Also you should check the turbo for play because if you have tons of play and the shaft gets scratched up really bad then the core is worthless

i had to cut one of my crappy 7/8 wrenches so i could fit it on the o2 sensor, i couldn't believe how tight it was. but a proper wrench would be way smarter

KMO43

I took off the O2 housing then off the car I took off the sensor

I'll be sure to take a look at everything when I get back home In may. I got someone looking after her and keeping her running.

Couldn't hold out anymore. Just got a hell of a deal on the Powell pcv system and a used zfr. Should be arriving this weekend. Got someone coming to verify that the turbo is good and I'll be installing the month prior to me leaving to go back to the states. Hopefully everything checks out good! Paid through PayPal so all is safe.

nathan112i

good for you waka! at least you know the zfr is tried and true and pcv system will keep your car happy

I wanted to
Get the zfr from the begin inning when I first got my car. In fact my car is perfectly set up for it. I just couldn't justify the price they were asking. However when this deal came up for both I had to jump on it! Couldn't beat the price!

Off topic a little but, if not going with a direct bolt on turbo like the zfr and instead going with something like a s256et, what extra is needed? Just a bov? It still fits in the same spot right?

KMO43

no it's a kit that is needed. Manifold, BOV, DP, coldpipe with maf rel, hotpipe, intake

damn no wonder so many people go with the zfr lol, a little back on topic, any dyno vid for the r?

lol asked a shop thats working on my friends subie to quote me for the turbo swap to the k04r and he said about $700usd
is that what im looking at? seems high

KMO43

It's quoted at 4-6 hours so shop rate times that

widowedeight

i dunno about performance shops, but 700 in labor is about 12 hrs worth of labor IMO for average shops, hell i know restoration shops that only charge 70 an hour, i would say a decent price for an install should be around 450, just my opinion tho (i work at a body shop, with a mechanical shop)

tuned08ss

Most shops charge 90+ an hour for labor.

dearbryant

yeah i was actually thinking of a price in that area.

They should really make a do it yourself instruction booklet lol

KMO43

I don't think it's hard to do if you have the common hand tools and if you're a newb a solid weekend should get the job done

dearbryant

i think you just convinced me to do it myself.
I have alot of tools in my garage

Just use the guide that someone made for the zfr install. Honestly a simple thing. I had basic knowledge and it took me an evening and then the next day. Would've been shorter if it wasn't for beer breaks, food, and what not though.

dearbryant

Just looked up the installation guide for the ZFR on here and it looks pretty simple plus my turbo wont be as huge as the ZFR
