The new build! Ultimate 10 second street car!
- Thread starter Devin LeBlanc
- Start date
Anyways, not much of an update today. Worked on customers cars all day and got a few things ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow I plan on Installing the drive shaft, I have to go get a few AN fittings and hose then going to route the Transmission cooler lines and hook them up. Going to drain the oil (junk oil anyways) and install a drain plug gasket.. Forgot to put one on so has a slight drip. Refill the oil and trans fluid.
I have to helicoil one of the bolt holes that holds the IACV on as it pulled the threads out. Going to re do the whole wiring harness and remove any thing that is not needed out of it, Install the new quick disconnect EV1 injector clips also and install the harness for good with new loom. Planning on cleaning up and redoing the fuel pump wiring as well. Then all thats left is to install the radiator and burp the system.
We ordered all the silicone couplers, reducers and piping today to make the intercooler piping. Got to call tomorrow and get the down pipe flange needed for my turbo along with a Wastegate flange for the new dump tube. Once that shows up its game on to get it finished up as long as the customers cars are moving smoothly and shit is still getting done.
Also we got the coil pack bracket all made up in solid works, we will be sending that to the water cutting place tomorrow so they can do a test cut and we can match it up and make sure all the measurements are good (never had one wrong though) If it fits as planned we will be getting a batch cut. We also made up a flange to bolt on to the front of the lexus AFM where the intercooler piping will be attached. Not much left....

Not much of anything really done. I removed the throttle body and IACV along with the wiring harness as I am going to clean it up and replace a few plugs and injector clips.
I got the driveshaft installed and the trans cooler lines hooked up and filled with fluid, Also replaced the oil filter and drain bolt washer and filled with new fluid.
Intercooler piping and couplers will be here on Tuesday, I am driving to Fontana, CA right now to support one of the Evo's tuned and caged by our shop DDS Performance. We will be back on monday so ill work on a few little things to get it ready to make the exhaust and intercooler piping. Going to stop by a supplier in Cali on the way back and pick up a downpipe flange.
Things are moving smoothly, Car will be tuned and done next week for sure.

Got my downpipe flange and everything else. Should be working on the intercooler piping tomorrow and finishing it up to tune it this week for sure!
Sneak peek!
Going to water jetting tomorrow!

The quickest car in the US that is 7M does not use a FFIM. He was deep in the nines without.
Shawn Cassidy did 9.44 on stock intake manifold and throttle body. No need to upgrade in my eyes
Didn't get much of anything done today, I cleaned the power steering tank and bracket and got the lines for it. Still need to mount it. Im busy with customers stuff... sucks...

My brother got the cage done in a RX7 he was doing so we cleaned up and got my car over into the fabrication spot... Still haven't got to doing the piping but things are looking up for tomorrow. Got to do a clutch job on a Miata and assemble the rest of the Evo x we did valve springs, retainers and cams on tomorrow but then will be free after that.

he does use a stock intake but not a stock tb he has a mustang tb.
Update: Intercooler piping and intake is done. When I was working on my wiring harness I found a 1 inch section of the CPS wiring that was burned and taped over. Two wires were exposed to the shielding and shorting to ground. I think thats where the random stalling issue I was having was coming from. Anyways got to pick up some stranded 4 conductor PVC 18 awg shielded wire tomorrow to finish things up with that.
Just waiting on one coupler to show up and the AFM adaptor to be finished at water cutting.

My brother Welding:
Piping mocked up and tacked:
Will update as I go..

It's 3 inch from the throttle body to the AFM, then from the AFM to the intercooler is 2.75. Turbo to intercooler on bottom side is 2.5 inch.

I have to agree, it makes sense to a point but not too fond of it hanging there. To each their own.
