Congrats!

I would recommend going with 3.5" if you're going for a single exit. Looking forward to the outcome

Yeah, you're right, thanks.

I am just worried about the clearance. I might have to pass on this option then.

So far today, I started it up again. Leak is fixed. Oil is topped up (it takes a crap ton of oil now). And it's too cold to get the oil temp gauge to move off of 50˚c. I do know that the gauge is seeing the sending unit, so that's a good sign.

Here's the first start up video. Nothing too exciting...

Nice, I really do like those gauges you went with!

Was the install easy enough (room under the car, etc..) just using the race ramps?

Nut_N_Much 02-01-2013 07:49 PM

Thanks. I like them too. I still need to set up the warning points.

I ended up putting the car on jack stands figuring I could gain a little more space that might needed. I can't think of a time where I thought I needed a lift to do this job.

Damn that looks and sounds like a beast! Very interested to see some numbers. :)

In the meantime, while you were building a beast I saw this config and when asked why vlan 176 didn't work..I laughed! ;)

what did you do to get the three middle gauges installed?

Boosted Performance 02-02-2013 10:45 AM

Looking good Jason. The car is almost ready for the a show.

The base map is looking solid as well, fired right up the the a/f ratio is bang on for idle. Let me know when you plan on getting the tune done, maybe there is something I can help with :).

You need to remove the entire dash to do it properly. Then you need to figure out a way to make the gauges fit. There is no easy way to do this and everyone could do it differently depending on the gauges. I made an aluminum bracket the used the holes from the factory gauge mount. Removed the hats from the gauge surrounds, then I needed to cut 70% of the plastic out of the gauge surrounds. For secure mounting i used a combination of hose clamp and fabricated bracket attached to the gauge then attached to the original aluminum bracket that I installed. This allows me to remove the gauge incase of failure without removing the dash again. Finished with securing the hoods to the gauge surround with silicone.

I would have done it very differently if my gauges were thin.
