Sounds like the whining could be from the differential. fresh fluid *might* help.

No, there won't be a 3000 pipe. I'll be using a Driftmotion intercooler kit, so it'll replace that section.

Couple of pics of the manifold in place. Still have to sort out some of the coolant hoses. I can't figure out which are for the throttle body, from the silicone kit I got.

Glad to hear that your motor is running so good. Keep us posted on how you end up getting that tint off. I'll have to do this myself soon.

Thanks for looking guys. No, there's no benefit to the black powdercoating performace-wise, but using a powdercoat finish makes it very durable, and means i dont have to keep the aluminum polished, and also would hide any dirt smudges. I had read someone else's build thread years ago(couldn't...

So... I went over to my buddy John's house a couple days ago, and got some more work done: Along with the intake, I also did a few small brackets and support rods, as well as clearcoating the coolant piping. Tomorrow should see the final assembly of the engine. Then it's on to the clutch/...

When i get a chance tomorrow, I'll post a pic of my modified pivot arm.

Fair enough. I just went this route becaus i had a spare set of headlights.

OR, you could have moved the pivot ball on the motor's actuator arm in about 1" inboard, and not have to mess with the rod at all. This changed the distance that my headlights moved by half, and they didn't slam. I plan to redo my headlight system after my engine work, so that i can swap from...

They fit without mod, except for injector #1 in my case. I had to: A: Remove the small bracket on the fuel rail, that's held in by one screw. B: Slightly dremel about 1mm of aluminum from the fuel rail. Both mods took about 2minutes. Here is the entire thread that I had made...

No, it's a no-name brand. If a replacement can't be found, I'll just buy another flywheel.

Well, that was a bit messy. Separated the tranny from the engine, and found that I had really chewed into the flywheel. It's a replaceable insert, but I dunno how hard it's going to be to get one. Gotta start google'ing.

Finally getting around to pulling the old engine and tranny:

...in the front and rear axle/suspension sections? wait- was that a trick question?

Where do you work??

Got another few bits today: failsafe Tstat, ac expansion valve, and blower motor resistor: Also, brand new a/c suction and discharge lines:

That's where i bought mine too. Hey Enraged- did you get 2 O-rings in your pack? I got one for the outer 'collar' of the cps, and one slightly larger one. Dunno what it's for.

Or honestly, a junk yard or post a wanted thread here. People will have one for you, vs. $20 for the new dealership cost.

So...I'm reviving this thread to just verify, that NOTHING has been made that we can buy so far. is this correct?

Hmm, those two items don't seem to be for a stock non-turbo setup... Have plans changed yet again? :)
