what side is your down pipe going to be coming out on the driver side or passanger side ...

 

i think he is going to use a 2.5" dp and coming out the driver side

 

hopefully everything will fall into place once that bolt is off !!!

 

Correct. The dump on the turbo is 2.5", so taking that drivers side and then going to weld it into my zzp dp.

 

that shall sound amazing !!!

 

less talkie moar picz and vidz

 

^ damn somone is a little antzy lol

I feel the same way lol

 

i'm living boosted vicariously through the piping i sold him

 

Pics????

 

so whats up are you done yet?

did you get the galley plug off yet?....i put an allen key on it...the long way so i could reach it from the top and then i put a wrench on the short end for some leaverage...took some pushing but it came off....with a loud pop...i thought i broke the allen key but it turns out that its just the sound they make when you take them off...good luck

 

Are you saying that they pop off? They aren't threaded bolts???

Damn If I knew that they just pop off I would have tried that in the first place. I thought you had to turn them.

The mechanic that came over yesterday ended up stripping another one, so I only got that one left on the back side of the block. I'll try again today when I get home.

 

They ate treaded but when u turn then they make a pop sound once you break it free, than u just turn it out stop stripping them

 

so whats the status on this build, sentry? finishing it anytime soon?

 

Weld a nut to it, or weld the Allen socket into it!

 

Got a guy coming tomorrow morning to do just that. If that doesn't get it off I don't know what will, lol.

Hopefully build resumes tomorrow. Finishes actually.

 

o man stripped another...i know they are hard...but cmon, your the second guy i hear of having this kind of trouble...you need to use the right tools or you will just keep stripping them...well good luck...i guess welding a nut to it is a good idea...and if that dont work...time for an easy out kit

 

Weld the Allen to it, and ur set, or a nut to, but **** haha if that fails u might have to pick another one, there's loads of them They just aren't as close as those

 

good luck mang

 

Waiting on the guy to get back, he's doing something right now.

I just found out that my dad is secretly one of those, "no replacement for displacement" guys. He was like, "I don't know why you're doing all this to a 4 cylinder. You should have got a old car and put a block in it...I know you're into all that Japanese zing zing ****...."

I had to take a step back and was like . ITS A CHEVY DAMN SHOW RESPECT!

 

lol about the dad comment.... show him whats up lol

 

Yeah, he said line up ANY V8 with that amount of work and see what happens.

Hopefully if he ever comes to the track he can see me womp on some camaros or something.

 

with that amount of work.. the more appropriate statement .. is with that amount of money into it .... because a turbo setup generally doesn't run like 2-3k for a v8

 

Picsssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

 

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII CONNNNNNNNNNNNCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

The war is finally over. Many cuts and about $30 in tools later, and it finally came out.

To save others the trouble, in the future, remember a T-40 star bit works awesome!!!

Getting it all mounted tonight! Pics for realz this time....
