Catch up post: Finally, after 3 years, I got the engine back in 2 days ago. Yesterday I finished installing my Snow Performance Water/Meth kit and installing my prettied rear diff cover with the new AO Customs precut silicone gaskets I ordered...
Still on the hunt for a 2ga engine harness. Is there anyone who builds/repairs harnesses? I know ohms racing makes some sweet harnesses but it's at a cost of course. May be worth while to leave it up to them though because I just don't have the...
This. :)Woot! Also discovered that one of the two short tcase bolt holes is stripped clean. So it’s just gonna have to survive on 4 tcase bolts because there’s no way I’m dropping it just to send the trans out to get a thread repaired. I...
I FINALLY ASSEMBLED MY ENGINE, tack welded the timing belt metal cover plates that had split apart, painted them matte black to match the VR4 black cover, installed the new dimpled/slotted EBC rear Rotors, reinstalled the calipers, and had many...
"STACKED" Storage for small cars! :)
That Impala SS weighs about 4800 lbs but she is sitting on the locks of the lift. :thumb:
We had golf ball size hail all around our area and a couple tornadoes for kicks and giggles :oops:These poor cars...
My first post in many years. Was a nice day so I drove the old gsx to the hardware store to fix shoddy repairs on the evo 8. Got a couple new rattles and the dash trim has a few more cracks but the thing still runs great.
Worked on interior, plumbed up the bay for wiring , and catch can. hooked up sensors in bay getting ready to finish up master cylider for the clutch soon.. Stripping valve cover for repaint, order 2k clear for stuff, and brembo decals.
Located and pulled the OEM ECU that was running everything else while the Microtech took care of fuel and ignition. This wiring is worse and worse the deeper I get. Anyone got a 2ga engine harness? Haha
Eight years after buying the big boy IWG EFR turbo, and three years after getting the hot parts kit from Morrison Fab to make it work. I’ve picked up a low-profile wastegate actuator to tuck the canister as much as possible. It’s probably not...
Got the CAS on with the weirdly long studs. May hold off on the exhaust manifold just for clearance when putting the engine back in.
Also does anyone have the studs and nuts for the 1g thermostat housing? I've got washers
Well I'll be darn @19Eclipse90 you hit the nail on the head with that one (the bolt was JUST barely at 3/8. If i moved it ever so slightly it would read 3/8 but just wasnt quite there so could be device error). Now I just need to source some...
I started tearing the engine down to take the head to machine shop, do all timing related stuff, install 20g, 2g exhaust manifold (still have to port and polish it), install 1200cc injectors and hopefully get the DSMLink set up and tune the car.
I'll pull the measurements against SAE metrics and see what I get. I should have thought to do that with all the mismatched madness I've seen on the car already. I wouldn't be surprised if they are SAE
