Yea it should be nice when it's done.

I got some more work done today, drivers side of the wire tuck is completely done.
Not much left to do on the passengers side.

Brake Calipers, Brackets, and Discs are all off and prepped for paint along with the heat shields.

Will be back at it tomorrow.

kma5783 10-08-2012 10:13 PM

So I removed all the brake calipers to clean and paint them and I'm about to order ATE Super Blue to refill and bleed the brakes when I reinstall everything, I have a question though.

Is 1 Liter of Fluid enough to do the whole system? Or should I order 2?

kma5783 10-09-2012 11:39 AM

Anyone?^^^^

9krpmrx8 10-09-2012 11:50 AM

I don't think it will be enough man, I used almost one full one when I did mine better safe than sorry.

FIREBALL9 10-09-2012 12:30 PM

Well I spoke with my rotary mechanic and said that it wont take more than one liter. If you are still concern buy 2 and I,ll make u a deal. I'll would appreciate if you do the same to mine since the 8 never had it done. I would of course pay for the can and labor. Let me know.

Chris 10-09-2012 12:38 PM

just get one man, if you really need another.... which I highly doubt you will, then we can order another lol

jose and glenn have done the change to blue dot, text them

Thanks, If I was just bleeding the brakes I would probably just order one, but the Calipers were removed so everything was flushed out.

I can do that, you just want your brakes bled?

I'll text them, but I'd rather order two to be safe and get it done, than order one and find out I need more and have to wait for another Liter to get here.

FIREBALL9 10-09-2012 12:49 PM

If you could get system flushed out that will be great.

Chris 10-09-2012 01:37 PM

2 it is

Yea no problem, We'll have to figure out when we can do it, I'm trying to get my car put back together so it will probably be a couple weeks before I can do it.

FIREBALL9 10-09-2012 05:03 PM

How's the build going? Did you get your manifold and the parts your were expecting?

Good, Got the manifold back and all the parts I ordered have come in.

Pulled the injectors last night, the P2 Injectors will be sent to KG Parts to be upgraded tomorrow.

Battery harness is all sleeved and back in the car.

I need to get some new studs for the manifold to turbine housing connection, I ordered two different sizes and because the turbo has to be spaced off the manifold neither will work, one is too short and the others are too long.

FIREBALL9 11-07-2012 09:12 PM

It's good to hear that is going well. :icon_tup:. Except the part where you need to get new studs.:uhh:

kma5783 11-18-2012 10:37 PM

Progress is still being made...

Got the Airbox Tray cut out of aluminum just have to bring it down to be welded along with the canister setup.

Brakes are all re-installed, just have to get Chris back over here to help bleed them.

Got a bunch of wiring sleeved and organized, and relocated the Fuel Pump Resistor and MAP Sensor.

Ran the wires for the Battery under the car and temporarily connected power to everything to make sure there were no obvious problems and to be able to check the power source I used for the Gauges and Boost Controller.

Boost Controller and Gauges installed, also rewired the headunit/metra kit cause it was a tangled mess of wires.


Thanks for your help this weekend Chris.

9krpmrx8 11-19-2012 12:02 AM

Glad to see progress being made :)

kma5783 11-19-2012 11:08 AM

Me too, I just want the car back together so I can drive it.

Chris 11-19-2012 11:21 AM
