FredBeans Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Do you need a diagram, or just someone to help you wrench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08specBqsm Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 i need a diagram and i really really need someone to help me wrench. i looked at diagrams posted on the forums in other sti swap post but i am still at a lost for this. rain really messed me up because i had to packup and lost track of hoses i was labeling. eventually everything was mislabeled. no shop arounr here is willing to help either.

Leonardo Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If you can exchange text pictures with me I can tell you where they go and if needed, I can take pictures. Just lay the hoses down and I can tell you and take a picture of what yo have so far. Best I can do since I have to run my store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Too bad I'm so far north!! To far north...tell me about it. OP if you go to some of the Turbo sites/forums they may have pictures of how the lines should run. I know they have been drawn in the some Honda forums. Just step back for a second and re-group your thought's it should all be logical. Good Luck 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

08specBqsm Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 thanks Leonardo for the help. its only as confusing as it is because its being hooked up to a sti manifold so me having a poor imagination makes it hard when it isnt labeled the way i started out due to rain coming in and slight fitment issues.

peteyjr Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I live nearby and wish I could help but my schedule is tight . Try the guys In Velocity Factor in Boca 561-395-5700 ask for Felipe (tell him Pete sent you) . They know Subies well and are very reasonable. They may even come to you. They have done a ton of work on my Subies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08specBqsm Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 thanks for the info. hopefully things will be under control and completed tomorrow. if that doesn't work i will be sure to call velocity factor. i forgot all about them being around here.

DrCloud Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Try the guys In Velocity Factor in Boca... That's who Stage 2'd me ... and you're right, they're great. I find myself struggling to resist their other upgrade suggestions, none of which I really need, that sound delicious. HPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08specBqsm Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 cars still not fixed. if anyone local can help me get to the injectors on the intake manifold quickly so i can fix this leak would be greatly appreciated and i assure you with every fiber of my body i will make it worth your time. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
