i preffer hahn over the way that sounds :p

 

whats that large tube on the IM endplate connect to?

 

the other hole on the blower, think of that as the wastegate equivilent...there is a bypass valve that handles the valve that opens and closes on the blowers end

 

gotcha.

 

ima take a wak at polishing this ****, ima sand it down to a 800-100 grit, than hit it with primer, and than hit it with some high temp paint, clear coat the **** out of, i want a polish black look, not casted black

 

pansy hahaha

 

Just pick up my M62 from a salvage SS for $255.

 

yeah i just picked up the tensionor and the idler pulley from the same seller as the intake manifold, so they all ship together later today once hes out of work, he almost shipped it during his lunch but i manage to get a hold of him via PM before he did, saves me cash on shipping lol so only things left are

exhaust
lsj intake
stgII belt
zzpmodular system 3" pulley
42lbs injectors and harness
tune from trifecta

and thats it, ill be cap'n the lower nipple on the actuator so boost will be limited to ~4-5psi so i can drive the car w/out slipping the clutch, shortly afterwards a spec stg2+ and fidanza flywheel will be installed, probably a month or 2 after the sc build is done

 

well last night i took a shot at sanding the blower, i started with 80grit block, sanded it all down, didnt pay to much detail to the parts you couldnt see once installed as their is no point, i scuff'd them up, but didnt sand them to a shiny finish...but here's some pics so far






here's the oil, changing that while im at it


more finsihed pics later on when i get pack to it, prob going to be till i have time again

 

I think I'm probably gonna paint mine as a hole...

...though perhaps maybe I should do this, too.

 

i was going to do that too...but im plugging the silencer holes so i had to take it apart

 

WOW, what the ****!

Good looking out, I was about to order one next pay check. Looks like I'll be spending my money elsewhere.

 

thats jdm yo^^^ lol

 

hahahah yeah, that their first batches, they have imporved since than, my buddy is running their 2.5" exhaust kit and it fit flawlesslsy, he had it welded together instead of using clamps though, but none the less, fit perfect

 

No....this was last weekend.......not their first batch, just first 3" stainless with a TC flange(which they messed up too.....)


Howd that supercharger oil smell>>> LMFAO

 

LOL WTF were those guys thinking, their first cobalt one was to short, now their first tc one us to long

 

it looks like they welded in a few extra inches that made it stick out though. The part that is being held up by the support has welds on both sides of it? If it wasnt there, it would look fine.

 

Yeah but thats just the tip, that doesnt account for the muffler hangers being 5 inches away from where they should be, or the over axle pipe hitting both the axle AND the body of the car, or the over axle hanger being 2 inches too low and 4 inches too far back, or the midpipe hanger being 3" too high, or it having the wrong flange. It looked good. Somebody had a bad day on the bender and welder though, LOL

 

look what came in the mail today, now to sand it and primer it like the sc, just need to wait for warmer weather, i dont paint in the cold, anyone know what that hole on the thrid pic down is on the side of the manifold?? i dont remember that ebing there on my buddies one

 

That hole is for the oil dipstick. I am not sure how the 2.2 dipstick is designed. You may not need to use it.

So the color you painted the SC was just the primer? What is going to be the final color of the SC and IM?

 

ohhh ok yeah i wont need it lol i noticed other manifold had it to, and its perfectly machined on their lol, i was like something goes in there

yes thats primer, it has 4 coats of primer on top the of the sanding to get the casted look off,it will get a few coats of black, and loads of clear coat, same for the intake manifold, its cold right now the weather went from 80's to 40's over night and it wont let up til next week, so im not painting till weather gets warmer...paintin in the cold FTL

 

just bought the belt off another member on here almost done only need a few other things...

only need:

header/dp: made arrangements for already
injectors/harness: may get the stgII ones from another member
LSJ intake: going ebay with a KnN filter(unless i find a nice KnN one soon)
tune

total: $1,100 more to go, after next friday i hope to already have the header/dp with my windeband installed shortly after, and the injectors with harness, the next check i get will buy the intake and random misc bolts, and than next month on the 20th i will order the tune, so install will take place in early may

 

ok so i took the manifold apart, and this thing is filthy, dont know what the previous owner put this thing thru, but i took the endplate off, and it looked like it had engine oil in it, looking in thru the ports, its filthy with black dried up mud looking gunk, the intake manifold inlet is pretty clean but around the bottom its filthy, im going to be removing the cores, and pressure washing this damn thing inside and out, also the endplate has what looks like rust build up on the inlet and outlet im going to be taking a wirebrush to that and cleaning it ina dn out too, and the cores are getting cleaned with running water, after that it will dry it down, and start sanding the manifold to get ready for paint; doing this all tonight and tommorow morning
