Myxalplyx Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 OMG! My *&%$ eyes hurt! Cool intercooler setup. What do you have elevated around that intercooler to help direct air flow? I can't make out what it is. I don't see many Starion intercoolers used. Any more info on your homemade boost controller? Send me a PM with your IM (AOL, Yahoo, etc) so I can send you these pics smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_styles Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 looking good!! thoose late 80's 4dr RX's are pretty rare... pics a liltle giant though:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88rxsedan Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 my computer is so jacked up, i need to redo the pics and get better ones the boost controller can be made at home depot, its a bleed time with a ball and spring control (works off spring tension) the intercooler is welded to the factory spare tire holder (with heat sheild) the air shroud is a foam mold wrapped in black tape, so i can make one from fiber when i get more money with the rwd its more fun to drive than my 300zx, quick as snot.. now to work on the pictures, ill do it now if the comp will let me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 neato. now you need to work on brakes, tires, and suspension...and you are set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88rxsedan Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 i know, stupid economy tires and steelies.. the suspension is fine for me, i like the cushy ride it has, and knowing i can still run over stuff if i want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Looks good! I like the 4 door RX's but yea those are hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 the boost controller can be made at home depot, its a bleed time with a ball and spring control (works off spring tension) Thanks for the info! I know this is asking a lot but I need to know. When (not if) I go to Home Depot, what am I to ask the people helping me what I'm looking for? Do I simply say, "Excuse me but do you know where I can find a bleed time with a ball and spring control, that works off a spring tension?" Would they know what I'm talking about? A lot of people here are backyard mechanics and electrical whizzes. You have to talk to me like a 6 year old with details. I'm interested and if I get the parts right, I'll post part#s and pics to the other '6yr olds' can make exactly the same thing as you did. Thanks! And again, nice ride. And I agree with you about the suspension. I love the way it rides. Feels just right to me. I'd like wider tires on it but other than that, it's cool with me.

Vanislru Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 if you do a search with Home Depot and boost controllers you should find it, I can't remember when but there was a thread on it way back, maybe back on the old board? It grabbed my attention when I read it and every time I go to Home Depot I think maybe I should look for that thread, I think the one guy had some good adjustment levels using a ballpoint pen spring. If I can figure out how to post links I will. Looks like Caleb found it while i was typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Oh, I see now. It's not as simple as just screwing things together. You have to cut with a hacksaw and do some drilling. Ok...thanks! BTW: I went to Ebay after reading the reply and puchase one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7944163895&rd=1 I just figured I'd get it over with. So this part is done. Thanks guys! Continue on with the post/pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
