Awesome. I won't need it for initial build but I do need to bring the table and all the springs to my tuner so we can adjust it if necessary as we play with EBC settings.

Yeah I thought the same way and took the springs to R/T Tuning when I went for the tune. They didn't need them. Better to take them and not use them, than leaving them at home and needing them.

Bought the Greddy Oil filter relocation plate with thermostat. It was nearly impossible to get the oil temps up last fall. Should be good now. :tup:

Nope. I'll be making my own. Do you have pics of yours?

Thanks :tiphat:

Do you have different fittings too? I think the hoses are -8an and the oil filter/thermo plate is -10an, or vice versa.

Sasha modified the fittings for me and yes the GReddy is -10an. You have a couple of options. If you want to buy just one new braided hose, then you can change the fittings on the GReddy to all -8an. What I believe Sasha did was give me -10an fittings everywhere but I've not unrolled all the hoses yet.

Russell Performance - Specialty AN Fittings

Look at the AN port adapters and order one that will transition from -10an to -8an. SummitRacing carries them but you might be able to find them cheaper.

Grabbed a quick pic from my cell but battery was dying so no flash. Let me know if you want me to send something better.

Looks like its a equal leg angle 3.75"x3.75" and is 2" wide with six holes drill, two to mount the GReddy plate and four to bolt into the frame in roughly same location as the standard one that comes with the kit.

You are welcome. To be honest I didn't do enough research to know if you need -10an to -8an or -8an to -10an.

That's good. I need to find a metal brake for my vice to make the bracket. Finding car parts around here is impossible. I'll have to take the Greddy filter relocator into Toronto to find the fittings I need. It will be worth it in the end. I was struggling to hit 160F oil temps last fall. :icon14:

Pretty sure you can make this thing if you find a piece of 2" wide alum flat bar and just bend it to fit. It didn't look like more than 3/16" thick, maybe 1/4". If I get a chance to run to the hardward store before I install the kit I'll get you the bolt size for the GReddy mounting. For the mounting to the frame, Sasha just provided lag screws.

jwick 04-02-2014 09:37 PM

Pretty sure the GReddy side attachment bolts are M8's but they could be M10's. I know they aren't M6's cuz I have a bunch of those laying around since I replaced all the undershroud bolts. Again if I can make it to a hardware store to check bolt sizes before install I'll confirm but at least I narrowed it down for you.

Don't make a special trip, I'll check it out as soon as I get some time to myself in the garage. :tiphat:

jwick 04-02-2014 09:48 PM

Oh and not sure when you plan to install the new thermostat plate but I'll have mine in next weekend. I'll definitely send you some pictures and any advise I have to share on location.

Side note, been following your build for awhile and finally decided to sub :p. Keep up the good work!!

All the hoses and fittings are -8AN. I went and purchased 4 new -8AN fittings for the Greddy thermostat. This makes things simpler, since I use -8AN fitting/hoses for the entire set-up.

Jason, you can get these at PA in the hydraulic section. They are metric, 20mm x 1/2 JIC I think, but don't quote me on it.

Installed the CJM fuel gauge adaptor. Quick and easy. There is one small issue, there is a bracket that needs to be modified or removed. Follow along with the pics to see what I mean.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7392/...ac7365c7_c.jpg

This is the offending piece of bracket. You can cut or grind this tab off, or remove it.

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2877/...bbc2bde3_c.jpg

I chose to remove it. But now the MAF sensor wire is sticking out like a sore thumb.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7114/...84d90244_c.jpg

No problem, unplugged and rerouted. Nice and clean now.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7183/...f737b119_c.jpg

All done,

What is all that dust doing in the engine bay? It must be cleaned before picture time...:)

My is the same way....just put insurance on it today, first stop car wash. Engine/tire cleaner FTW.

You should see the outside of it. Winter snuck up on me and I didn't get a chance to give it a good wash so I could put the car cover on it. Now it's covered in an inch of sawdust, bond dust, and fiberglass dust. Not good. :shakes head:

Think I'm kidding? :rofl2:

I would have to clean it before I sold it. It's just easier to let it sit and collect dust.

Actually, maybe a high speed ramp run would remove the dust? Only one way to find out. :driving:
