A weekend in SOCAL HMT Stylez (56K fix yourself a sandwich)
 

OK well this how we spent the weekend.... I went to work on saturday morning, but RENR, DOnald, and JUlio went to WHITERice's house to work on the cars. They had mostly everything that didnt require welding installed, so when i showed up at 8pm with the welder we got down to business.

I didnt do much saturday night but weld up a wastegate dump pipe out of some spare intercooler piping, but sunday morning was a different story.

I noticed its not that hard to make an AC compatible kit, It just limits the creative aspects of it... but it can be done with the right parts, wich i think i might be getting into making a few manifolds and downpipes for you AC having yuppies

This is julio... This is julio's adapter plate he and Whiterice rigged up with a drill press, the plate got welded onto the HF manifold.. damn thats ghetto...

It looked like you guys had fun.

But where is HMT den mother Stevemode?

Re:A weekend in SOCAL HMT Stylez (56K fix yourself a sandwich)
 

mine ran pretty smooth...
i just found out it`s not even hitting 4psi :-X but still pulls good. it doesn`t really pull all that hard unti it hits vtec at 4th gear :-X
going to get the elbo tomol and have the dump and the whole exhauts done THEN i`d try to crank it up to like 7 or 8 psi and richen up the whole map a little.. and see whatsup.
my oil pressure is only at like 45 psi at 3000rpm...sound normal??

as of Mike`s car, after we hook everything up and try tried to start it...it sounded like it has a low comp. cylinder and wouldn`t start(i am sure Mike was going to cry out loud :P)...THEN he found out ~~SOMEBODY~~ hooked up the btm wrong...
it fried right up after we got it fixed..

such a good weekend ::) ;)

Re:A weekend in SOCAL HMT Stylez (56K fix yourself a sandwich)

Re:A weekend in SOCAL HMT Stylez (56K fix yourself a sandwich)
 

renr, i think you took the 2nd adjustable wastegate. i have your painted one. took me a minute to get one hooked up (might be leaking. we can fix that sat.)
julio, u sure u tightened the water plug mang? no.
donald, exhaust was not tight. did all that after...
i spent all day cleaning the garage. my car fits with the engine hoist now. i can walk around it and still use the jack. however, i was only able to clean half of the driveway with and a tire brush.
Oh yeah, I changed the intercooler to the saab one. took some time to make it work. will post pics tomorrow.

Re:A weekend in SOCAL HMT Stylez (56K fix yourself a sandwich)
 

Damn donald's setup was lookin' all bling n ---- with his non-hf manifold and his external wastegate, and to top it all off he's got the jbwelded bov :P

Re:A weekend in SOCAL HMT Stylez (56K fix yourself a sandwich)
