Choo choo
Its been awhile, not like anyone cares but I've been hording parts for a build for the last year. Ive ripped out the old eta motor and replaced it with a brand new shiny (Rebuilt) 2.7 stroker then slapping a turbo on it.
Now I've never done anything engine extensive before, thought it was final frontier. Now I've gotten to the point of putting it back together and blowing my mind out. Thought I would call upon r3v to share its knowledge and help me with my shitty googling skills to help piece this bad boy back together.
So, as it sits.. I have the engine in the car, with the tranny on. Currently my holds up are as followed (This is more or less a to do list for me and for you to help if you know how):
-Early model starter with late model wiring
-Turbo gauge wiring (Water Temp/Oil Temp/Oil Pressure/Boost)
-THE FUCK IS THIS C101 BODY SIDE PLUG PART NUMBER?!
- Exhaust..? Custom pipes?
- Catch Can vs Atmos
- Oil cooler or not?
On upcoming days I will be asking stupid questions, look like an idiot, and ask things that might be general knowledge to some. I'd really appreciate any help, knowledge, or harassment that would further progress my project.
Now for some HD iPhone pictures.

-run the wires (im assuming the fancy podi came with wires?) from the gauge to their respective areas.
-identify the wires on the round c101 that are for the engine. post them here. color and c101 location also
-send me the eta harness and I will work on that
I dont think you will need to buy any new pins, with the tool I have I can remove the pins in reusable condition so they can just plug into the rectangular c101 once they are removed from the round c101. Im guessing here, but I think it will work
-for the exhaust, start looking for video clips so you can see what others used and how they sound. then proceed
yes to oil cooler and catch can. both are good ideasSimon
