Mod Free, Mod Hard!

Just to give a current status of the car. I put 3 quarts of 5W30 oil in today. Then started working on the coolant return for the turbo. But I am EXTREMELY close to trying to turn the motor over. But since the GT30 has the compressor housing located differently I have to get a coupler for my hotpipe. So I am waiting for Crossover Auto to ship them out to me and I have to return 4 T-bolts to him. On the bag they say 2.75-3.25" T-bolts. But they wont fit over my 3" Coupler. So gotta return them for the one size bigger. And somehow I broke a T-bolt on my cold pipe. So ordering one of them aswell. I also (once I get my paycheck) have to get a coolant overflow tank since the stock one looks like trash.

Awesome idea for a thread !!

Hmmm...missing a set of CF Door Handle surrounds since when I sold that E-Brake surround piece I decided to keep these and not let them go...also, APC CF knob...uh...why not an AutoExe...got both if you are interested...looks like it will be a good build though...also have the CF Dash pieces...

if ur wanting the roll bar crossover sales u should pic up lowpsi's its a fraction of the cost and its the same bar.

You should! It's been a month since you seen it. It's in the lower garage now

i forget the proper way to get oil flow in a brand new turbo, but be sure to check that out before cranking the engine.
i think its disconnect fuel pump relay and spark leads... crank several times, reconnect.

great thread, just remember, PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!!

Great stuff man! I'm really looking forward to all of this!

What I'll be doing is unclip the wires going to the coils packs and cranking it for two min. and hopping for the best lol

Just make sure you bring something to put out a fire LOL!

make sure when u crank the ignition to push ur gas pedal all the way to the floor. for real no joke, i forgot what exactly it doesn but it keeps fuel from being primed into the motor. i wish i remember exactly what happens but im having a brain fart.

just take out the relay for the injectors, if you dont you'll be shooting fuel in the cylinder and washing the oil off the walls
you dont have to mess with the coil packs

the method i said is just as effective and only a tad bit easier but easier nun the less.

I just got my paycheck

Hm... Gotta pay off some of my credit card (bought turbo with it)

But winter is here. So is Xmas, not much part wise I can buy
