My Newest project....

Perkul8r · 03-18-2013

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.

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.

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.

Also got the water pipe installed, water pump on. And the new oem dipstick tube and dipstick.

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