build looks good...
Here is a pic of one of the turbos I was going to use:


I decided not to use it. So I sold it.

I just got these Blox gauges in last night. I called Blox and they were back ordered on the Boost gauge till the end of next month!!! I called RedZone Performance, Spoolin Performance, DNR, CTR, N1Concepts, WekSos, and no one had it in stock. This mofo was hard to find.. I bought it for $60 from someone on H-T.

I think this looks pretty sex!

fucking great!!!! +1 for you
So yesterday I got the dashboard and stuff back in the car. I also hooked up the Go-Autoworks vacuum manifold, and installed the sending unit for my oil pressure gauge. Lots of other work done in the middle.

I snapped a pic of the gauges. This was during the test phase.
I'll snap more pics today.

Thanks :)

I ordered a new TB gasket and the studs that go into the intake manifold to hold down the fuel rail. The new intake manifold didnt come with them and I thought I could use 10mm bolts to hold it down.

Yesterday I tested the fuel pressure and fuel squirted out lol. So I doubt that worked. So my order should be ready today for pickup.

Also the new intake manifold doesnt have a port for the IAVC coolant hose. So I am thinking of using a brass T. Anyone else have this issue with aftermarket intake manifolds?
So I worked on the car yesterday.
My friend Alan (old s/n JaradKaragen) came over and helped me get the car started.

She fired up right after we built up some oil pressure and fuel pressure. We let the car idle and warm up. We revved it up and the motor sounds perfect.

There are a few things that need to be done now.

List:
Re-do the wiring for the TPS and Water Temp sensor
Replace the bent cam gear

Then I can have the car on the road!

Alan has a video of the startup. He said he would send it to me today; so I'll post the video once he sends it to me :bigok:

Thanks Pat!

So.. my wiring skills arent THAT bad lol. The motor at least runs (with 2 CELs). Not bad lol.

I've seen cars not even crank over cause the wiring was so bad lol!

But hey! I'm gonna work on it again Saturday. Let's see if I can fix this issue and get the car on the road!

It seems no matter what type of work i do on a car this shit happens. I'll change a tire and oil/dirt magically finds it's way into my eyeball lol
Ok so here is the video.

The sound you hear towards the end is the bent cam gear rubbing the inside of the VC.

No worries.
