Well got some major work done on the car this past week! Drilled the intake manifold and fitted the JDM tgv deletes on nicely. Got the aps turbo inlet mounted in place and hooked up for the most part. Installation was kind of tricky, but I felt it wasn't as bad as most people make it out to be. The DW 750cc injectors are in, which was a snap to install with the mani and the manifold risers off already for the inlet pipe install. Put the Oil pressure sensor and boost sensor in for the defis. Drained my radiator fluid but wasn't able to flush and refill yet since my car is not put back together fully and I can't start it.
Did a partial 30k service with IlliniSti and Snorky... got my rear dif fluid changed. Will be finishing that up with changing power steering fluid, clutch fluid (since somehow my cap came off and my reservoir was virtually empty), brake fluid, engine oil, and the tranny fluid.
Things left to do:
-Tap the EGT sensor into the exhaust mani
-Wire up the power to the defi controller and finish up the gauge wiring
-Finish up plugging in all the hoses and connectors I had to take off when removing the mani
-Rest of the 30k service
-Fumoto drain valve
-Install Cobb heat shield, re-install tmic (after I pic out all the rocks and bugs lodged in the fins... this will be done while watching the cubbies tuesday)
-Get tuned by Jorge
