ok 1) I had removed the rear calipers and master cylinder and all the brake parts under the hood while i had it painted and swapped in the new rear end. I connected everything back up and filled the res with new fluid, opened the rear bleeder valve and proceeded to bleed it and i pumped on the pedal, it had pressure but it didn't bleed anything, the fluid stayed at the same level. Whats going on here? is there some other valve for the rear brakes im missing here or what?



2) the differential fluid for the LSD is 90 weight right?



3)Im gonna clean up my cpu wiring by taking apart the wiring harness and sorting out the stuff i don't need, what wires/connections will i need to keep that are not plugged in?



4) how many An- 90/45 degree angle fittings did u guys use on your fuel system?



5) where can i purchase those huge universal intakes that i see on eveyones turbos here, and what size will i need for a stock s5/s4 turbos.



6) thxs for your anwsers in advanced!





2nd gen section has no flow, besides eveyone who knows stuff hides out in here.

1. When bleeding your brakes did you bleed all 4? Did you keep the pedal pressed down when you opened the port? No there is no other bleed prot. Each brake has 1 though.

2.Yes

3.All of the test ports(green or yellow connector on end). Not sure what others you would need to keep.

4.Not sure. Haven't done mine in SS yet.

5.At pepboys or any other local parts store. Since you have an s4 you will need the adapter though. I belive it goes for about $20 at rx7.com. As for the cone filter I suggest a K&N or APC. It doesn't really make much difference, just make sure the side that attaches to your Air Flow Meter has atleast a 3 inch opening on it. Also you will need to fabricate some sort of support brachet for your AFM. You can get a piece of medal( the one with holes in it makes it easier) from Lowes or Home Depot and cut and bend it to the correct deminsions that you need.

Sorry about that I didn't read enough. I see you have the RB sway bars and links, how are they? Do you need the links or can you just use the stock ones? Do you have their springs also? If so how are they? Thanks.

I still don't have a motor yet so i don't know how the Rb sway/links are. U can use the stock links. I plan on getting some coilovers once i get the engine paid for though. so no i have the stock springs for now. yeah i noticed the 2nd gen part lol.
