Haha, yes I will be cleaning the welds up, coating it with high heat paint and then wrapping it. Fenders are harder to find then a suby bumper and I like it out the bumper more so that's why I had it exit there. I got the wastegate pipe done and was able make the oil pan work. I need to modify the front motor mount to get my oil return setup though. I'd like to get it up and running again by the end of the week but time will tell. |

Yeah I'm confused. I see a 3" pipe coming out the fender and some other pipe going under the engine....Maybe the wastegate dump? |

The picture right below that one shows you pretty well. It's the dump tube going down and the downpipe going out the side. |

I see. I'm curious why you didn't tie the wastegate into the main exhaust. |

Cause noise isn't my biggest worry (as you can see) so I went with what was easiest and simplest. Plus open dump = more hp!I got everything back together today and started her for the first time in about 3 months. Turned over and fired up like it was only yesterday but had 2 problems. First, the oil return leaks... bad. I knew it would but figured I might as well try it. So time for the backup plan, I ordered a nonturbo oil pan and -12AN bolt through fitting a week ago incase this exact thing happened. So tomorrow I will swap the oil pan. Second issue is with this stupid LC1 wideband. User friendly is not the work to use with this stupid thing. I've got it wired up correctly and hooked up to ecmlink correctly but it reads 7.5:1 and doesn't move. Shoulda got another AEM setup, I had no problems with my last one. |

Did you do the calibration procedure for the LC1? |

I read through the manual a couple times and it says optional so I figured it was optional.... Apparently it's not optional huh? |

Post subject: | Re: Fastvtgsx awd swap and project page (update- 1/5/2012) |
Yeah maybe. I calibrated the only LC1 I've installed and had zero issues with it. On the other hand I had a PLX that I didn't calibrate and it functioned properly too... |
