Expect $20k. A little more if you aren't installing. You won't spend all of it but it'll give you the in case a motor lets go fund

YzGyz 05-03-2014 06:52 PM

I don't plan to go ballz to the wall like you and some of the others. But once my car is paid, I will start saving. That's the tentative plan.

jwick 05-04-2014 10:52 AM

Spent another good amount of time under the car yesterday. Replaced all AN swivel fittings around the block adapter plate chasing an oil leak. So far so good. Also replaced the v-band clamp we mangled getting on the dyno.

Sorry If I missed this where did you get the wrap for the wastegate hoses I would like to do mine as well.

Thermo-tec Thermo-Sleeve. They make several different sizes. I bought both 1/2" and 1". The 1" worked real well and I just slide it through.

Been so many weekends of nothing but working the turbo kit the car hasn't been washed in way over a month. Had a couple free hours this evening and gave the girl a long needed bath. I almost forgot how good she looks clean.

Just got the good news Mr. Gale is done with my pillar and it ships this week!

jwick 05-26-2014 01:20 AM

So something awesome showed up yesterday.

Good to know it fit. Hard to build a custom pillar for a car without having one in the garage.

Joepro 05-26-2014 07:27 AM

You are a master sir gale!

It took a effort to get in and I had to sand a little for the innovate but nothing major. High quality for sure!

Yeah, I figured you would need to sand for the 52mm gauge, I left it small on purpose so you could trim it for a snug fit. I should have mentioned that to you. How is the fit near the dash? That is my biggest worry.

First I need to talk with John, then I'll decide wether or not I will offer this as an option to G37 owners.

There's a little gap at the dash and the headliner. Only reason being the headliner material has that pad on the backside so there's a slight gap. I have no issues with it considering it's so much better than my zip ties. If a customer is thinking of show car then they would probably want to get the passenger side pillar done too so they are the same.

Added the Phunk multi-fitting with fuel pressure for the GReddy multi-gauge.

I might need to get that Greddy multi gauge.

I really like it. I have everything running except EGT. Not sure where I would tap for that and I'm not pulling the crossover pipe anytime soon.

Now if I could just fix this damn oil leak from the thermostat adapter I'd be in business.

Which fitting is leaking again? On mine, 3 of 4 fittings fit tight to the block, I wonder if you have the same fit? I'm still waiting on my charge pipes to come back from the powdercoater so I haven't been able to fire up the car yet to check for leaks.

Knowing where I mounted mine, looking from the top. The two oil cooler lines are towards the radiator and the two to the engine are on the left. Best I can tell its the left one of the oil cooler lines. It appears to be getting worse.

I'll double check mine this weekend to see which fitting sticks out slightly.

Cool. On top of that I found a bigger leak tonight at the oil cooler. I can't win with these ******* AN fittings.

Am I the only one that seems to have shitty luck with them?

Joepro 05-28-2014 11:17 PM

I found the angle the fittings are at are important,too much on any direction causes a leak...I learned that after gt getting 2 different lines to leak when one replaced the leaking one, was a head scratcher at first. I adjusted the angles and boom gone.

Angle meaning which direction they are rotated?

O&G 05-29-2014 11:16 AM

mine leaks at the oil cooler, I hate those damn fittings. It's not bad, but it's still annoying as hell!

Werd! This new leak is at the oil cooler too. No issues for 1k miles and then all of the sudden oil puddle on the floor. To go from not dripping to full on leak baffles the **** out of me.

puddles are no bueno!

jwick 06-17-2014 12:13 PM

The last week of the shipping window for my new F.I. exhaust is Friday so I would be getting a notification any day now. Too bad my tuner sold his dyno and I'm stuck waiting for him to replace prior to installing it.

Mitco39 06-17-2014 01:11 PM

I to had oil leak issues. I had a small leak at the cooler all last summer and since it was so minimal and next to no drips I let it go. It wasnt until I pulled the bumper off in the fall that I realized how packed with crap the cooler became as the oil would trap the dust and crap in the cooler. I should have grabbed pictures. It took about 2 cans of brake clean and me going out and buying a bigger air compressor to clean it. haha

That's where my major leak is on the right connection (return in my setup) of the oil cooler. Oil gets all over the place as it runs down the hose and just down the cooler in general. I had to completely rebuild the hose with new fittings. I've only driven it about 100 miles since the repair so I can't say if it's still leaking. I can say that it is no longer leaving puddles on my garage floor. I'll be really happy to get the V1.5 IC setup so I can eliminate two oil lines. At that point I will build two new oil line hoses to fit perfectly for my setup. I hope at that point leaks will be a thing of the past.
