Hotrodkid, you suck lol.
Intake is dropped off and city bag brackets have been received. Unless Alex thinks I have other items, I beleive this is done.
Well then wheres the burn outs?
This is a build thread, not a drama thread… so no… it’s not done.
Your an idiot. you mentioned drama but were still incapable of realizing thats what i was actually talking about.
YOU’RE. YOU. FUCKING. ARE.
[sarcasm] You’re right, I am an idiot. I had no idea you were mentioning your fggt bullshit drama. My bad! [/sarcasm]
Notice my use of you’re and your. Science.
All this drama
Can you just finish the fucking swap so it can under perform and you can swap a LSx in…
Did we regress back to High school or something? Because this thread lately reads like something out of Mean Girls and Confessions of a High School Drama Queen.
ALL HAIL THE LSX!
a small update for the 2 or 3 people that care.
Intake spacers will be arriving wed
Finished all of the exhaust up yesterday
coil pack mounted
oil catch can mounted
turbo bracket modified so alternator will fit
drawings sent off for alternator bracket to be cut
removed engine so I can pull oil pan and weld oil drain for turbo. After oil drain is welded the oil pan will be sealed for the last time and the engine will go in for the final time!
total time to pull the engine from fully assembled car is 1.5 hours
Once the engine goes back in there is not much left to do. Brake lines fuel lines, buton up wiring disaster, make trip to ferry to have oil lines made for power steering, install windshield. Then I will find out if my told turbo SHO engine will live again after the fiasco with napa.
woot woot I wanna see burn outs
You should probably implement some sort of time table the world is running out of crude oil.
That’s not what I’d call “not much left to do…”
But good luck.
I guess you are right but if we were going hard at this (which we are not) it could be done in a couple weeks.
still really wanna see this done…
You know its a long build when the first post was “picked my car up from PMP” lol… get it done! :tup:
I got a fitting from ferry on walden, and I have to say that I am always impressed with their service. I brought them a pretty obscure setup that will replace the factory oil level sensor and they actually had it. Thumbs up to them as always. I went into the shop excited to test the new fitting and of course it fit like a glove. The hose is really close to the starter but does not rub so I got lucky that it happened to fit. I was going to drill, tap, and braze a fitting into the oil pan for the oil return from the turbo but this works out really well since I have no provisions to use the factory low oil level sensor. pulled the oil pan and realized I am missing 1 of the 2 oil pan gaskets. I tore the garage apart and I can’t find the other half anywhere. I am so pissed at myself for not looking for it last weekend and ordering it. In the process of looking for it I realized that I can’t find my valve cover gaskets either. I call autozone and even with the commercial account is it 96 bucks for the valve cover gasket and 21 for the oil pan. Rock auto has the valve cover gaskets for 69 shipped and the oil pan gasket I got locally but it will not be here till wed. I am pretty bummed about loosing another weekend of working on it. My plan for the day was to get every part available bolted onto the car today and see where I am at.
Also my 1/2" intake spacers came in this week too so the injectors/fuel rail can be installed. This also means the intake, valve covers, oil pan, all turbo and all exhaust pipe, all intake pluming, intercooler, radiator, radiator hoses, catch can, coil pack, plug wires, and engine harness can all be installed for the last time. This was my plan for this weekend and it is all foiled because of a 3" piece of rubber went missing. Since the engine has to be pulled to service the oil pan this really fucks me. I thought about using RTV but I would never forgive myself if it ended up leaking and something happened to the engine. hopefully I can bang the install out on wed or thurs. I should be picking up the fuel pump this week so i can run the lines for that too.
Can’t wait to see this done!
Got the oil pan gaskets (special order) in yesterday so I started putting things back together. Got the oil pan on and properly sealed up. Installed oil drain fitting from ferry. Installed engine and up pipe, then the turbo, then the downpipe. Then since I forgot to move the steering shaft from the rack to the outside of the driver exhaust manifold it all came back out and I unbolted the manifold on the driver side to correct that. Then I reassembled the up pipe and turbo. Then I realized the radiator will not fit if the turbo bracket is installed so I took that back off so i could install the radiator. More to come tomorrow. My back is killing me so I am done for the day.
