BlackT5 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Looks great!Were you using spacers with the 235s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 No spacers. It was possible to use max 3mm so i skipped it all together. They might have imporoved the situation, but the innerfenders were partially gone already and i was tired of the constant rubbing, so when the tires were worn out last fall, i decided to get smaller tries insted.

Marlboroman Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 The pressurepipe is complete. A bit of polishing and it will lokk nice Must get oillines for the oilcooler next week so i can bolt on the intake manifold properly och finish things related to that.

BlackT5 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 You should polish up that intake manifold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 You should polish up that intake manifold!We'll see. I have to get another one anyway, i might polish that. The one i have now was glass-blasted when i bought it. But the old pressurepipe had hit it (due to bad motormounts?) and has a nasty mark on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciekb2002 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 You have a lot of work going on, I am waiting for my bottom end , It is almost done , I will recommend you to do something with tranny, LSD inside and some fresh paint outside. doesn't look great You said that nankang tires are junk , Oh yes they are , but with that huge holset you want to use I don't think that bridgestones will help without LSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 LSD are on the things-to-do-list, but it cost's a freakin fortune. The tranny i have now will have to do for now. If i go for lsd im getting a newer gearbox at the same time (which i can paint or what comes to mind att that time) to get one with less miles on it. Of course the new tires won't be able to hold the grip if i floor it at all times, lsd or not. I'm thinkin of getting another set of rims and put R-tires on them, but we'll see.

NGB Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 You are moving right along. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Last bend i needed for the new inletpipe came today. Started to fit it, but my original plan fpr how it would look didnt work. I have another idea, but i have to put the intake manifold + lower pressurepipe back on to see how much space i have.And another idea that didn't quite work out was the coupling had bought for the oillines. I have to go out and get 2 angled ones tomorrow, and then thing should work out hopefully. And if that works i can finally bolt the intake manifold back on.

Marlboroman Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Starting to look finished at least. Has started cutting and fitting some pipes and bends that will become the new downpipe. The inletpipe will get another bend. Probably between the amm and airfilter. Partially for fitment issues, partiallt to get some distance between amm and the filter.

BlackT5 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Whos tuning the car when it's finished? Still using 4.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Tuning will be done at ChipCenter in Växjö, probably by Jonas. Yes, i will still be using 4.3. A new EMS would be nice, but it is expensive, and if i get that kind of money over i'm going for new gearbox and quaife instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboroman Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Re-did the inletpipe a final time. But now it's "just" gotta be welded. Has started to build the downpipe, have spotwelded a few parts, hoping to be finished with it tomorrow, and then we can figure out where the wastegate is going to be.
