So she fired up for the first time in almost 2 years tonight and i'm stoked after so long.

cons:
mild smoke is coming from the hot side of the turbo, need restrictor?
throttle body is sticking at 2k
need to adjust bov
need a new tire
need wideband
a 450 is clicking pretty loud
need tuning
fab exhaust
switch to starion IC even tho i hacked my oem bumper for hks IC
etc etc

b16a

HKS standard wg
2.5 dp (Renr/--------) to stock exhaust

thanks to Donald, renr, --------, and slomo for; chips, pipes, feed lines, fittings, muffler, delivering tools and welding.

pics from 90% done i'll post more tomorrow it's too dark







and since it's a new setup:

 

Looks good. i know you said you are switching to a starion ic, but isnt the one you have a side mount intercooler? I would have hid it and ran with it.

 

Are you from Iowa??

 

that looks like total ----.

 

cali

thank you, i wanted it to be as og hmt as possible...too many baller setups on here lately

haven't had anymore time with it since, so i'll post up by the end of the weekend

 

looks good IMO

 

Front mount smic.

Lol.

Whatever works. Decent work on the end tanks. What core?

 

That's some HMT ---- right there Chris. Hell I've got a Stevemode restrictor sitting in front of me if you want it. Pay for shipping and it's yours. Hell I'll even throw in some extras too.

 

believe it or not some chick tig'd the end tanks i cant weld for ----, the core is a nippon denso

it stopped smoking the next couple of times i started it, i'll see if i really need it. ---- she wont rev past 2.75k, hard to tell what's going on w/o an afr. but after i get paid i'll be able to by more toys and hopefully get it safely running before the so cal meet.

yeah the car is somewhat clean and the setup looks like ----. but i bought this car to have a little fun with it and not be too serious. for those who know me from way back, im mainly a toyota guy and i just picked this car up to fill my boost fix cause my corolla is down for resto. but eventually i'll want to put more effort into this rex.
