so guys ive made up my mind im selling the turbo kit it will come with a precision 5857 dual ball bearing billet wheel turbo, 38mm turbo smart wastegate, and ZZP log style stainless steel manifold. everything has about 2k miles turbo has no shaft play everything is basically new looking to get 1500 obo thought i would give you guys first dibs will work on and cobalt.
BS of the day yesterday:
Went to change my oil pan and got to the shop at about 12:15. Found out they didnt have all the tools I need so I needed to go back to my house pick them up and go back to the shop. (The shop is not an automotive shop, but they have a lift inside in the AC
) So I start by pulling off the charge pipe, unbolt 15 oil pan bolts, 1 ac bolt, and 1 intercooler pump bolt.
I double check I am not missing anything and start to pry from the driver side since there is almost no roof to pry the passanger side. I get no where basically. So I grab the rubber mallet and break the pan to break it loose, nothing after more prying. I try the pry spot on the passanger side and bust my knuckles. So I am now looking for some sort of hidden bolt or something, cant see any place. So I post on the tech forums and wait.. I pry again and again and even had me and a friend on the other side prying at once and still nothing is budging.
So I keep beating it with the hammer and finally was able to hook on a pry spot on the passanger side and put some muscle into it and as I am doing that I see a tiny gap where it is finally starting to break apart from the block, then the pry bar slips and I bust my knuckle...
Did a final pry and got it off..
I scrapped the block clean, RTV'd the new pan, and bolted it up and finally finished that part and time on the clock....... 6:15. Everything with my damn car takes 15 times longer than I think!
Almost ready for some boost all I need are some new turbo to header bolts. I found out yesterday that one of them was missing so I only had 3 bolts holding my turbo on.. So I am getting longer ones and putting a lock washer on them. After work today I am going to finish it up!
DAMN! Well looks like I will be the fastest one now... No competition. *flame suit on*
But seriously hope you get everything straight. You are a good man for helping your family out by sacrificing a hobby.
When is it? I am too lazy to go search.. haha
