Fp manifold install+BOV install+ many other questions!!

[Hestman]

Okay to get a background of where Im at let me bring you all up to speed. My oil cooler assebly came apart and I wasnt paying any attention to my oil pressure gauge until it was too late. I found a pretty awesome built motor for cheap that I chose to install.

Weisco 10:1 pistons .020 (I know its high but I couldnt pass up this deal)
Eagle rods
Cometic triple layer metal head gasket
Arp Rod bolts
Arp head bolts
FP 272 camshafts
light porting and polishing to head
new valve train
new timing belt kit
new oil pump

All assembled at a good machine shop.


I purchased some other parts too I have some questions about

First the FP exhaust manifold. Two of the old longer bolts work but the other two bolt holes are clearly too short for the longer bolts. Why werent new bolts included in the kit? I mean you pay around $300 for the thing? I didnt even see an option on their site to buy the bolts needed for proper installation. Oh well a quick stop to the hardare store should do. Should I put lock washers on all the bolts? The factory bolts didnt come with any so I was just wondering.

Second the VR speed factory FMIC kit. (1g) Do I need a new gasket for the BOV? Where would I get one? The BOV doesnt "Bolt up" Looks like ill have to get longer bolts and nuts to install this. Thought it was a "Complete" kit but oh well I got it on their black friday special and you cant beat it!!

Third Their is a part that on a stock 1G bolts to the ront of the oil cooler. If you look at it its kinda round and doesnt look like it has a hex head on it but rather you grab it with plyers to screw in and out. What Is this part? I think the front of it broke off when I was installing the motor. Its silver in the back and black in the front and has a little screw on the end of it that looks like would thread into a fuel pressure gauge or something like that. Very fine threads.

Fourth The motor has been sitting for a year and the coolant port on the head from what I could see looked like it had some rusty stuff in it. Should I fill the coolant system with coolant + some other sort of cleaner and change it after 100 or so miles? Im just making sure Ive done everything right. I plan to change the oil after the first 200 or so miles just to be safe.

Fifth Do I need a new gasket where the J pipe bolts to the charge part of the turbo? or will the old one do? I broke a stinkin bolt that threads into the charge pipe of my new EVO3 16g turbo. The part the J pipe bolts to. I have no Idea how I did it maybe it was the wierd angle you have to get into to bolt it up. I read somewhere later that alot of people bolt it on before installing the turbo. This would have been very useful information had it been included in the packaging of the intercooler. Maybe just a helpful hint or something . Then again I guess I cant see alot of people wanting to pull their whole turbo off and getting new gaskets and what not. Well I think Im going to take it to a machine shop before I damage anything bc my easy out from cheap harbor freight broke off in it. Its the bolt hole that doesnt go all the way through otherwise i would have drilled that sucker out and tapped in a new thread.

I know I did alot of rambling but if anyone can answer any of my question especially the one about the piece that threads into the oil cooler I would be very greatful. And for the gasket questions I have gasket making material from autozone. The blue roll stuff. I wasnt sure if it was rated for Heat/boost. Anyone with experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Oh johneclipse good news buddy. The machine shope charged me 10 bucks to drill it out for me with the easy out in it. I dont think thats an arm and a leg do you? The guy there asked me how someone could come up with such an idea.

And no offense, but putting a little note in a FMIC kit saying it "MAy" be easier to install the J-pipe out of the turbo instead of struggling to barely get a 1/4 turn out of a wrench wouldnt cost them any money at all to do. But I guess just offering different install options for products is just plain silly huh?

I appreciate the information you gave me that was useful but I would appreciate it if you wouldnt try to be so rude. I treat people with the same respect they treat me and I was raised with good manners and to be polite. If you lack these qualities thats fine but im pretty sure this forum has rules that tend to go with that general idea.

sounds like you're haveing a bad day.nothing ever works out or fits like it supposed to.best of luck man.

Sometimes thats all someone needs to hear to cheer them up. Like from the movie white man cant jump. "I too know what its like to be thirsty"
