Painted the grille today, because the chrome was died...

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/09/dsc01065g8eo-1.jpg

I don`t like it at all, I think I`ll paint it silver were the chrome was...

Also painted the wipers:

exactly what i was thinking! :lol:

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Installed a HKS SSQV today:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/09/dsc01075d8iv-1.jpg

Uninstalled the lower part of the air cleaner box, now it can get a lot more air, and it`s sounding crazy agressive... :smt023

[Zac]

very nice! but can anyone explain why the EJ20H has so many vaccum lines running around in it?

[impreza_GC8]

The twin turbo setup is pretty much vacuum operated. The way I understand it one turbo will actually "despool" while the other spools up, its all controlled by vacuum. There is a very informative post on here that might even be stickied. Basically, there's enough going on under the hood of an EJ20TT that I plan on having nothing to do with one of those motors.

[Steinbruchsoldat]

very nice! but can anyone explain why the EJ20H has so many vaccum lines running around in it?

The engine is a EJ20R. And yes, the vaccum hoses are to control the biturbo setup.

But a lot of hoses are related to the LPG conversion also...


Now I`m going to remove some rust, will post pics soon... :smt023

[d1giPhux]

Nice car man! wow.. i cant believe those are 'stock' over there.. sucks.. we really get shafted here in the US. :smt012

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Removed a lot of rust today:

[Bubba_Crush]

Very nice man very clean and straight. I love the real spoiler on that looks really good

[Zac]

WHat is a "LPG conversion"

[Steinbruchsoldat]

That`s LPG:

[anothernord]

Beautiful car! I think all us USDM guys are always a little jealous of all the JDM goodness that you've go there, hehe. :grin:

[JET]

I wish I had your JDM moldings instead of my US ones, that stick out what seems like 3 inches.

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Thought it was annoying that I couldn`t see how fast I am, so I put in a new one:

[Vlad]

I've seen this car on ebay.de

but it was on another wheels, and with another front grill

look

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/09/77bd5aa4ae8a-1.jpg

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Yes, this is the car.

I changed the grill because I think the OEM looks ways better... The wheels were too big, so I`m going with the OEM ones...

Btw, it`s decal time:

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Ok, finished my Intercooler water spray today, except of the nozzles...

It uses the rear washer pump, but does not eliminate it. There`s a valve who controls where the water is going, either to the rear wiper or to the Ic.
It will spray automatically if:
-throttle is more than 80% open
-IC temperature is higher than my setting

There`s also a button to spray manual from the cabin...

Here`s a pic of the temp sensor and the hose to fit the nozzles:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/09/dsc01106a4yq-1.jpg

[anothernord]

That's awesome! I would love more info on the setup, such as the circuit that reads that temparature sensor and the valve control. I am looking at doing a similar spray setup on my TMIC, and your method looks to be the best.

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Hi,
here`s a info on the temp sensor, it`s in german, but I think you can see the circuit: http://www2.produktinfo.conrad.com/date ... _100_C.pdf (http://www2.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/175000-199999/194883-as-02-de-Temperatur_Schalter__10_C_bis_100_C.pdf)

There`s a little switch on the throttle that is pushed when throttle is about 80% open, and another switch in the dashboard...

[Steinbruchsoldat]

The switches of the IC spray. On/Off and push to spray:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/09/dsc01110y3yp-1.jpg

Tried with a hose and little holes in it, but it didn`t work well. Have to wait for the nozzles...

[chaksq]

The homebrew IC spray setup is awesome, have you been able to test how effective it is yet?

[iampetro]

damn you get a little cover for that spot infront of the shifter

here its just a useless open space :smt021

[chuckthefuk]

Very nice BG5 but I am curious about the Mines ECU specially one that has been tuned by Tommi Kaira. Every Mines ECU I have come across is the standard Mines fuel maps, what does the Tommi "edition" have in terms of specs?

Didn`T get a chance to test it yet, because I finished it yesterday late night. Now I`m going to drive to school and test it...

-Chuck

It`s tuned for 98 Oktan gas, so I don`t have any problems with knock...

Also the VOD isn`t really noticable, because of the bigger turbo`s and the Ecu...

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Put a heat wrap around the washer tank, so the water for the ic spray stays cold:

Yes, I like stickers... :smt025

Would be great if you could leave a answer, I don`t like to continue this thread without feedback... :smt006

[Paul C]

i notice you said you have put bigger turbo's on you car, i have a 94 BG5 stock and was wondering with the bigger turbos does this not increase lag?

Nice looking car......what BOV have you got fitted???

[Steinbruchsoldat]

It`s a combination of the bigger turbos and the mines ECU. VOD is not really noticable anymore. It`s a great setup, the car is really fast... :smt119

why ruin a perfectly good set of rims :smt021 not my style but we're all different

[Steinbruchsoldat]

You don`t want to know in which condition the wheels were... :smt022

I had to spray them, so I thought I could test a "different" color...

[d1giPhux]

Damn! I woulda traded you my exact wheels for yours with the stock color!! oh well.. i still needa find the stock color for those wheels so i can paint mine back to stock!

The orange on your car doesn't look bad.. and hey.. if you like it.. thats all that matters! Good job on em!

edit: get some daytime side shots of the car.. all your good rim pics are at night.!!

not gunna like, i kinda like it. lol something different. its not something i would pick for mine, but i like it.

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Finished my headlights today:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/10/dsc01203q0qx-1.jpg

[impreza_GC8]

Lots of colors going on there now. Maybe if the wheels were gold they would match the headlights a bit better.

[slaytalera]

Im sorry but i think the wheels just look...out of place...with the rest of the car. But then again im not one for obnoxious colors like orange

[SOREN]

So much win on the first page. Massive bump here, but I'm lovin' it. Wow at the speedo. I'm in love! :D
