im pretty sure thats tightened down with a gasket, but ill double check

for the boost gauge, i tee'd mine in where the cruise control is, and routed the line through the firewall where the throttle cable is (i have a bunch of stuff going through there) and was able to mount the gauge where the cig lighter was. for the oil pressure.... i used a sandwich plate...

i agree. using a cut off wheel will help with the removal of the old ps line. install of the SS line will be a piece of cake compared to installing a new hardline from toyota (with the engine in the car).

well.......... everything is installed and connected. had a power steering leak and fixed that. after a shitload of headaches with the new prosport oil pressure gauge (wouldnt register pressure after priming the system), i fired it up and it sounded great. except one big problem.... a massive...

yea i primed it a lot. i fill the filters with oil before i even install them. finally got the car running tonight, but have a massive oil leak so i had to call it quits for the night. ill check it out tomorrow. thanks -pete

thanks guys.... you really did me a huge favor. hopefully it will start right up. i will post updates in my build thread later tonight -pete

i noticed the same thing with my car and apparently the play on the oil pulley is normal.

i understand that.... but the problem is that its already installed on the motor with the turbo, oil/water lines, etc and i cant take off the block adapter to check. i cant find any pics of the underside of the block adapter to check either. i basically need to know whether the inlet is on the...

I bought the canton remote block adapter for my new oiling system. im trying to finish up my build today and the last thing i need to do is hook up my oil lines. for those who have the canton remote block adapter (90 deg swivel), my question is: which is the inlet and outlet if your looking...

so i assume this brace would have to be installed every time you take the top off? -pete

ive tried lubing it up, but dont have a good vice. my father has an old carpenters work table with a wooden vise. the vise isnt too sturdy but ill give it a shot. hopefully ill be up and running tomorrow. thanks -pete

i would think that ceramic coating everything would do the job. i have the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and heat shields coated, and about to get the turbo heat shield done. i think all those components should be more than enough. i used to run a turbo blanket, and did notice a...

great tips... ive been using the old sandpaper method and it just seems to take forever to get results. ill be trying some of these ideas out thanks -pete

^^^ i second that for your goals, plan on spending around $5-6 K for all the machining and new parts..... if you plan on doing the bottom end and do most of the reassembling yourself. might be more if your planning on a professional P&P. just remember to take you time and work slowly so...

got the new oil. im having trouble with the aeroquip socketless fittings and hose. i cant get the hose all the way onto the fitting. especially with the 90degree bends.... i dont want to bend the fitting. anyone have any good tips for installation??? -pete

its napa brand. ill check the API spec when i get home. ill exchange them for a detergent straight 30 weight on monday. i cant seem to find valvoline straight 30weight anywhere -pete

what do you mean by HD oil? whats wrong with non detergent oil? -pete

i ran the wires from the sensors in the engine bay through the hole in the firewall where the throttle cable goes. then i ran the wires past the shifter to my center console. i keep it in there when im not driving, and leave it out when i do. i mounted the wideband sensor on my test pipe, and...

could heat soak have anything to do with it? ive noticed that after driving for a bit and then stopping somewhere to pick something up, that when i go to start the car back up i experience the same symptoms. i notice that the intake temps at idle are much higher than when ive been running the...

update: almost done here. i got the shaftmaster driveshaft in and a new output shaft seal. redline tranny fluid in and the suprasport shifter came in and its installed. bled the clutch. wired the new adreneline efans (yes i know efans arent supposed to be good) and installed the aluminum...
