Xplocivic's Progress (Almost There!) PICS PICS!!
 
OK, So I'm seeing all of these progress threads and had some pics of when I finished last weekends part of the install, so here they are. Other things done that you can't see is that the oil pan is tapped and the VAFC is in as well as the 450's and the 255lph Walbro. I had that upper half of the d/p made up last week, its all BMC stuff that I got welded together, open wastegate dump, oooohhhh yeah! I have all of my charge pipes sitting in the trunk so hopefully this weekend I'll be done. I just need to cut them up and hook that bitch up! Here's a few pics.

The downpipe is money. Did you know there's a hole in your manifold? :P

Xplocivic 04-23-2004 07:16 AM

Re:Xplocivic's Progress (Almost There!) PICS PICS!!
 
Oh ----! A hole!? ----! :o No, I know, I still haven't figured out what I'm gonna plug it with, I guess I'll try to find a bolt that fits it. Thanks for all of the compliments guys, and Steve, I'll take care of you pronto. ;D

I'm surprised noone commented on the wooden adapter plate. That's totally DIY!

No, its actually a BMC adapter, lol. It got a little surface rust on it.


Projekteg: Really? I want to sell it but I'm not sure if it would go for a good grip on ebay or not, how did you sell yours?

Re:Xplocivic's Progress (Almost There!) PICS PICS!!
 
Yup, 3inch! The rest of my exhaust is 2.5 so I gotta run it down but it looks good right? I can't wait to finish. That d/p is actually all stainless but I didn't polish it cause I'm not goin for looks. :)

did you fab that dp? damn, i want one like that...very nice!

Re:Xplocivic's Progress (Almost There!) PICS PICS!!
 
Looks good man!! :o One question though, how come you put the oxygen sensor in the dp and not just in the manifold? Is it better to have it after the turbo?

Well thats cause the PS is going back in!

And I didn't fab the d/p a local speedshop did.

From everything I've read, the o2 works better in the d/p as opposed to the mani, sooo......

Re:Xplocivic's Progress (Almost There!) PICS PICS!!
