get some dry ice and crush it up and put it all over the tar. let it sit and get real cold, then you can just scrape it off and it will look better and ditch the weight.

thanks for the idea, considering that tar on the floor where the rear seats were is a nightmare to remove. do you know where i can get it locally?
i think its for sale somewhere at UB
I’m gonna have to look into it. that shit has gotta go so i can finish painting the interior flat black.
(by painting the interior i don’t mean ricer paint, painting all the metal stuff flat black.)
werd, its one of the science dept.s that sells it. uhh, i bet someone on here knows how to get it
sounds cool man gl with everything hope to see it out next season

Thanks a ton!
hope to see you out with a new car as well :tup:
Some pics of the stuff that arrived last night, not much is different from the first few pics, but these are in my posession. also the bov didn’t come with the kit.
1G DSM BOV I picked up from Mr.Burch.
the turbo was actually bigger than i thought it was, still opting for larger asap. hopefully this wont ever see use on the car. just gonna sell it and put the money towards the hx-35.
This is getting checked over and re welded asap. if matt ever gets back to me…
I will have some pics of the car its self tomorrow as long as its not as shitty and windy as it was today.
oh and yes i know i suck at picture taking and my camera is a horrible 30 dollar camera. i’d rather spend the money on car parts than a better camera to take pics of said parts.
is the bov modded to hold higher than 18psi of boost (not crushed though)?
what kind pressures are you planning on running?

i was told it will hold up to 25psi without being crushed, 35 crushed. i don’t think i’d go much over 20 if that high.

You should be able to get dry ice at any science or hobby store.

do not crush it. it creates compressor surge. bad idea.
mod it per here. DDG- Talon BOV mod for HIGH BOOST
holds unlimited boost. doesnt surge unless its letting off 2psi of boost and that can be fixed with a little creative vacuum solenoid plumbing and a WOT switch.
Brian
wow thats awesome!
thanks! 
no prob. a buddy of mine took a block of aluminum and milled/drilled and tapped it so he could bolt on 2 bolt flange bov’s like dsm valves and hook it up to an air compressor and test to see when and if they leak. he blew the hose off the vaccum port at 50psi and the valve wasnt leaking.
i know some guys that have large enough turbos that the DSM valve cant vent enough air… they just run 2 in parallel and stick with them cause they work so well for so little money.

That’s extremely impressive.
and on the last part, I was thinking of going with a nice bov, then i realized why spend 200, when i can get a dsm bov for 20 and it’ll work just as good.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. you really know your stuff!
oh and $6,000 worth of snap-on goodies just arrived in a semi truck.
oh and thats at 60% off normal price 
so i got even more than most people would for the money. i’ll post pics of the tools and the car when i get back from lunch.
The mod reliant linked you is the one I told you to do…lol Its not necessary. Most people that say this bov leaks are doing the boost leak test wrong, ie. not running the positive pressure to the bov vacuum nipple. Like I told ya don’t even worry about this mod just get it together.
Good to hear you got the snap-on tools, I’m waiting for pics of the toolbox and such…
I was just looking at 666fabrications site and there is alot of stuff you and john donovan should get from them… hehe.
lol thanks gary. I was looking at the 666fab stuff originally but it didn’t make too much sense to buy that until i was sure i liked the car. if i do like it when its all said and done i’m gonna go to a 666fab manifold with the t4 flange and run a 35r on a rebuilt bottom end with less miles.
as for the tools, i have pics of them all over my floor. i got my garage set up today and everything a little bit organized so i can take pics of the whole thing tomorrow, including the box.
pics of the tools will come in 15 min or so…
Thanks again for the good words and help

yeah he definitely wont need the mod at first. ive seen them leak anywhere from 18-22 psi.

Got some updates…
Everything is in and settled in the new garage. we got the car up on jackstands and finished pulling the head. Pulling the head was super shitty because we pulled both the head and the intake manifold off as 1 piece. took us about 2 hours to get everything out of the way. we’re gonna need to replace some hoses as they were so dry rotted and disgusting inside.
once the head was off we ended up cutting the exhaust off with a hack saw LOL.
After we pulled the head we discovered that the head gasket was OBVIOUSLY blown:
and when i drained the oil it was basically clear-green because there was so much antifreeze in it. when we drained the radiator there was also a decent amount of oil in there too…
after we got the head off and out of the way we started to clean up the engine bay a bit with some degreaser. in the process we pulled out the AC to lose some weight, and it also most likely didn’t work anyways.
for how little time we spent in the garage and how cold it was in there we got a good chunk of work done.
oh…and my new toys also helped make the job easier 
thats a terrible pic of the box, my camera batteries died before i could take a better one. I will have more pics and updates tomorrow
