Are you able to put the block off in your hood? or is it open all the time?

 

ya thats a good question. i dont want any snow getting in my engine bay! for the summer it would be fine, but winter is a whole nother story

 

You guys use winter blockoff?

ROAD/RACE

 

Ah thats a good point I get 355 days of rain here where I live lol

 

i can if i want to.....i just dont have it, im gonna look for one....haha so my licp blew off today and i had no idea what was going on, it was on the parkway and suddenly i just hear loud screeching...only boosting 9 pounds. but neway i was glad it was only that so i put it back on and went my way. it did kill the car and took a min to get started

 

ben there done that. ive had my upper pipe blow off many times. and before i got the new vibrant couplers for the intercooler i blew off a lower pipe. gotta love that sound vvvrrrrrsssssssshhhhhhhKLUNK!

 

yea whats with the noise, rele wierd? lol scared me, thought my turbo blew up

car out of service right now........changing the front wheel bearing and have to take it to this guy that has a press :/

 

its from the pipe actually hitting something and all the pressurized air going where its not sposed to go. thats where the clunk comes from.

 

lol i know this is going to happen to me. So zulu what is the next step for you on your build?

 

was just discussing that tonight. i have to check the valves for clearance and if they work fine then its being put together and im spraying my engine bay my car color and puting the motor back in, still gotta figure out how to do the ecu also

 

haha the first time an i/c pipe blew off i thought i blew my engine haha. Then i got used to it. My LICP portion that attached to the intercooler outlet was a weird angle and popped off a lot before i custom bent some pipe.

 

anyone know if a evo lightweight pully will fit our car!! that would be awesome since i have one

 

Well if you already have one, why not go try it out to see if it will fit?

 

will i need a crank dampner

 

bought myself some evo mr mats today..whooo lol
