man i'm excited to see this things final numbers at the dyno and track

 

it probably will not see a dyno for a while but it will see the track after the tuning session.

 

sweet tyler, when you told me you was busy that weekend you wasn't lying. i wish i could have been there to help

 

Help? Don't lie peg, u just wanted to **** in his turbo.

 

looking good man! nice choice of wastegate and plugs. (i'm using the same)

Wait till u gether tunedshe's gonna bring a smile to ur face evertime u drive her

 

well this past weekend came and went. i pulled my intake manifold because the dsm injectors were not sitting flush, so walter and i pulled the mani and drilled out the injector ports. we broke the intake manifold gasket on friday and i couldnt get a new one until monday. we drilled the ports and the injectors fit nice now. we installed the fuel pump which was a piece of cake. i ran the boost gauge and i took my oil sandwich off to get to the intake manifold. luckily i did this cause i found out my oil pressure gauge line was kinked so i replaced that. i figured out where i am routing my air filter and i ordered a coupler for that today. i put three coats of hi temp black paint on my i/c piping and installed the right side of it. here is what needs to be done still:

Gap spark plugs @ .0030 Wastegate vac line BOV vac line Install injectors Cut oil return line Wrap downpipe and dumptube with exhaust wrap
walter wrapped the downpipe but i didnt like it so i am going to redo it this weekend, sorry walter.

here are some pics that i took this weekend.



installing the fuel pump, had to take out the back seats.



taking out the intake manifold, i had to disconnect the throttle body. i forgot to drain my coolant so i had coolant spill out on me everywhere.



no more intake manifold



just another shot of my turbo from a different angle.

so the plans are me going home this friday and hopefully finishing it up and cranking it over, that is if i dont break anything else. wish me luck.

 

nice pics man

 

thanks johnny, hopefully after this weekend i will have a video for you all of the first start up

 

sweet build up.

 

Nice build tyler. Are you going to use an air filter, screen, or just nothing?
