lsturbointeg's "Black Candy" build thread! (with daily/weekly updates!)

lsturbointeg · 04-07-2020, 12:21 AM

onto my next project to do list!

painted the cross bars inside the grill with Rustoleum's Metallic Champagne Bronze!

while i was at it i thought it would look nice to have the strut braces compliment it

i took it a step further and painted my strut bar as well

lsturbointeg · 04-07-2020, 11:14 PM

so i sprayed 3 coats of matte clear on the strut, cross bars and decided to start working on the VRSF cp install while they were drying!

good reason why i ordered an oil catch can!

side by side comparison

so i ran into an issue with the cp connecting to the throttle body. seems like the bore inside the inner lip is too small? contacting the seller and will post you guys on updates

Your saying thats the max it will go in? Did you try without the rubber gasket to see if it fits?

I was able to fit it when I lubed the o ring very lightly

Yea I put it on earlier... when I got my Wagner ic I threw it on that night... but the charge pipe wasn't that important because I had it in the garage for back up...

Cool. I'm looking into the intercooler now for the next upgrade

Got the car somewhat completed and back on the ground. Here's an audio clip of a cold start and revs. You can also hear the TurboSmart dual port bov in the background. This thing is so much louder now and I love the new tone of the exhaust.

Here's the TurboSmart

DRKNEVL · 04-10-2020, 01:59 PM

Sounds awesome!

lsturbointeg · 04-11-2020, 07:42 AM

here's some shots of the VRSF cp installed. like i said, couldn't get it to slide up over the throttle body but after stepping back and re accessing what i was doing wrong i was eventually able to get it on and get the c clip to snap in place

lsturbointeg · 04-11-2020, 07:42 AM

strut brace, strut supports and cross bars installed! i really liked the way these turned out.
