Winter Capri Upgrades ...

Whats the swarr bar run through American Muscle?

Something funny there Shaun ... I went to their site to get you a direct link, and noticed they jacked up the price over the last few days. I ordered mine 1/21/10 for $159.99 with free shipping, but they charged 6% tax so it was $169.59 to my door.

I now see it on their site for $189.99 (I would assume plus tax)

Swarr is still $169.00 directly, although you would pay tax (in PA) plus ship.

Where are the rest of them?

Last part of the new EMS :D Siemens Mototron 80# injectors. These are a EV6 injectors with EV1 connectors. These are supposed to be fast and should idle fine, also very friendly with high fuel pressures.

LOL ... I really don't know what you guys do with all those extra fuel injectors, plug wires, plugs ... I can barely keep on top of my junk with half the parts

Warm enough tonight to get some things done ... header is back on the car and the hot side is buttoned up ...

[Martin0660]

Need to move on to the timing drive upgrades next.

wheres the meter?

[Martin0660]

wheres the meter?

LOL, new location ... trash can :D

The Microsquirt I'm using is true speed density so it just uses a MAP sensor to calculate flow. No air meter at all on this combo :D

Looks close to the down pipe!

Looks close to the down pipe!

It's sort of an illusion in the pictures, there is room, enough ot stick my hand in there anyway. It needed to be a little tight to fit everything in there and drop the dump tube between the starter and the K-member. The dump tube is REALLY close to the SVO engine shock on that side, they are likely going to have to go ;)

looks good so you are dumping the waster gate not tieing it back into down pipe?

Yep, just a dump right now :D If it gets too loud / annoying, I will add one of those little Supertrapp disc only mufflers to it :D

[ModularMike]

Haha just dump it. My buddy just bought a Tial 44mm for his STi with a screamer/dump pipe. Lookin good Bob.

[Martin0660]

Haha just dump it.

We will see. On the street, I very rarely get to anything like full boost so it should be okay (drive like an old man). The ony question will be if I can hear the engine (knock) over the pipe at the track where it will be open from launch :D

[yeahloh95]

the guys from hybrid told me that an open dump makes alot more power then plumbed back in

Bob wants a Fart pipe..

For sure ... You might take 30% of the exhaust flow out the gate at full boost. Getting that out of the downpipe free's up that flow. The other REAL big benefit is how exhaust flows off the turbine. Sort of hard to "type", but the gas comes off the turbine wheel in a solid, spiral flow path. Interupting that with the gate return hurts flow (BTW - That's why chambered mufflers done work on a turbo car, there are no pulses)

Bob wants a Fart pipe..

Already have a big exhaust tip, wing, etc .... might as well go big or go home :D

LOL, Nah, you got the dolls covered, I'm looking for a new mop :D

You know me, go big ... or break it ;)

BTW Chuck - Take a good look at all those rear end parts and get to know them before we all spend a weekend day together ;)

I'm still young.

I thought we established that some time ago :D The good news is, once you get "old" you are old. You are only young once, and times ticking ... tick tock tick tock

12 flat all day!

Let's hope... I might have a little more in the bag ;)

[Martin0660]

I've wanted one of these valve covers for a while ... just bumped into one cheap ;) need to decide if I want to paint it red (wrinkle paint) with polished raised sections, or black ...




Also got the serpentine pullies painted up ...
