    Re: FINALLY time for MY turbo build!

    here's the fwd oil filter adapter, it has the oil pressure port on the back side but i tapped it on the top front so that running the feed line wouldn't be so difficult.

      Looking really good buddy! You are inspiring me to get my Powerdyne project back on track. Keep up the great work and please MOAR PICZ!!! :)

      BTW Besides the intake your motor looks identical to mine. Looks great. You have a beautiful car and I love the Yellow very much.

          question for ya guys............ is it ok to run oil through a turbo without it actually being hooked up... i figure it would be but wanted to double check... basically i want to mount it and run the oil lines to it, before i actually get the exhaust connected to it.

            Shouldn't hurt it aslong as the drain is in place also , so you don't blow any seals.

              Yeah you can. It will give extra lubrication upon start up.

                      got my arp flywheel bolts in today..... yeaahhhh........ arp doesn't actually make flywheel bolts for our motor. i had ordered ones for a v8 car apparently.. i went to lowes and picked up two grade 8 bolts and washers and installed them across from eachother along with the rest of the factory bolts with loctite. and installed the clutch.. tomorrow i will have her ready to put back in.

                        holy balls.... the clutch disk that came with my xtd brand stage III clutch was so tight on the input shaft that it was the largest ***** to install....
                        i installed the disk on the input shaft before i put it on and it slides freely. but damn... took forever and im sore as ****. the transmission is installed now though. soo everything should go in this weekend... yay.

                          FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.. motor is back in. however my headers won't work..
                          driver side hits the steering shaft and the passenger side touches, just barely touches the a/c box... i could fix the a/c box problem easily. and the same for driverside however i can't remove either side header with the motor in. so idk.

                                thanx, i'm not giving up, not sure what im going to do exactly yet..... if i cut the the header studs the headers will be easier to remove.... dono how much easier though... gonna take sometime to think about it
