get pics up

 

Okay, any suggestions to get this belt to fit over the air conditioner pulley ?

 

you have to pull the top engine mount and set a piece of wood between the frame and the oil pan. Then you have room to get a 3/8" breaker bar in there, i use a little prying force with a crow bar to get it in there, pull up on the pulley and you can pretty much slip the belt on any way you want. Your tensioner needs to be pulled back to get the belt on.

i have since switched to an LNF alternator and bilts. This is just to show some locations to install the belt and which belt i used.

 

so is everyone using the lnf alternator or an le5 or 2.2 for oem look ? just curious also which tensioner probably the 2.2 one as well right.

Last of my stuff should be in on the 12th

 

i am using the following L61/LNF stuff.

LNF Alternator
LNF Alternator Bolts
L61 Idler Pulley
L61 Serp Belt (part number is in my pic above)

other LNF stuff...

GMPP upgraded LSJ clutch kit (supposedly LNF)
New LNF Flywheel
LNF TOB
replaced clutch pipe
LNF shifter cable bracket
other LNF stuff I cant recall at the moment.

 

The gmpp clutch kit is actually an upgraded clutch stronger than the LNF supposedly. Does hahn have a different alternator kit for turbo swapped ss or is it just like zzps?

 

no, they leave that to you unfortunately, their support is lacking in many ways when it comes to turnkey systems. Contact mongorat in the forsale section, he has stuff. Lots of it.

 

Is there anyway I can leave the manifold on to do that oil feed line? I have it all on and I feel it will take way to long to take it all off.

 

oh my friend you are still learning... I have had to remove my turbo kit some 5 times for different things. I have had my engine out of my car now 3 times, completely dissasembled as well. Get used to it. Any time you do stuff like this you may have to do it twice. Dont ask me about putting a rear main seal in backwards. Had to tear the whole car down again to fix that. Did it in one day though.

Take the turbo off, not the manifold. You can access the oil ports with just the snail removed. I know that mainifold is some work if you dont remove the water crossover pipe.

I now remove parts sometimes just to get at a bolt easier. Its may seem like more work but in the long run saves you time.

Get to wrenchin.

 

****... Haha

A few pics of my set up

 

everyone check out my buiold thread.. need some suggestions.

 

to sticker or not to sticker?

 

Holy hell thats a clean engine bay!

 

got a new engraved plate for my valve cover.

 

That's nice where did you get that from?

 

Where is the best place to buy a swap kit I know zzp sells them but they are very pricey also I think hhan does but there website is super hard to navigate

 

if you think ZZP is pricey, then a turbo swap is not for you

 

I got my hahn kit for 2200 bucks. I wouldnt buy a turbo kit full price for one. 2: if you do buy a turbo kit buy the zzp kit because its turnkey. My hahn required some work. I had to source an LNF alternator and bolts, The hahn oil return is garbage, tapped and made my own oil return line for better flow. That was just the beginning. Had to HPtuners, learned a lot but still dont trust my self to tune. Then I redid my head cause turbo kits arent for novices. Then I rebuilt my engine cause I broke a sleeve being new to turbos and turned my boost controller the wrong way. Shot to 7200 rpm and out of range on my boost gauge and POP. Then I rebuilt my engine, learned what not to do with a boost controller. And in the process the money and time spent cost me way more than my original investment of 2200 bucks. I have 100's of hours in my car, thousands more than the turbo kit. And if you plan on doing this plan on spending money, even if you are not dumb like me and turn the BC the wrong way you still have to pay to play when you start breaking 2nd or 3rd gear, axles, etc.

Not trying to scare you away from it but its not as easy as you think making 400 daily driven horsepower.

 

Agree^^

 

Also does that say AMS on the piping ?

 

Thanks

No it says CMS it's a local shop down here that did my piping.

Hahaha 3200 for my whole zzp kit from zzp not sure if that's cheap to him tho
