good bye to:

-charcoal canister, lines
-egr and pipe, lines
-map sensors, check valve, egrc-bpt valve
-400 feet of useless crap

hello to:
-rerouted pcv line
-rerouted valve cover breather
-a clean, gunk free intake manifold

gave up on:
-wiring harness under top manifold runners (too much work to unravel all the electrical tape and get whatever is keeping the section along the fuel rail stiff. gotta wait til i take the top manifold section off, if i ever do)

what it cost me:
-about 8 hours spread over 2 days, working slow and taking breaks to play with the dog and talk to the school children who walk home (i live behind the school - i am not a pedophile)

-10 cents in the form of 2 nickels, one in the header to plug egr return and one in egr with custom gasket.

-oh and 2 cuts on my hand. damn bolts/nuts break loose and hand flys forward into whatever object gashes it.

engine bay so fresh and so clean clean...but only clean in the minimalistic sense. i havnt cleaned it up yet the mosquitos and darkness got to me. still eventually got to put the spare manifold on, from a '95 that doesnt have all the obd-2 bracket screw-hole casts in them. looks much cleaner and its painted up nice. with some polish work.

ehh forgive im me im bored. but i have mastered the free mods.

before /after pix soon.

hopefully try to weigh all the stuff too, it comes out to be more than i thought i can tell already.

edit* still need a 1995 ecu when i get money for one so i wont be getting the obd-2 CEL codes. then i can take the unused connectors out of the harness.

PICS GO TO: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?i...ulation_page=Y

 

hehehe good job man, want to see pics soon...are you waiting fro any other parts to come in???

 

not at the moment, got a job so catching up on the bills.

but next items in order are the manifold, turbo and intercooler/bov stuffs, then its basically cheap items like afc, injectors, wideband o2 system, hell thats it and lots of little crap

 

i can only wish, the new year promises me school again, and money again. i stated last xmas when in tampa on xmas break that this year id have an sr or be turboed. well yet again i am sitting with a near-stock looking car adn engine bay to the untrained eye.

honestly from the pics you wont see much difference, most of the stuff was "inside the manifold" area between the plenum and runners, and behind the motor where all those crappy solenoids were.

like i said gotta get the obd-1 ecu and pick up new cap/rotor/wires, and get a sealed battery for the trunk, and ill be finished with maintenance stuffs finally. then onto hard expensive parts. (iat manifold will be uber hot dont touch)

my car wont ever be hot. ive given up on suspension really, just doing mild brakes, and going for some stump pulling torque numbers. i feel so much more proud and satisfied from upgrading power than looks. outside it really just needs some paint and maybe a lip, 240s are hot in stock form.

 

+1

 

one of the junk yards i visited out by river view had ecu for 1.50 not sure if it was for a 95 though...they have a bunch

 

luckily, the obd1 ecu works great with your dist. ive got one if you need it. it sounds like you have plans for everything i did to my car. but i also moved the realy boxes to under the dash. heres how mine turned out

 

taylors is deffinatly +1
