  1. Were those 50lb bags of sand? im looking at getting some black diamond coal slag media that sells for about 8 bucks per 50lb bag.

    I dont wanna deal with the issues with blasting with free silica.

     

    I might buy a few more bags just in case. I think it took me around 4-5 bags just to do the engine bay, granted that was blasting with a itty bitty 40lb pot blaster.

     

     

    thanks for the info!

     

     

    yea they were the bigger of the bags. what is it 25lb and 50lb usually.... or is it 50 and 80, i cant remember i think 50 though.

    i blasted it out in the middle of nowhere and i used my scuba tank and my nira full face mask (like a firefighter one but for scuba), it was heavy as hell but 15mins screw it...

  2. finished the oil catch can... calling it a night im tired. I tried to find stainless steel but this town sucks so i had to settle for copper, i thought that would be better than the regular steel crap.

  3. Ok guys i need to fab up my intakes and here is what i have found others doing. what size filters are you using assuming you use 2. i was thinking about merging it into a big 4" or something too, not sure. i would like to get the rear intake away from the exhaust housing of the front turbo. i will try to snag some pics later of what i am thinking.

  4. Oh Ok! Many people use the McKinney Motorsports mounts for a RB swap, which I hear are pretty good. I'm just trying to find a cheaper alternative to them cause $499 is on the expensive side for motor mounts for me, but if I have to buy them then I will.

     

    and very little clearance on the oil pan.. and a total pain in the ass if you are doing external sump plumbing. still havent been able to get my driveline angles right with the r230 swap.

  5. crazy, nice find. i have a decent basemap if you are using a map sensor on your setup. im running stock injectors at the moment. cranking only right now but maybe i will be tuned by the time your ready.

  6. ok, broke out the lathe on the suspension and i am glad i did, turned out great. more pics to come.

     

    these are the lower perches that come with the ground control coilovers.... they made me laugh and reminded me of my hondas weaponR suspension...

    so giving the middle finger to that i made these. hammer tight tolerances turned out perfect i must say

    then i modified the top hats to fit inside the bearing like the oem perch...

    after that i i cut a little bit of the rubber on the isolator and put it together...

    make sure you have the adapter nipple in this picture... i think this is the stock one but it unscrews. you can get the adapter from raw brokerage but i think i told ya that already. i cant remember how the oem lines where, its been a mind numbing build.

  8. pdf sent. i think i have the bolts too. i replaced all my stuff with stainless.

     

    edit.. i would put some frame rails in there too so you dont bend the chassis.... bad dog frame rails.
