Ive been there a few times from Iwakuni when I used to be out there...unfortunately for a medevac when I crushed my leg in a cart racing accident

**mrmephistopheles** · 12-24-2004, 06:49 PM

d'oh! USNH Yokosuka isn't too bad. We've only had to go there once.

ss045 · 12-24-2004, 10:35 PM

Hows USNH Yoko now? See that floormat in front of the quarterdeck? I designed that.

Anyways, I'll be going back there for next summer to find a GS job. Nice score on the Christmas present btw.

BoaConChicken · 12-25-2004, 10:32 AM

i lived in Yokosuka when i was like three years old.

boro240 · 12-26-2004, 04:19 AM

Ive been to Yokosuka (I stayed on base too), its pretty nice.

Ian · 12-26-2004, 04:38 AM

a kid that was in my english class the year before me wrote an essay about Yokosuka..it was good and the teacher used it as a sample for us...neato, i had never heard of yokosuka before

rupertaker1 · 12-26-2004, 10:07 AM

I had to do the "walk of Shame" yesterday. This is what I call when you can't finish what you were doing to your car at the hobby shop before they close, and they kick you out. I will have to return today when they open.....I didnt take into consideration the time it would take to do this..PITA factor for me was pretty high..My Question is this:
This "EGR Unit" or whatever it is called could not fit anymore with my new Manifold...

So, I will not reinstall the unit...Since I do not have a plug for the EGR tube at the bottom on the J pipe, for now I just cut it, and rolled it a couple times to seal it...< I will go and find a plug for the Jpipe, but for now I will just leave it like this:

Also had to get rid of the stock catch can, so on my way back to the hobby shop I will hit a few stores and see if I can find a cheap one..if not, I can use a mountain dew can for a temporary fix..also didnt plan well for the install, the water lines were the biggest PITA, I almost just decided to route them together and bypass the turbine..but changed my mind...with the removal of the EGR ir IAV unit on the crankcase and the Stock catch can, and intake breather box I will have to tie up some lose ends as well...I wish I had money for a new Turbo as well while I had all of this apart..anyway here is a PIC of what it looked like when I had to leave the hobby shop:

**mrmephistopheles** · 12-26-2004, 05:24 PM

looking good... I've had to do that Walk of Shame a time or two myself.
I still need to get myself a fatty blacktop 02 sensor so's I can install my Megan outlet... and HKS DP and Dart Izumi WR exhaust.

nice. I wonder if it's the same as mine...

ruthlesstyper · 12-26-2004, 11:06 PM

man ur lucky that ur wide gets u car parts. =] u can buy a plug for the aiv at heavythrottle.com

G_Fish240 · 12-27-2004, 01:53 AM

Another oki bum, thats cool

I was at Kadena for a while. You know whats fun, getting a van for free that was once owned by a officer and going on foster and having all those devil dogs stop and salute while they walk around while you drive beacuse of an O sticker. haha

kuramaya · 12-27-2004, 03:17 AM

Allright, well install is complete! This was a PITA for sure..and I usually work on peoples cars for free or beer and pizza, but to do this, I think I would have to charge..as far as the IAV or what I was confused and just calling an EGR, I had to do a few plugging of holes and the such...With the removal of the IAV and unit that was on the motor, besides the tube in the Jpipe I had to cut and bend, the whole system left me with 2 open holes in the Crankcase cover, an open hole in the intake, and an open hole in the block where the the stock catch dumped to..the stock catch can had to go for room and the IAV as well...One of the good things about being in Japan is I do not need the internet to get quality parts fast, I went down the block and picked up a CUSCO Oil Catch can:

With this, I ran a line around the front of the motor to one of the holes in the valve cover and the other hole I capped. For the hole in the Intake that used to go to the IAV, I just capped that one, here are a couple of pics:

Since this thing is so fricken hot, I had to high temp wrap the Hot Pipes rubber parts that are near the manifold..I still have a couple of spots to heat wrap, I will do that later..here is a final PIC of all installed:
