Woohoo!!!!!Only had 5000 miles on it. Just needs some tubing and the thermostat. $1370 shipped. I'm so pumped!So ya, to compensate for that price I'll probably sell the Unichip I've had for 3 weeks, My CAI, and the Helix. I'll keep everyone posted.Lancer.......interested in helping me with this install? I'll pay you with money or beer

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 12:39 am**

That is so awesome! I want one so bad you don't even know.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 12:57 am**

I hear ya, man. I'll keep an eye open for ya. You have automatic, right?

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 1:03 am**

Yes sir I do. *EDIT* I would also be willing to sell one of my kidneys to help fund for it.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 2:45 am**

Yeah I would have loved to help, But you moved to Madison! If you still have a place in GB, we could do it there. And I'll take the beer Budlight bottle)! Even though I could use the money, just wouldn't feel right taking money from ya.I take it that your going to stick with the TRD ECU? Or are you gonna get a camcon down the road?

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 4:52 am**

I'd drive to Appleton if we could do it at your place. My dad is pretty good with cars and could help me but he probably wouldn't be too hot with the supercharge idea......until he can't change it. Right now I think I'll sell the CAI, Helix, Unichip, and grounding wires. I'll focus on finishing the exhaust and go from there. I have a feeling I'll be happy with that result and, if not, I'll do something in the feature.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 5:02 am**

That would be nice, but, my land lord and I are having a little fued. He's having a hard time with money (as we all) and keeps being a weiner about everything. I can't even wash my car at home anymore cause he took the hose and removed all the fuacets from the outside!Got a freind in Darboy (south Appleton), that might let us do the install there. Nice big garage and driveway. I'll aske but don't hold your breath for me.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 5:09 am**

No problem, man. If you could do something I'd be forever greatful, but I do realize that nothing is guaranteed.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 6:33 am**

is this the one from a MO member? cuz I posted a FS thread thinking of you

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 6:37 am**

He posted on 9thGen and MO. But he had it on a Corolla.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:06 am**

ah yeah well it was a great purchase! keep us updated

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:23 am**

Congratulation on the S/C. I would pick up a JP header as well.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:29 am**

He already has the DC header.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:51 am**

Indded I do. The DC has served me well.

Cool beans

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 11:15 pm**

Sooo......what types of cars will I be able to beat? Although I won't be racing much, if someone challenges me and I know I can beat them, then it's on.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 11:41 pm**

v6 stanghonda's, specially mrizzles lamei hahahhayou could take pretty much most I4 cars...unless they have FI too. Some v6's that are heavy. maybe v8 trucks and suv's.

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2007 11:45 pm**

So I have to buy different spark plugs now?

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2007 9:25 am**

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2007 9:36 am**

oh yea, some people run the copper? idk the cold ones and they dont last long maybe 3k miles? but some FI people swear by them. The SC manual should list the part #... here we go!OK91 oct gasno cai160F (71C) thermostatNGK V-Grooved p/n:BKR6EP-8 gap@.08mmorDenso Iridium p/n:IK20 gap@0.8mmSC belt p/n:00602-17620-165There ya go!

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:38 am**

3000 miles? No way am I changing sparks every 3000 miles. Did you mean 30,000 miles? What is recommended between those two? And the belt is included, isn't it?

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2007 11:16 am**

well those are the copper plugs...Id just get the NGK ones which i think are the same as the denso.... Nope I mean like they have to be changed and/or checked every 3k cuz they do not last long at all.THe belt is in the Kit but you got a used SC so I wasnt sure if everything came with it i just posted those parts as things you need if you get a SC.

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2007 12:26 pm**

oh, ok. Thanks!

Posted: **Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:35 pm**

Keep your grounding wires, how much could you sell them for anyway... the benifits out weigh the loss... you need all the ignition current you can get to....

Posted: **Fri Aug 31, 2007 10:13 pm**

I go away for a week and all hell brakes loose.Awesome,another one to the club.You will enjoy it,give us an update when you take your first ride.

Posted: **Sat Sep 01, 2007 1:41 am**

Just came in today. Now to order the thermostat, spark plugs, and maybe the boost gauge. Find anything out, Lancer? I'll pay ya $200.

Posted: **Sat Sep 01, 2007 4:52 am**

Nice deal...Can't you have your Unichip remapped for your SC set-up? The one I have has a 3rd terminal labeled "boost"....

Posted: **Sat Sep 01, 2007 5:29 am**

Ya, I can. But I want power and reliability and I have a feeling that the SC will keep me happy enough, so to offset the cost I'm selling things I don't really need. After this I'll finish the exhaust, and then start on the outside.....

Posted: **Sat Sep 01, 2007 5:37 am**

Cool...Look forward to hearing how it goes. I am also looking at the SC fo rmy Vibe, had planned on a Turbo kit until I realized th estate emmission laws consider it "Tampering" and therefore illegal. That said, with the SC I will have a few bucks left over.

Posted: **Sat Sep 01, 2007 11:53 am**

LOL got that right.... Will do.

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 11:39 am**

Thermostat on order.Awaiting confirmation on Denso IK20's.Then I need to pick up some hoses and I should be ready to rock.

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:05 pm**

did you get a TRD one? I think Im gonna go get a TRD thermostat and radiator cap....

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:08 pm**

Ya, TRD.

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:21 pm**

let us know how the thermostat install is...I hear its quite the adventure....

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:22 pm**

shouldn't be too bad. At least not as bad as playing tic-tac-toe with the fuel lines and wiring harness.

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:26 pm**

you take pictures for us! I need a guide to that thermostat install

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 10:44 pm**

Hey North,it will be easier for him to change his thermostat,since his IM will be off when he changes it.For you,you have to get it from the bottom and it's just underneath the IM,to the right of the alternator.What thermostat did you order Petrucci?And do you have the install instructions for the s/c.

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 11:35 pm**

I have the GM instructions and the TRD instructions (Unit, and Ecu Kit).PART # PTR01-35050-01 Items Ordered:Item: THERMO 3.4L 1.8 05T

Posted: **Sun Sep 02, 2007 11:36 pm**

Eh, and I need the Spray-on-Gasket, some more tubing, the fuel-line removal tool...........I have a feeling it'll be a LONG time before this gets installed.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 12:16 am**

Maybe Lancer has some of the copper spray gasket stuff,because you don't need that much of it,and do you have the gasket for the s/c.What hoses are you missing,do you need pics of the routing,and is Lancer giving you a hand with the install.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 12:18 am**

A lot of the hoses are still attached but I was told to buy a few feet of 3/8" to be safe. I'm not sure if he'll be helping. I'd love to have his help but I know that we can't do it at his place and I know that we're all busy and such, so we'll see.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:25 am**

Anybody link me to the Denso IK20's to purchase? All of them I find seem to be for the XRS and I want to make sure I order the right ones that are able to be re-gapped. Thanks.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:33 am**

Why don't you try the NGK BKR6EIX plugs.That's what I used and they are holding up fine.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:34 am**

All right, I may do that. For some reason people were telling me that the IK20s were superior.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 5:56 am**

These work? I always ge scared by that -11 at the end. Confusing.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWD1V

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 6:17 am**

For the disconnect tool,you need the light blue one.http://i7.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/f4/e6/63_1_b.JPGHere's an ebay linkhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...photo
