do you like that Mishimoto rad? I've been thinking of picking one up for my Evo8.

Re: My winter upgrades
 

You'll have to show me what exactly that BOV is going into sometime!

As for the radiator, it works and was real cheap. The only thing I don't like is the tabs they place on the top of the radiator for the stock mounting brackets, well they didn't line up with the stock mounting brackets what so ever. So I'll have to make some custome ones. Other then that, couldn't beat it for the price!

I've gotten some pointers online about my low power issue. I'm going to be trying a few things today and seeing how it works.

Re: My winter upgrades
 

Well got to play with her a lot more and even got to take Austin for a quick spin. She is really moving at 30psi, makes me :D Found a few boost leaks though so the car is back down until I can fix them. I'm thinking that this thing shouldn't have any issues running 10's on this setup!
