What was used on valve cover and intake manifold? I plan to do this shortly and am weighing pros and cons of expensive powder job vs. crinkle from autozone. Thanks!

YEEEEEEE.

Are you going to loop your charge pipe up and over like that off the compressor?
Since no A/C you have gobs of space under QUE NO?

YEEEEYEEEE! LOL, going to fill the void with turbo nos!!! Going to loop it just like this -

Got some more work done on the car today. I goofed and forgot to buy an adapter for my oil feed off the block, so monday I will be able to get her fired up finally. Gives me more time to tidy up the wiring anyway :)

Mas fuel-

19lb vs Deka 80lb (thanks KAmotors for the help here)





Downpipe wrapped and re-installed -



Moved the coil and cleaned up that whole area -

i feel you man . im literally just waiting for a degree wrench from my friend to torque my rods, and for my selector shaft seal to come, as well as two new rods bolts . eager for them to ship , i cant wait to here your car spool up

I bought mine at a parts store, that is one of the most annoying things to me. TTY bolts are used everywhere, just give me a final torque range not this degree bullshit lol.

Excited to see your build finished!

That turbo/manifold/downpipe setup looks great!

Thanks Matt! Very pleased to see the great fitment, nothing hits or needs adjustment. Bolt on and go, the only thing i did is go down and get higher grade bolts for everything.

totally agree.

I got a spare E30 with a 2.7L in it am really tempted to built it on the side too...

Yes, I love the potential these motors have on stock rotating assemblies but everything has it's limit.

Regardless of brand, turbo's break/wear out with time. I will be building a built block on the side to replace this motor so i can make more power.. Looking at a Precision 6262 or larger for the next motor.

Let's start a pool on which one will last longer... lol...

I'm going to be on the hunt for a used holset soon.
