thismarks 65 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Exhaust arrived, decent quality. Can't wait to get it in! Depending on the mounting may just keep the tip it has. It is huge though. I'll have to see what it sounds like with the turbo. Looking at getting everything welded in at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Starting more work on the car tomorrow on Easter. I decided to replace the fuel pump as a precaution as it was a cheap replacement. Went with a 340lph Kemso ( Walbro knockoff ). Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) All I have to say is the fuel pump is not for the faint of heart... Pita! So much has to be modified! The Kemso replacement pump is an inch longer. Unfortunately, everything is fitted together perfectly in the fuel pump assembly. I recommend skipping this modification unless absolutely necessary. It's in after a day of working on the car and dropping the tank three times. Third time being a mile from home to finish the repair in a church back lot. The Kemso pump is actually really, really high flowing. So much, that it blew a hole in the side of the plastic flow tube when I made the mistake of removing the in tank fuel pressure release can. ( I had no idea that existed until doing in depth research on different fuel pump assembly designs ). Apparently the fuel return is not enough to handle this pumps pressure and sitting at a light idling. That is when the in tank line burst from the fuel pressure. Anyway, I will insert some pics of the removal. Edited April 14, 2020 by thismarks Fix confusing text Link to post Share on other sites

Getting ready now to get the LS coil conversion in soon with some nice Taylor racing wires ( I couldn't find a great price done they are high end so..... MOTORCYCLE WIRES! ). picked up a backup set of cheaper jdmspeed wires as well off eBay. Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 I just installed my oil catch can. Real Pita, due to space restrictions but came out pretty good over all. The blocked off pipe to the left of the air filter is my intercooler tubing. Link to post Share on other sites

Devinthedude1234 0 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 So what was the outcome of this? Is it running good? How much hp? How was it tuned? Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Marks 2 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm still around. Had some major work being done as well as other projects. Bought a 98 e36 convertible that needed some love. Also had three fabricators fall through on welding my downpipe in so the project can proceed. I'll be back in. Car now has a 2018 transmission and a new clutch. It had a main input bearing failure at 64k which I'm not super happy about. Ran me about 3k parts and labor to repair. I'll be seeking another fabricator in the next couple months to get the project rolling again. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Marks 2 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Update... New exhaust is in and Wideband O2 is installed with WB gauge. Started tuning with HP tuners and feeling confident about getting the turbo installed and being able to tune it. Link to post Share on other sites

Now I’m tuned to 119whp/106tq. Which is equivalent to 150 crank. I get 35mpg city which is what I usually drive. Current tune at 119whp is on 87 pump gas. Im sure I can squeeze 5+ Hp with 93+.

Bruce Marks 2 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I will be looking into getting the turbo downpipe welded in so I can get this project completed. Maybe I. The next three months Link to post Share on other sites

Best to link a video you posted on your YouTube / bitchute channel. That whp I stated was a vague guess after the turbo goes in. Link to post Share on other sites
