booost is heree

last of the stuff is in

 

you put it all on yet?

 

no i wish!! i just got it today while i was at the barber shop lol i just got home and opened it all up

 

hey man is that a turbo !!!!! sweert

 

well started a bit today. got intercooler on. tb on the intake mani etc. figured out where stuff goes.

came to the problem of not having the pulley tensioner so i need to find one now. and also that the cover ovet the water pump drive needs to be drilled/tapped for a 1/8 npt 90 degree elbow fitting that the kits comes with so i need to get that done at a shop or somthing. i dont want ot mess it up lol. then i need to find a good tool to take off the foward plug under the water pipe for the oil feed fitting and get that on there.

on the to bad news other than the pulley tensioner. well the intak mani had 2 of the bolts from the tb stuck not the whole thing but the ends of it so had to find a way to get those out i did. would of been nice if i would of known before hand. no biggier i solved that problem,
butttttt

the turbo mani stud was stripped.. and looks like it was messed wit before and widdened.








question about the brake booster connection..

does this look correct?
i used the biggest long gold fitting for it only thing i had left unused and not needed anywhere else..

 

damm sorry to hear about it.. my tutbo has a broken bolt on the exhaust that i have to drill out if that makes u feel better lol

 

its okay. im busy all day but dad is off and he is all into this swap so he will be taking mani into the shop to get all new studs etc and get the side water pump drive cover tapped with the fitting for the oil breather hose and after that im good to go. my friend said he has the puelley tensioner i need to im set after that so friday for sure heavy work will be done on the car and done sat for sure if everything else goes well

 

Brake booster looks correct to me. Been a while since I looked at that. Even though it's pushlok hose, I'd recommend clamps personally.

That manifold is wack. Not sure what happened there.

 

oh na ill be using clamps of everything. whatever is on right now its just test fitting and making sure im doing it right and to see what im missing or need to arrange in what ways. but thx for the confirmation

& yes looks like it was messed wit and filled before but it messed up now. FML but will be taken care of tomorrow or tuesday. so ima chill and not let it get to me

and thx for ya time today on the txt messages slowswap

 

Anytime buddy! Feel free to send picture messages when trying to describe fittings. lol

 

wat are u doing to the brake booster ?

 

no pic mail FTL yet ha but i do have 2 more questions and pics




on this pic hte front hose used to go to the supercharger by pass valve where does it go now?

also then this back hose of if it used to go to the sc intake mani so im pretty sure it goes to the lil plug the new intake mani has i beleive it has on the opposite side of the pcv one or below it its a lil fitting im prett sure u know what im talking about and here is a pic of the hose



^ the one im holding is the one that comes of the back . the front has in laying to the front if you look at it

connection it lol nah cuz before it went into a plug in the sc but now im swapping turbo so i was making sure I did the right connection lol

 

tru tru lol stupid ?

 

That's for the factory boost solenoid. Both those hoses should connect to the same solenoid. Remove that whole assembly.



Red highlighted is factory boost solenoid. It goes by by.

 

so where will the factory boost gauge will be ready boost from?

bit new on this so yeah might be something simple and i dont know it lol

 

MAP sensor.

 

so i can just unplug both of those hoses off? and leave where they plug in there like that and it wont affect anything?

 

good luck on your project dude

 

Won't affect a thing.

 

sounnds good then. thx and

thank you joblaney

 

stuff should be back from shop tomorrow

 

Hey Rico, I tried to talk with Trevor who was the last guy working under me who helped me with the build(he was fired by me a month ago). Anyhow, I asked him about the exhuast manifold and he said that he did recall having to mess around with that. I thanked him for letting me know because the pic you posted was the first time I ever seen that. Anyhow, my appologies and if I had known this I would have ofc informed you ahead of time. Let me know the cost of having that repaired and I will take it off the money you owe me to make this right. Cheers for now!

 

Sounds good , apreciate you finding out and letting me know you still here and giving the right service to a customer
that right there brings buyers back

but ill let u know ill know the price of to fix that tomorrow and all

 

Those are some red shoes! Good luck man.

 

Better see it done by the somewhat upcoming Bash rico haha tuned and everything
