Holy crap! 26 covers on a 25?

looks cool mate!

Exact color Im going to paint my covers too!!!!!

And you went with the plazmaman plenum!!! how did you find it? any change in power/responsiveness over stock one?

Engine looks immac an exactly what i want to do to mine. except i wont be doin the 26 covers even tho they look awsome.

Thanks man.

I did the plenum at the same time as the turbo so unfortunately can't give an exact comparison of how much power/response the plenum gave. I honestly didn't care to much about that though, i mainly wanted it to tidy up the engine bay since the stock one is a pain in the ass when trying to work on the car.

heres my engine bay, not quiet finished but almost there

Bay looks good mate, interesting to see the braided brake lines from the master to the abs unit.. did you notice any change in the pedal feel? reason I ask is im contemplating doing this myself but worried about flex in the lines.

Also, What kind of hose was used?

Cheers and sorry for the Q's..

Johno

atm i cant give you an answer now bout the pedal feel as i havnt driven my car with the lines (getting tuned today)

but i got them made and told the guys what they were for, they used -3 teflon braided hose, i'll warn you it wasnt cheap

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
