update, my FMIC from Rogue Works LLC with a little size representation. thats a foot long shoe !

[95CelicaST]

You need to go get some mounting hardware for that intercooler.

[Blakout16]

maybe i can get my exhaust shop to weld on a mounting bracket so i can screw it into ze frame...

[95CelicaST]

yous going to leave me a key to get in on Friday?

[Blakout16]

no, you have to stand out in the rain haha, jk! sure ill leave you a house key... i dont even use mine nemore cuz i have the garage door opener.

[95CelicaST]

You should talk to Lagos about the IC mounting. I don't remember where I saw it, but he explained an inexpensive way to mount it level.


.... gone back to thinking of the AE111....

[Blakout16]

you and you're stinky 4age! we need to have a go at it before i turbo it, so i can show you the awesome power of 4afe. less valves = awesome. hahah @.@
neways, i spent 3 hours today filing-sanding-polishing my bov flang bit of my intercooler piping, tomorrow i get started on my oil pan! with the bung welded on it.
he he - im sorry matt! i'm just putting a little work into it... you can finish it if you want to ! <3 cuz im sure u'll do a better job

(side note) my injectors are scheduled to arrive here on the 18th! haha woo cutting it close eh ! ;D talk about some suckage if it goes late. i will still do the build/tune neways reguardless if i get them, i will just have to install the 12:1 FMU in hope of some increase in fuelage, for the time being - but i will most likely recieve the new 380cc injectors and not have to worry.

[95CelicaST]

In about 15 hours we will be tearing into this! Woot!

[95CelicaST]

Alright kiddies. I got here at 11PM Friday and we got to work. It is now 5:30AM and we're wrapping up for now. We have done everything we can until the stores open.

First things first... pull the battery and exhaust manifold.

We then drained the oil!


Once out we had plenty of room to set up the oil filter relocation kit...

Here is where we are mounting it. (thats the passenger side)

Next was fitting the turbo manifold. This was a little complicated, as the manifold would hit the alternator bracket, so we took a file/grinder to the corner and were able to get it on fine.

While all of this was happening, Aaron was underneath pulling the oil pan.

And this is how she sits now.

very nice...keep the pics coming.

[Blakout16]

Alright, I'll post earlier today...

Well we went to sleep at like 7 this morning and we rolled out off the couch at 11 and got back to work..

So we start our day...


Aaron went to pull out the stock fuel pump and put in the Walbro pump... but the d*** thing is not loosening up for no one. We all got back in there and had a shot at it! We used, WD40, Liquid wrench, and PB blaster... Not moving.


So we make a few phone calls... please disregard Robert's obscene gesture in the background.


And we move on to the IC mounting.


And make it pretty...


And then we took a break.


Bumper test fit..



And we finally got the stock oil pan off.


And the new one installed.


Thats what we have as of now. We'll be working on it until the wee morning hours, so I might update this again in a bit.

EDIT: apparently I'm logged in AS Aaron...

[kerosene]

looks like you guys are having a blast!

Were you burning oil before you replaced the oil pan? If so, did the burning stop after you replaced it?

[95CelicaST]

I don't think he burned any oil before.. who knows if he will after because we are still waiting on a few parts...

We have been cutting some IC piping and getting what we can set up for that. We clocked the turbo to make things a bit easier as well.

[kerosene]

Now, do you think the oilpan is one of the "oil burning" problems with the 7afe, i remember my mechanic told me its either there or the seals on i think the valves, or pistons...dont remember exactly...

[Blakout16]

that might be an issue with the 7afe, but i clearly do not have a 7afe

[kerosene]

yep i know, just thinking about it in general if it might help... btw i like your signature... lol!!

[Blakout16]

a some what update - without pictures.

i got the fuel pump out. i cut the fuel line off from the outlet. i will later show pictures on how im going to fix it - if neone runs into the same problem.
we did some IC piping work. i have to get ride of the windshield washer fluid reservoir meh! oh well i never use it neways.
i did more clocking of the turbo.
earlier, we removed one radiator fan on the passenger side - i later (by myself) realized i needed to instead remove the passenger side, to remove the driver side. so i put the passenger side fan back on and took the driver side off.
the reason for this was the intercooler charge pipe was in the way
also, i bolted up the oil pan all the way on.
- starting to remove the intake manifold to get ready to put the new injectors in.
- already have much earlier put the mr2 2bar map sensor in.
-cutting the bumper some more so the intercooler piping will fit (oh joy!)

[95CelicaST]

So I took all of that dirt to the eye for no reason?

I'm on my dialup so I'm not going to even try to upload the shots of the clocked turbo and all that jazz.

Did you put the fuel pump back in yet?

[Blakout16]

nah im still waiting to get that replacement line + hose clamps. which might be today... but once i get that it's going back on! cuz im tired of the house smelling like petrol

[Blakout16]

got some work done... finished up the driver side intercooler piping
also im close to getting the feed line done.... still weeding out some problems with the return line
got the fuel pump line just havent installed it yet....
still have to take off the intake manifold!
