I've eaten up my spring break installing a motor. It's taken way longer than it should've and I'm about 80% done.

 

Removed my uim to remove a large wad of paper some idiot left in the injector port. Got the temp sensor I broke off in a housing out and replaced. Taking my uim into work to clean off the baked on gaskets.

 

CJ Motorsports rail, aeromotive FPR installed with my nicely polished manifolds:








And finally have the Special GTSpec FMIC mounted for piping fitment.

 

Damn, I'm definitely behind the curve, everybody else is spending spring break installing their motors and I pulled mine out.

dfoster154, with the front mount intercooler, do you plan on having the radiator mounted upright as well or will it still be angled as they are stock? Engine bay so far looks like it's coming along great.

 

Got the fuel tank out of my FB getting it resealed and painted, need toget a new bumper cover front and reat waiting on getting front bumper support as well.

 

Took out my dash to replace my carpet.

 

Got my vert together tonight. No start. Back to the drawing board.

 

Discovered a minor coolant leak from the upper radiator hose on the FD....fixed now.

Installed a boost gauge on the FC.

Ready to roll for the summer

 

You LIE! You never call anymore!

 

You talking to me!? Dude you have my number as well buddy

 

Brought my vert back to life last night.

 

That's close to spring break Great job!!

 

i'd be alot happier about it if the oil cooler plug in the front cover didnt snap off last night. Looks like a busy weekend ahead for me.

 

More work done....

Polished my Apexi GT Spec Front mount



Custom fabricated the Mounts for my Radiator to sit angled directly behing my FMIC - My buddy using the Plasma Cutter.


Fitment testing:

 

Nice, I like those CJ Motorsport Rails.

 

Bought some pipe....



And a bend to go with it... then my buddy welded them together, I finished off the polishing. We attached the BOV, I found a new home for the AST and BAM, a near finished project.



For the record, she fires up right away, and no sensor lights! Hoooo fricking Rah!


Iowa and Steve Kan, here I come next week. OH... for those that are curious, with the new fuel setup, I am running a bit rich right now. 10.7 at IDLE.... eek.

 

Pics of my car painted. Got painted in my schools auto body shop by a friend. Not bad for his first time painting a whole car.
