Either of you guys know Jon Fitzsimmons? He's another FD guy but he's in Omaha at Offut now (he's a navigator on a cargo plane IIRC). Just sold his well sorted one actually.

I might know Michael Jose. The last name sounds familiar at least. I was at Nellis 97-00 but I think I might have been deployed with him.

Fitzsimmons I don't recognize.

Yea he also was at PSAB around that time too. Short bald filipino guy from Hawaii. He hung out with a guy named Thomas Williams (drove a S13 i think at the time, also from Hawaii).

Anyone know if anyone in town stocks -10 aeroquip socketless hose? PN# AER-FBN1000 I need to re-do my oil cooler lines and mount the oil thermostat in a different spot.


Did an initial mock up last night, needs a little work but overall I'm happy.

so....ah, can I get a ride? If you need help tuning, or just need someone to hold the computer while you make adjustments, let me know.

I'm not sure who might stock that line. A couple years ago I'd say go to American Speed Center but Gary passed away and his family sold off everything. And that's not saying he'd have it either lol.

SWEET! I need a ride too. I want to see the difference between your turbo and mine. Come to think of it, have you even ridden in mine? lol

haha no I haven't been in yours yet eric.
Yeah I wouldn't mind some help tuning. I'm only going to go up to like 14ish psi until I can get a new motor together. I don't think its a good idea pushing this 10 year old 70k+ mile motor too hard. Don't need to be destroying this new turbo by sending apex seals through it.

List of things to do:
Repair oil cooler or buy another one
Run new oil cooler lines
extend radiator fan wires
RE-Medy water pump
new alternator or high output alt
pineapple idler pulley
install turbo when it gets here
fab intake and cooling ducting

Great, We can do a big ride swap when everyone's cars are ready. Cause I don't think either of you have ridden in mine either.
