Re: My Winter Upgrades

Well got a little bit done today. It doesn't seem like there's that much to do, but god when you stare at the car it seems like it'll never be done.

Today I went up to TNT and bought 2 FAL 10" fans (had 1 in stock, other 1 will be here friday). I will be running those as pullers (it's all I have room for), and will have my old cheap 10" from Checker as a pusher. I think I did good today though. I removed the cheap Checker puller 10", and I noticed something. They come from Checker with the blades setup to be a pusher. I thought for sure I had them running as pullers, but the blades are setup for pushers. So this could explain my whole running hot on the freeway issue I've been battling. Yaay! Anyhow, got the 1 FAL puller installed on the passenger side and wired up. Got the 10" pusher mounted but not wired up yet. Will finish the fans up on Friday when I get the other FAL.

I got the T3 gasket installed on the turbo. I do miss how easy it was to take off the turbo bolts on a 2G manifold. It's not so easy getting an Allen Wrench on these bolts. Also hooked up the oil feed line.

I still have a lot to do though.
