boost oh boost where have you been? so nice to have the car back finally today. few more minor things to do and then wash n' wax time for the first time of the year. and had to put the new rims and tires on today after i had a very bad shimmey going down the road. someone filled up my tire and dint let me know because now its overinflated and had a bubble in it as well. glad i caught it now and not going down the interstate at 80mph.....

 

fmic came into day. hopefully heading to the dyno again here hopefully next week. then its time to prolly install the turbo, fmic, injectors, and tune again.....

this time ill be doing about 25psi, which is where im at now but it will be more efficient in the turbo and hopefully have a bit more on the upper end with a tad slower spool from the turbo and fmic setup.

subaru presents today part of the get more "G's" campaign for the new wrx and sti models......



and if you look closly between the 2 hubs you will see why the one on the right failed...



so that whol fiasco is back together from the wheel bearing from hell. now its just to finish the fmic install and get my alignment on wednesday and im thinking of hitting the dyno again as well, we will see.....

 

hey man.. still selling the lancer? or u decided to keep it?

 

still selling the lancer. i got a few people looking at it bu no one is for sure yet.


fmic is all in and i need a few more 3" t-bolt clamps since for one the kit didnt come with them and 2 i only paid $325 shipped for it direct from china...its a turbo xs knock off is the style of the ic. im not complaining about the price nor about the few pieces i need/needed already with install, but its still better than paying $1100 direct from the manufacturer.

turbo goes on in a little bit. just about 1500 miles to go on this oil change so i can do it all at once. then its back to tuning.......thats a never ending job.

plus now after fixing my wheel bearing in the front i think i have one going in the rear as well but ill find that out on tuesday when i go in again and hopefully the last time for the alignment that ive had to reschedule the last 3 times due to the last bearing.

well had a couple of pending sales on my lancer, no one has said yes tho yet so its still up. hopefully i can sell it soon, i need the money!

 

lancer still for sale. as gas prices go higher more people arte looking at it but banks wont give loans to the people who are looking at my car, and its stick so that narrows my sales pitch down quite a bit.

jdm grill is FINALLY on, now its just to do the front lip and to continue working on the stereo...ohh and bbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooooooooossssssssssssssttt ttttttttttttttt gotta get he new turbo in...

 

well my turbo upgrade will have to wait since i have other pressing issues to deal with.

so with that if anyone is interested, i have a set of 09 legacy spec b injectors dark blue at 565cc with 15k on them. looking $230 shipped. i bought them for my new turbo then came to find out that they are too small, so i have never used them nor installed them...

these are the same injectors from a stock sti at 565cc...

arent they low impedance?.. (no good for us, without some rewiring)

 

If they worked in a 02 wrx, they ought to work in ours (unless I'm misunderstanding where they came from...)

 

i think they are a direct drop in for my wrx so in turn i think that would work for the lancers as well. i will call my local scoobaru dealer tomorrow soon and find out for sure....

 

just found out that the legacy runs high impedence injectors, thus in turn a direct drop in for my wrx, and thus better yet a direct drop in for the lancer as well.....

 

just washed and waxed...

 

my injectors that i was going to use for the wrx are for sale..did some more calcs and found out that they are too small for the boost i want and the turbo i got...

link to my injectors

pm me if interested

 

never thought it would be this hard to sell a car....went to a car max place today to see what i could get for the car if i don't sell it private party. well they offered me what i thought they would but uts way laower than what i want.

i just don't want to renew the plates for another year since they are due in 15 days at the end of the month. never thought it would be this close considering ive ben trying to sell the car really since march......
