Well, project Angie is almost ready to fire up once again. This is the third time that I've installed the engine. The engine has been torn apart since last Thanksgiving. Now, almost all of the major pieces have been replaced. They aren't new but they were not a part of the original engine. I replaced all 3 irons and had both of the secondarys ported by Karack . Both of the rotor housings have been replaced. The ECU was replaced with a ECU w/ RTek 1.8. When I had it disassembled this time I replaced the oil control rings, side seals, corner seals and springs. We re-worked the piping for the FMIC and added an electric fan. Here is a pic of the engine bay. It is still a little messy and dirty but I want to be sure that it will run before I tidy it up.

what fitting is that on the intercooler tube after the turbo, with the nylon tubing??

 

^ Looks like a boost gauge vacuum line... Or something.

 

If are you referring to the tube in location #2, then, that is a temporary line run to a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I just wanted to be sure I had oil pressure before firing her up.

 

Pretty sure he meant #1 unless you have Pre-intercooler oil injection?

 

yea, I was curious on the number 1 hose.

If its a boost source for a gauge, its at an odd place.
