SHE RUNS!!! I put some new spark plugs in since the old ones were mighty roasted and cranked the fuel adjustment screw on the fuel distributor/airflow meter about 12 turns to the lean side and she finally started. Idles at 900 rpm, afr hovering around 14.7, and vacuum at 19 at idle. Couldnt ask for anything better. Today I got the timing dialed in and I took it for a little test drive. Its loud (downpipe only for now), stinky, and AWESOME!! I didnt hammer on it too much, since I didnt wanna lose my hearing. Hopefully this week I can get it to the exhaust shop to finish up that and she should be ready for some fine tuning. Turbo k-jet FTW!!

Exhaust was done this past tuesday and sounds awesome! Its a 2.5" downpipe made from an 09 Dodge Challenger exhaust:p that mates up to a flex pipe. From there its 2.5" all the way back to a Vibrant stealth muffler tuckedback a bit. This thing pulls way harder than I ever thought it would. I'm currently running at 9psi with an open wastegate that screams under boost. Might throw on the wastegate silencer that came with the kit. Lol. I am real happy with the outcome. Especially since its turbo kjet that everyone shys away from.
Definitely have to make a shout out to Brian for all the help he gave me while doing the work. Big Thanks!!!

did you install the springs and sleeves yet. Wondering how well that works and the process of installing them.
-
I have not installed them yet. The guy I got them from runs a set on his e21 and said they are great. I will let you know how everything goes when I install them hopefully over the winter.

Or tomorrow. I'll even help.
