So Chris came by on thursday and we spent a few hours putting my engine all back together and doing the timing! We started the car, the only thing that is left to do is to check the base timing and to fill up the coolant. It was so nice hearing my car starting up again and it had been last then two weeks, I don't know how you guys doing big builds go so long without hearing your cars!

Yeah definitely is a great feeling!!
That's sick!! LOL, that was like when my fuse for my radio was bad but I didn't spot it so I bought a new fuse box.
I will schedule something at trinity in the next few weeks, then we can figure out time and day.

So I took the car for a drive this weekend, which was very exciting!!
I had a minor freak out though, when we first started the car Chris had said "What is that ticking noise!?" I guess I was too excited to notice it so I said don't worry about it. Started the car on Saturday to fill up the coolant and could now hear what Chris was talking about, after freaking out for a while I figured out that it was just lifter tick and that after the lifters fill with oil that it would no longer make that noise (Thanks Lucian for the enlightenment). Anyways, the ticking is gone now and the car is holding vacuum wonderfully at around 20 hg, the old head would only let me get around 10ish.
The engine stand that Canadian tire sells is on sale this week so I am going to pick that up and might start tearing into the engine that Eric dropped off (from Adam).

here is a good comparison shot: because of that angle it puts pressure on the flex pipe as well as cause the exhaust to hit the transfer case. So if you are running a FWD I assume you would be ok.

Ziggy has them. I got it from a member though, I also got the filter from a member, then the coupler came from Ziggy.

Thanks for that letting me know! I will have to adjust to 37 psi, and I think I will wait for link so I can just have it turn on the fuel pump and do it that way.

Yeah Lucian, I started watching the link instruction videos so I can learn how to do stuff. It's definitely going to be a good drive today!!

So Lucian came over last night and we got a ton of work done, 16g is on. I would also like to thank Chris, that is his sawzall. The only thing that is left is to put the FMIC on and get the bumper back on. I was pretty frustrated last night though because the j pipe I got from jay was passenger side facing and the one you need for a 1g is driver side facing, so I have emailed Ziggy so I can get that ordered so that I can finish up on Monday.

Yeah Jason, I am however dreading the fuel pump change after hearing all the horror stories.
Alex, I don't know what I would do without it. My car would definitely be less upgraded than it is now that is for sure!

Alex, I don't know what I would do without it. My car would definitely be less upgraded than it is now that is for sure! Soak the sh!t out of the area. Both the nuts holding the sending unit in AND the fitting from the sending unit to the flexible fuel hose. I managed to get my sending unit out with 4/6 studs intact, but the hard neck on the sender cracked through and the hardline under the car broke, so I am now running a full S/S -6AN setup from sending unit to rail (and -8AN from rail to AFPR). It's actually not that pricey to do, but it's a whole lot better when you plan to do it instead of being left 'stranded' because it broke. Summary: 1) Soak the sh!t out of everything with some sort of PB Blaster/Penetrant/etc. 2) Be fully aware and prepared for the fact that stuff is likely to break. (Hopefully it doesn't though).

So it was my hope that I would come on here tonight and tell everyone how great the new turbo is and how nice the FMIC is, unfortunately after putting everything on (my god was getting the j pipe on a pain in the ass) I did a boost leak test and found a huge boost leak coming through the bolt hole on the j pipe, I have added some rtv and will re-tighten tomorrow and see what the results are. Here is a picture of the bumper mounted over the FMIC, thank you to chris for lending me the tools I needed to do some cutting and for coming over today and cutting the bumper to fit.

So I planned to go for a ride today but I had a nice boost leak where the flange for the BOV meets the tube that was welded to the tubing, turns out it had been cross thread, both me and my buddy wrestled with it for a while and then got inovative and put it between two mail boxes to twist it off, the piece twisted off an took some threads with it too, the piece is now going to have to be welded on cause I have no way of salvaging the threads. I don't have pictures now, I will take some tomorrow before and after the work is done.

Not yet, Chris just finished cutting the support on tuesday and I wanted to finish the boost leak test before I put it all back on.

So I went for a drive yesterday after putting everything back on, the car felt nice until I started getting into boost and around 4k it started bucking like a bronco. I checked me settings and it looks good on the MAFT but I am not sure what to do next. Lucian had said put the stock maf back on so I am going to try and do that.

I have mad PK so not sure that is it. Plus I watched my IDC and it only went up to maybe 50% so that can't be it. Stock MAF is back on the car so we will see how that goes. Link showed up yesterday anyways and I will be installing that on monday so SD should be in there in the next few weeks. Thought everyone might want to see the mess that is my current setup.

Setting up the recirc with the intake I have actually isn't to bad, once SD is in I will be putting on the shinny intake with the recirc and be good to go. Supposedly there is no difference in performance so I think I am good with silence instead of psh everytime I shift. Although when I first got into turbo cars I loved that sound. If I upgrade to a 4" intake than I will go non-recirc.

all the stuff I needed for making my boost leak tester was made from stuff in the home hardware plumbing section.

So for the past year and a half I have had numerous people ask me what the original paint colour off my car was. I told everyone that it was this nice blue, mainly because it was the colour of my engine bay and it looked like it was well done. Well I went to put a sticker in the engine bay yesterday and the below happen, I would say it looks really cool and I now believe the original colour of my car was red.
