The fuel pump does not affect fuel pressure it’s the job of the FPR. Once the Boost gets high the stock FP cannot supply enough fuel and A/F goes all over the place where the upgraded pump will have no problems doing that. Fuel pump is just a supporting mod, and will not affect any performance.

Allen, I got the Project Mu Brake Sock from http://www.e-autosports.com/ for like $21 shipped or so (won it off e-bay from them). I got the Project Brake Cap from FizzAutoSports. They should be able to take care of your JDM Madness!

Allen504tke · 04-20-2006, 06:32 AM

Fizz knows my JDM Madness personally

Thanks for the update I'll look out for one of those. Car is comming along nicely though.

EDIT* I still DK about the pump w/o tuning just for pecaution watch your AFR gauge closely

nice chris!!

Chris05STi · 04-24-2006, 06:16 PM

So, many you have heard that I painted those yellow caps and oil dipstick. I hate the way they looked in the yellow, and thanks to Allen for when he did his, I went ahead and did it as well. I did MacSTi's caps, but he may want to do the oil dipstick after seeing these pics. The finish came out great, pretty easy. All that is needed is to basically wash the piece with dish soap, use a sponge to get the grim/dirt out. Then wash it off with water, let it dry, and then apply a couple of coats. The paint I used is Krylon Fusion Plastic Paint, color is: Red Pepper, can goes for about $4. So, finally all the caps match with the manifold. I painted the windshield washer cap, the oil dipstick (yellow part), power steering cap, and the coolant cap (the one closest to the radiator). Here are the pics, its a great look, you can even paint it a diff color to match your car if you would want. Enjoy!!

Coolant Cap:

Power Steering Cap:

Oil Dipstick (came out flawless!):

Windshield Washer Fluid Cap:

Quick shot of the engine bay with the stuff painted...just to give you an idea:

(The cap is all red in the lower right, just the way the camera took the pic it made it look yellowish)

The spray paint can I used (for reference):

***520*** · 04-24-2006, 07:10 PM

that looks really good, ill look into doing that with a different color probably.

I wonder if they have any decent gold paint ...hmmm..

Chris05STi · 04-24-2006, 07:23 PM

AHAH, they have a great selection, I don't think I remember seeing Gold for the Plastic Fusion stuff...but they def have it for the other types that Krylon makes....Hmmmm I think I did see Top Secret Gold on the shelf for $90 a can!!

hahaahha lmao @ 90$ per can. That would be cheap. If it was that i would touch up my paint with a rattle can

top secret ish runs at 400+ a quart

A nice black might look good. hmmm, ill think of some cool color and post pics if i do it.

Ive got atleast 2 weeks till my car comes back to do it
