how about tuesday morning to afternoon, i work at 5, so is it possible to get everything done by 4? my uppipe is still in, the turboback and exhaust system is out, all I need help with is the uppipe and the turboback, and i'm sure I can do the rest, thanks a lot everyone

 

Is the WRX your only means of transportation? If so, I would suggest waiting for an off day for the uppipe because sometimes you just never know what goes wrong(ie. frozen bolt, broken bolt, other probs). I've got the tools if you need.

 

actually, the car is out of service right now, i got other means of transportation, i was hoping to wd40 the bolts the night before to get them loose, so hopefully by the time i get help, it should be good and lubed

 

sorry i forgot to mention that chris's tools are already at my house, so hopefully all the tools he has is enough to do the job, thanks

 

with the right amount of tools, the install would be a snap. make sure you have everything ready such as the gaskets etc etc. you will want to do the install easy not rush into things. rushing can result in broken bolts which in turn leads to wasted time to City Mill

 

Get a O2 sensor socket!!!!

 

day time work is out for me, I work all day.

Dan's got a decent point about the o2 sensor bung in the downpipe. If you ever want to tune your car, or have it tuned, with a wideband sensor, you might as well go to exhaust systems hawaii or somewhere and have them weld in an o2 sensor bung. It can be done later on of course, but since it's out already .... If you decise to have the bung welded in, make sure you get it in an accessible place!! And also in a position so that the sensor will be mounted so when in place, it is in a 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock postion in realtion to the 'top' of the pipe.

also, when doing the uppipe, you probably want to have a dremel handy so you can cut the heat shield by the senosr hole to the edge, which will make it a lot easier to get it on and off. (especially if you don't have a 'sensor socket'.)

 

hi everyone, the package has arrived this afternoon, with the downpipe, uppipe, some studs, and gaskets, and the exhaust system. jon(infek) plan to help me out on wendesday afternoon after 5. I can work tuesday(tommorw) anytime before 4, and the whole day on wenseday. I just wd40 most of the bolts underneath the car and top already, but I don't have a O2 socket? where could I get one? well, thats all for now, and if anyone wants to help me out, let me know, i'll try to give the best directions as possible, thanks a lot everyone for all the help, i really appreciate it!

 

thanks a lot to all the guys that came out to help me in my install, jon(infek), john(boom), steven, my friend jon, i could not do it wihtout all you guys, i really appreciate the help! thanks sean for the advice, but maybe i should look into the HKS intake. right now my bumper must be cut wayyy more than i thought, its silly how much i need to cut but i guess it has to be done. i just gotta install the turbo heat sheild back, and install the CEL fix. and all these little things that i just need to install, its all fustrating but hopefully i'll get there...soon.... thanks again everyone!

 

np, anytime. glad we can put in the FMIC(didn't help much), uppipe(didn't help much there either), turboback system. in all, i think it was kinda cake besides the Blitz SUS and FMIC thing.

think about this one...the SARD Racing Intake w/ Samco MAF hosing.



If you notice, the FMIC pipes are over the intake but the way you have yours situated, it probably have to put the intake over it.

 

hey jon, does it come like that wiht the samco maf hose? and how big do you think the diameter is? and wat vendor holds them? and how much? thanks a lot

 

you also know what vendor sells the HKS intake also? damn, i was test driving the car, and my car died on the road, found out that the pipe that holds onto the bov on the intercooler came out , pretty scary, thought i needed to tow my car at that point, but i put it back on, hopefully i can get it on tighter later, gotta tighten those hoses. thanks

 

daymn. yeah you can blame Jon on that!(just kiddin). You should always double check the tightness of the piping. i would check all the piping too by pulling and playing with them to see if it actually comes loose or not.

were you at manoa? if so then SCSI got embarassed by ya

anyway,on the sard intake, i'm not too sure who carries it but i know vivid does but they're not really good at sending stuff down here to be honest. the piece is just as expensive and does not include the samco maf hose unfortunately. thats like another 170 bucks.

 

I would also check on the AVO intake....but anyway, for the HKS intake, its called HKS Mega Flow. I don't know why vendors don't carry it anymore but I would suggest you do a search on it to find more information. I believe the diamater is about 200mm(give 20mm to be generous) for the Mega Flow.
