all the ecotecs iv'e come across have been 5qts, period.

Preston

thats what me and the other guy thought

but the pan looked noticebly a little smaller


were gonna try 4.5 quarts and see what it gets us

might get a vid tonight of the car starting!

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

gl, just for reference all the ectocs i've worked on and i'm talkin pontica, chevy and saturn all required 5qts regardless of year. just thought i'd throw it out there.

iTrader: (1)

Lsj uses 6qrts, dunno about the lnf but the cavy ecotecs were also 5qrts

Sentry

Yep 5 qts for the L61/LAP/LE5, 6 qts for the LSJ/LNF because of the FI.

I would do 5.5 qts.

Preston

well guys

got the turbo mounted
oil pan dropped..and put the new one in
took out the galley plug
ran majority of the piping just got t-clamp it all down
ran the oil lines(feed and drain)
ran the new heater hose

Tommorow it will be done...and trying to order my tune tonight!
2 day ship that ****** and have the car tuned by friday or saturday


And im not gonna run cooltant lines..im calling vulcan turbo..i dont think i will need them becaues it is such a small turbo..one less hassel too

and probably will get the gauges all hooked up too

Sentry

you might want to install the water lines. i wanted to bypass it too but i was told not to cause if its not gettin water and its supposed to it would overheat and sieze up the bearings

parts on expensive. like $25-$30 from lowes

Preston

Alright
piping is pretty much complete i gotta buy a like foot piece thats gonna be a bitch to do
in the back of the motor by the exhaust manifold that sliver like rod thing taht is shaped like a U

But my gauges are all hooked up all have power to them (and wideband is ready to go, not plugged in and boost lines are ran.)
went and put oil in the car last night gonna be checking for leaks after school
Mobil one fully synthetic

umm gotta just figure out my downpipe and thats what im gonna be focusing on right after i get my charge piping done..which should be done really quick

and ordered my tune last night..just gotta call trifecta today and make sure they got the money and everything and i overnighted it..so SHOULD be here friday or saturday

so close guys so close
and it helps to have a reddyheater blasting hahah so nice working in my garage now.

good ****. im bout to start on mine in an hour and hopefully finish it in 8 hours or so

Preston

your going turbo? or SC?

BlackCobalt707

iTrader: (5)

turbo. i think i messed up tho. where is the galley plug for the oil feed? so far i got my turbo and manifold mounted, oil pan tapped, 42's in, coolant lines ran, intercooler piping done, and tuned. i just need to get the oil and a longer drain hose and go get my downpipe made and im done

Preston

should be RIGHT below the manifold
well it was on mine if i could i'd get a picture but its a bitch

and im done with my car for the night
getting pissed at the car and trying to work is not a good combo

and you know to do the one ALL the way on the passenger side right? for the gallery plug

you got message to

BlackCobalt707

iTrader: (5)

damn. i figured that was the plug. i gotta take my manifold off. i dont think i can get to it from the top

Preston

you should be able to actually we were able to get mine from the top i know

granted every manifold is different.

Sentry

Yeah, my manifold was a tight fit on the studs, and I remember finally getting it on and then like....oh **** I gotta get THAT thing out??? Yeah it's much easier with it off. I got a perfect pic of the plug, lemme get it for ya. Oh, and go buy a T40 torx if you don't already have one.

07cobaltguy
