My Newest project....

[goodhart]

Nice. I have to do the same thing soon.

[Perkul8r]

Well. I got bored and went over to my buddys garage. Not really much else to do with a snow storm happening. lol

It dont look like much, but I got the new engine bay harness routed and secured. Was gonna do more but started getting a nasty headache. Hopefully I will be able to get the engine hoist back this week too so I can get the motor and trans in and really start to get to work.

So I was able to get some more work done tonight.

I got the flywheel and clutch on. Than installed the trans after adding an OEM throwout bearing. Hopefully with that I wont have any clutch issues.

I than started to do the coolant lines on the turbo, but I gotta redo those after seeing some other peoples threads on down firing turbos. I went up and over the top of the housing with both. It may work. But I wont know till I get it all mounted up.

Back to work again tonight.......

At lunch today I went and grabbed the engine hoist so i at least had a chance to get the engine in. Well....I did. Was kinda a pain in the ass due to it was just me there. But I got it.

Than I started doing everything I can while the head and other accessories are off. Battery tray, wiring, starter, and some other things.

Now tomorrow I will start getting more on. Biggest thing will be installing new headstuds and doing the torque procedure on those.

[Perkul8r]

Well. Went and did some work to the car tonight. Got the intake onto the head. Than installed the Head studs on the block. Than installed the head.

Also got the EVO 560's installed. And made up my fuel feed line. A little progress. But slowly getting there.

Tomorrow I gotta get some small things, than will be doing the timing belt kit on it. And hopefully will get the front of the motor together.

[Perkul8r]

Well....I wasn't able to get as far as I wanted to today. I had the kids with me, and couldn't really concentrate on setting the timing and keeping them from destroying the garage at the same time. lol. So i continued to do some little things.

Got the thermostat in, and ran the heater hoses. Also ran the engine harness. Found out I need a knock sensor connector and both the coolant temp connectors.

Hopefully I can get over there tonight to get the timing set.

Nice progress man

[Perkul8r]

Well. Went over to the garage tonight to help on my buddy's Accord F20 swap. But ended up working on my car instead. lol

So i started off by getting all the timing stuff done. Got the OEM pulleys, tensoner, and belt on. Than put the front together as much as i could.

Than I started to get bored. lol. So I installed my AFPR setup. Hardest part was trying to figure out where to put it. But It works where I got it at.

Than I started mocking up the turbo so I could get coolant and oil lines sorted out.

Thats pretty much where I stopped tonight. Tomorrow I am hoping to get alot of the little things taken care of till my Throttle body shows up.

Nice progress man. The engine is so clean, but yet the bay is so dusty and dirty! Should pressure washed the bay while the engine was out! haha

I wanted to, but couldn't cause I had no way to trailer it to the shop I work at, and nobody had a pressure washer I could borrow/ rent. I will get the engine bay cleaned up good when I get it running though. It bugs me to much not to. lol
