Today was another all business, no pictures day. Sorry guys.
Anyways, I made it over to Bobby's house about 2:30, I used the metal brush to get all the oil and loose crud off some things I wanted to paint.
I put the fuel rail and cam angle sensor on the head, I put the throttle body, coil pack, and PTU on the intake manifold.
My timing tensioner, idler pulley, and tensioner pulley will be here tomorrow so I can install those.
I also went and exchanged my old waterpump for a new one today. So I will install that tomorrow as well.
If tomorrow goes as planned I can install the head finally as well. I might go pick up a timing belt tomorrow if possible. At the very least I want the head bolted down.
The only things holding me back from starting the car
-injectors(will be here saturday)
-exhaust manifold(I will put hot coals under Johns feet friday so he can works faster )
-o2 sensor(I can start the car in open loop until I get one)
Things I want to buy as soon as possible
-intercooler piping for my FMIC
-TiAL 50mm BOV in black
-FIC BlueMax 1450cc injectors
-Bosch 044 fuel pump
-Fuel Lab Fuel pressure regulator kit
I can probably have all of this acquired by the end of april. Then it's time to hit the dyno
I'll update tomorrow with some pictures to make up for yesterday and today
Here's a few more from the other day.
