Hey man, I got the tial bov in and I was wondering? What spring is in yours and how does yours move when you just rev it? Mine does nothing when I rev it. Maybe just a difference in head units, just got me thinking is all. Sorry about your parts man, sucks waiting!!

Yellow spring. When I rev it, it stays closed until I let off and it opens depending on amount of built pressure. I think it could be the blower size.

Will be putting in a larger intercooler when I pull bumper to put on BMR front crash bar. First cars and coffee here in MN this weekend, the mustang won't be driveable as we wait for parts. Will be taking my BRZ instead.

Good choice on larger intercooler, sorry she's down right now. Can't even get mine out of the garage if it won't stop sleeting and light snow...

Stage 2 Procharger intercooler will be here 5/6
3.5" coupler with t-bolt clamps will be here 5/6

Ordered the brackets for the intercooler today from Procharger - No ETA yet *edit will be here 5/7!

Contacted Beefcake to check in on status of the parts and made the following adjustments:

Swapped the order for Steeda drag springs to BMR drag springs which are in stock. Should be here next week.
Swapped the order for red BMR rear shock mounts to black BMR rear shock mounts which are in stock. Should be here next week.

Asked for a status on lead time for the BMR differential bushings, should know more next week.

Intercooler and coupler came right on schedule and look good:

Update on parts:

Intercooler brackets - Came in yesterday
BMR Drag Springs - ETA 5/13
BMR Rear Shock Mounts - ETA 5/10
BMR Differential Bushings - ETA 5/11
Ford Performance Toe Bushing - ETA 5/10

It will be nice to put the car back together. It's a shame seeing the subframe and diff just sitting there.

 

[turnswrench]

Opinion time. Yes, your opinion.

If I have full replacement delrin cradle bushings and full replacement aluminum differential bushings, do I need Steeda IRS subframe support braces 555-5754 and the Steeda hardcore diff bracket 555-4050?

Open to thoughts. I'd rather not have the unnecessary weight and would like to recoup some costs if truly no benefits.

Heading out to Chicago to drink at the Battle of the Breweries VIP Experience this weekend. Looking forward to it. Here's some car updates.

Swapped in the Ford Performance Toe Bushings:

The BMR rear shock mounts came but they are missing hardware Waiting on a response from BMR. Here's a pic of them mocked up:

Update on parts:

BMR Drag Springs - ETA 5/13
BMR Differential Bushings - ETA 5/11 *EDIT: Delayed to 5/13
BMR Adjustable Toe Arms - ETA 5/14
BMR Delrin Camber Arms - ETA 5/14
BMR Camber Lockout - ETA 5/14
BMR SP089r Minimum Drop Front Springs - ETA Unknown (got these to be able to swap in and out as needed to set suspension without waiting)

Asked Terry for a quote on the following:

Procharger GT350 cold side charge pipe
Procharger IC MAF blockoff plate and hardware
Procharger HO to Stage 2 Conversion Kit: This would include an 8 rib 3.70 pulley to net over 800whp
ATI Balancer

Want to thank @Chris Barnes for doing me a solid and passing along his knowledge and being supportive. @whatsup62 also did me a solid and sent me some parts lists today. Thank you both!

Still open to thoughts, but seriously considering selling the Steeda stuff I mentioned above. Might keep the diff bracket.

Man you are doing a ton of work on that thing! Can't wait to see it done, well I guess it's never done. Lol
moving the maf to the pipe?

Yeah, I talked with PBD today and they said they highly recommend it for driveability. Going to give it a go.

Watching closely now to see how it works. I have thought this route myself. Seems it would be a clearer signal.

Must be a case by case thing, no issues here.

You know what time it is... another update.

BK050 and BK048 are here and installed:

I decided to put in the Steeda diff bracket:

The BMR Springs came in today, again I got two diff front spring options to get the best setup:

Additional updates:

BMR Adjustable Toe Arms - ETA 5/14
BMR Delrin Camber Arms - ETA 5/14
BMR Camber Lockout - ETA 5/14

I haven't heard back from Beefcake on the quote I requested. Maybe within the next couple days. I did hear from BMR about my missing hardware for the rear shock mounts, they don't have any manufactured. No ETA on when that will be done. It's pretty disappointing...

Subframe should be going back in tmrw after I drill the holes for the camber lockout kit.
