lol ok I guess i'll buy it just to be safe, can I runit without a turbo with no problems till i install it?

if so Clint I will buy your fuel pump right now

 

you wood be sending quite a bit of fuel to the puny stock injectors.....

 

Technically it would still be at the same psi and as such send the same amount of fuel. However I dont know if it would hurt the pump or not since it would be extreme overkill while still na. I say just buy the pump and put it in when you do the install, thats what I did

 

alright sounds good thanks guys

 

Well a fuel pump is a $100 part and Josh has been running his for a couple years now without problems. If he has been running that long than I think I will be fine also. He's helping me put my kit in so it's going to be tuned right.

Can't wait to put it in.

Thanks Steven for helping with the turbo fittings! I will check out that place now.

 

anytime man if i run into any problems myself I will definetly ask you lol

if you need anything else give me a call

 

hey clint how is your build coming along?

 

Pretty good so far. Just started it last Saturday and started getting it ready for this upcoming weekend. I have the intake off. Oil drained. Radiator fan is off.

Tonight I am taking the exhaust mani off along with the front bumper and radiator.

Trying to sell my Aeromotive FPR to get enough money for a used Greddy Bov.

I'll try taking some pictures and everything as the build comes along.

 

sweet bro, yeah no one asked about the fpr yet still waiting, why did you take off the intake mani? are you putting in studs or something?

 

I didn't, I took off the stock intake air box. Now I just have to wait for my turbo gaskets to come in the mail and I can start bolting the turbo up. Everything should be done by this weekend. Josh is coming over to help and I just ordered a Forge RS Bov for $100 shipped and am gonna sell my 1st gen. Will make everything less work.

 

so your not installing studs? You might need them if you dont plan on installing them. How far has build taken place any pics yet?

 

I will try getting pics up tonight if I can find my camera. So far it's just the turbo mani put on and the radiator is out, intake box out, battery moved to trunk, oil drained, and splash guards out. I was really never told to get studs.


Does anyone know if the Forge RS is a quality BOV?

 

My plan is to run my turbo with my engine with the 140,000 miles on it until it goes on me and while I am running it I will be changing out all of the gaskets, timing belt, and getting head studs for my spare engine to swap it when my current one blows.

From all the money spent on my kit, I am still contemplating whether or not if I am going to build my spare engine with different pistons and rods.

I plan on keeping this car for another two years, selling it, and putting a down payment on an evo

 

a lot of evo guys run the forge bov's. im still running sock head studs and havent had a problem ever from not replacing them.
