Turbo Project: Progress Post

[RawBurt]

That is a turbo kit uninstall to reinstall with bigger goodies, but still. That was the first days work. And NOTHING was labeled.

I wouldn't expect anything less from stazi. He knows his stuff a little, actually ALOT, better then I do.

Alot of you guys are talking trash because I'm trying to stay organized and successfully get through this, what does it matter how long I take, its a learning experience so give me a break. Its funny, you guys used to rip on me because I would take my car to stazi to get work done. Now I'm doing it myself and I'm still getting ripped on... needs more logic, lol.

That would be cool for sure. My kit ships out tomorrow, so I dont know if it'll be here this weekend or not, but I'll still be working away on it. LMK

 

[SVT SNOB]

Sounds good to me. My 3L will be getting lots of mileage this weekend .

Just kidding dude

You're just easy to rip on no matter what. :laugh:

Moreover our reason for the rip is that the intake manifold bolts are labeled and in order. Those are by far the most recognizable bolts in your engine bay. lol

wish i was getting the first kit :blackeye:

but that just means his is going to be the first to blow :laugh:

 

[RawBurt]

Didn't do much today. I had to go to court, so wasn't very motivated afterwards. Did finish up the UIM, TB and MAF though. They came out nice.

You can't really see the true color, but it looks good (gunmetal/ charcoal).

And for the people giving me a hard time. I like to stay organized, this way i dont misplace or mix up anything.

Tomorrow. Start disassembling exhaust to get to oil pan.

 

[TheMexicanJob]

i just use pieces of cardboard and stick the bolt through and label accordingly.

 

[Beans]

I like the UIM color!

 

[Pudmunkie]

That markers gonna rub off the duct tape... Needs more masking tape.

 

[RawBurt]

Out of masking tape, next best :blackeye:

 

[Pudmunkie]

Pick up some masking tape before you move those parts around too much

Tomorrow. Start disassembling exhaust to get to oil pan.

Don't tap the oil pan for the return line. Tap the actual block right where the oil drain back gallery is. This puts the drain point higher than the pan and actually allows the oil to drain versus pooling up with the rest of the oil in the pan.
