quick update....
well its winter here in wisconsin and the turbo dont like the cold startups, but once she's runnin she LOVES the cold air, just gotta watch out for a snow or ice patch....

lookin into a bigger intercooler and better bov come summer

Demon_ni2 · Jan 5, 2009, 11:13 PM

sounds good man.. what about internals so u can raise the boost? (i would suggest mishimoto for a intercooler, g line looks nice on my car, not sure if the m line will fit)

idk if i want to. its my daily driver and right now its my only car, so i would have to do it quick and i dont have much time to spare with my rc racing schedule (gotta keep the sponsors happy!) and work. although i am looking into getting another car, prolly an awd 2nd gen eclipse and build that one for all motor drag class or just somehting to play around in. but we will see what happens come summer and this stupid economy. i could be without a job in a month and i got a wedding and honey moon to plan as well since i asked my girl if she would marry me.

ok so this morning here in wisconsin it was -21 degrees with a windhill of almost -50. the car and turbo barked at me a little bit but she then started right up. granted i let her warm up for 20 minuets but i dont think she likes it that cold!

update---

i am going to buy another push fan for my car. a few weeks ago after racing someone, my coolent spiked up in temperature because the fan wasnt running for some reason. ams finally got the same push fan back in stock that i bought back in august when i first turboed my car. i just need to order it.

car has now 123600 miles on it and it still holding strong. just had inner and outer tie rods replaced, but i think they were the original to begin with.

Demon_ni2 · Apr 2, 2009, 08:57 AM

sounds good man. glad to hear your car is running strong still.

these $25 fans you can buy move a ton of air, deff will keep those temps in check. I used one on my TT of a awic setup and there was massive condinsation on the a/c lines from it.

JRR · Apr 5, 2009, 12:03 AM

thanks for that i will have to look into those.

link62 · Apr 5, 2009, 01:04 AM

yea you can get them off ebay for $25 with free shipping

japordie · Apr 5, 2009, 12:23 PM

nice job on turbo kit.

You live in madison? East/West? Me too! I would like to see your turbo set up in person some time.

nicdeloach · Apr 9, 2009, 02:39 PM

is that fan issue not the "tsb" fix for 02 and 03's... if it is,

will fix it for free. i have 130k+ and they did mine. i know u prolly wanna bigger fan, but i would still have them replace the controller so u don't run into that issue with a new one.

i will look into that. hopefully it is just that.

also on a side note....
i think my input shaft bearing is going out on my trans. well its either that or its the one on the inside of the shaft, either way its a case of beer and a whole lot of fun, maybe even 2 cases if needed. 124,700 miles on the car as of now.
