coming to help work on junk?

She runs!

pulled the injectors out and got the seals in them all swapped out

Once I got these back I’m fired the car up to make sure there were no leaks then I wired my wideband back up and calibrated the sensor again. Next on the list is to bolt the harness bar back in and go for a drive.

couple shots I took once I got her all back on the ground.

So the first drive was a bust. I think the brakes need bled a little more for one. The other issue I’m having is coming up on boost it feels like it’s coming up to a brick wall and just doesn’t want to rev any higher and you can kinda hear it breaking up too. Need to check into that next

So after a plug change she’s makes some power.

This was right after the 2-3 gear change. This is a combo of 23psi gate springs+ exhaust back pressure+ cool weather . Needless to say the short drive felt pretty damn good

small update:

drove it a little more. still runs so good. going to pick up some new fluid for the transfer case and swap it since its the only fluid i havent changed in it recently. also need to find a vent car thing for it because at some point mine fell off. also going to pick up some new line for my wastegate since the red just looks odd to me. need to hit up my local fastenal and get the other fittings i need to change out the other vac lines to the push connect fittings. more on that when i get to it. going to start calling shops again since its winter time to try and get the car in to get caged.

You planning on painting it? Or doing anything cosmetics? (headlights maybe?)

Might do a new set of headlights or work on these ones over the winter. Carbon hood another set of wheels, Other than that probably not I’ve kept the whole best look just to give it more of a sleeper feel when we go to street race it.

Update:
Sunday decided to put the harness bar and harnesses back in the car

Also got the fluid changed in the transfer case today

Also decided while I was at it I decided to change the lines on my bcs to black. The red was a temp thing to get things going but I wasn’t a fan on them so they had to go.

So once this was all done decided to take it on its first real drive. I ran into one issue while I was out running errands

I guess when I made this one I cut it a little fldiffetent and on the drive it decided to touch the manifold and melt. Thankfully I had extra so I just made another one and all was good to go

More soon to come

Let us know how hard it is to take out the dash......I need to swap one into another car and don't know if I want to tackle it or not.
Looking forward to the next picture!!!!

Dash has been out a few times it’s not bad at all. Easiest way is to drop the steering column down too. But all that was taken out only took me about an hour. Another 15-20 minutes dash would’ve been out but the fiancé came home and needed some help.

Man I sure appreciate it. Any tips?

I got a tip for you Marty... Don't post the same thing three times!!!

Or maybe there's an exception, since you're a moderator?

There’s actually a video I followed from velocity labs channel that was a good step by step. Only thing I learned that helped more was dropping the steering column.

My phone was bouncing between my router and my wifi last night Sol, it was giving me quite the fit. I was trying to do some business too and finally just gave up. Reset the router and went to bed!
