WELLL..........since Albert is busy driving his turbo tC.......I'll post the pics for him....hope he doesn't mind....







Besides the fact there was no directions... ......the install was pretty straight forward. Would have done it in one night if all the parts were on hand.

I wasn't there tonite for the startup but the pics were posted over at SRTforums, so I'm sharing with yall.

 

Oh yea, don't forget you're lacking some coolant and your inspection sticker is expired, heh'.

 

Damn sexy..........

 

Do you have any pictures where the breather goes? I haven't even looked closely at my engine...ha This is a necessary component that doesn't come w/ the kit? I gotta pick one up.

 

lookin good

 

V.I.D.E.O.

 

sorry guys, just got back to san antonio and the car runs STRONG! i would have to say a little stronger than an stock srt-4. sorry bout the pics and vid and thanks alot to moparrevolution for the help. the car is gone in 1st and catches in 2nd and pulls like a beast. my friend has the video footage and will probably post a little sampler vid tonight. i have to work in a little bit so won't be able to do much for the next 6 hours. a few little problems i had was the car wants to die when i come to a sudden stop, so i must downshift gradually to fist if possible. we are thinking its a problem with the mass air -flow sensor and that the computer has to learn whose daddy now. i also fried the wastegate gasket because we did not tighten it all the way (we bouught a new look alike and is working fine now). other than that car sounds great with the apex n1 2.5 inch exhaust and dump tube. its pretty quiet until i hit it and then crazy dump tube action. gas is a little bit worse but that is the sacrifice you have to take with the snail. the tial bov is one of the best i have heard yet and as you can see the engine bay is just eye candy. i had a few minor setbacks but kenny was there at a phonecall to help. another thing is that i am boosting about 7.5 to 8 psi but that it may be due to the exhaust setup. i dont really floor it just gradually push it down and let it spool to 6 and try to hold it there. overall it was a pretty easy install thanks to my dad and all the help and extra tools he had around. hes my hero and hope to have the knowledge he has one day. sciondad goodluck with your install and hope things go good.....and by the way i changed my inspection this morning. ill try to get the sample vid up soon and hopefully have the "real" vid up in the next week or 2. thanks for the patience guys and thanks zpi for proving everyone wrong!

 

is it recirculated?

 

He mentioned the exhaust dump tube, so I imagine not

 

the bov he means, and no, its not, obviously... (he can HEAR it, and look at the pics)

 

i can't tell by the pictures whether or not the MAF is before or after the BOV... but if its before then it dumps to atmosphere, that'll give a bad idle unless emanage is set for antistall..

 

The MAF is right after the air filter on the vacuume side. We haven't had problems with the cars idle with the vented BOV. Only issues we've seen thus far is the car wanting to die if you go from full boost to idle, I.E. full throttle to clutch in. Other then that, the car doesn't seem to mind once it learns whats up. The ECU takes a few hours to realize whats going on, then everything seems peachy with it.

Is the stalling behavior (full boost to idle) only before the ECU learns, or is it a perminent "feature"?

 

man that is awesome. im gonna have a really hard time waiting until its my turn to get one!

 

that all looks great, I could have even helped! I just finished my project this weekend.. I'm a free man! Till my next project. In the mean time I picked up a T5 Volvo and chipped it. I use the Scion as my autox and daily driver..

Maybe we can all hook up one day at the SanAnton autox or 1/4 mile.
