Actually a few of us were talking it over and decided that you need to keep your Sonic. We can revisit your request again in six months.

Well like I said the header will be here the 29th that's when the tear down and building starts

I'll have it done hopefully at the latest August

The intercooler would have been put in today but it was wet and cold unfortunately

Hey sneaker there was a thread about the 42Ib injectors on here some where I don't know if that helps

The 1.8 injectors are not the same as the 1.4 injectors

 

[Scott1_2]

Any update I'm not in the best spot to be pulling injectors at the moment

I never have free time between school work and the woman it's hard to be able to get one off and measure

 

[Sneakerfix]

With out knowing the length I'm not 100% about which injectors can be used I have an idea it's 55mm but not sure

I just got my second exhaust manifold my brother is going to play mad scientist on it to make the turbo mount up

I have to make sure it fits my car because it's off a Cruze i don't think it would be different

It's all the same. Make sure before fulling giving it a full tig mount the turbo and manifold flange on. When you get the stock manifold off post a pic of the front of the block

I took it off today sorry I didn't think to take a picture I can when I take it off agin

my brother gets to start playing mad scientist with the turbo and exhaust

any one know about head studs I'd like some because that's normally the weakest point

 

[Sneakerfix]

If only I could find the oem part number for them I could tell you if arp has them

 

[Scott1_2]

Well I asked auto-zone and they said they didn't have anything yet

Me and the sega soon to be turboed sonic

 

[Scott1_2]

Ok guys zzp exhaust or magnaflow I'm getting impatient

my brother is working on the header now

 

[widdz]

Go to a speed shop and get a custom exhaust for cheaper.

 

[Scott1_2]

My brother can do it but I was thinking since Zzp is doing my tune and I have their intercooler should I just see about a discount on the tune of I do their exhaust

 

[$ub$onic]

Zzp tuned. This should be interesting.

 

[Scott1_2]

Then who they are the only place I know around me that would dyno tune
