Well I got ALOT done sense I last posted. I got the cylinder head put all together with my stainless swirl polished valves and 3g revised lifters. Got the cylinder head put on and torqued down. Got the clutch put on got the trans put on the back of the motor. Found a few problems on the trans...... The bracket that bolts to the trans for the side mount where loose and from shifting had worn the bolt hole out and pulled it though. So I found a HUGE 5/8 16 tap and two bolts so I drilled it out and tapped it and its holding better than stock now. Got the motor and trans in. Got the turbo put on.

I have a stainless oil feed line from the OFH to turbo. I have the whole intake system on now. I just bought a starter and belts they will be here tomorrow. I have a full 2.5 stainless steel exhaust o2 housing back.


I hope when I turn the key she purrs like a sweet kitten.

You should clean up those IC pipes.

patch that strut tower rust up asap man.

i agree, get those strut towers in better shape.

 

[motozachl]

Wow them strut towers

 

[2slow4utsi]

Those towers need to be replaced not patched bro. The rust will eat it's way from the inside out. A member on here (don't recall who) did a test to see how the towers rust out and you'd be surprised at how many towers aren't as clean as people think they are.

 

[turbo98eclipse]

Should have repainted those ic pipes while it was off... or polished them or something! Lol. Keep us posted

 

[DSMReviver]

Bro, you got a hole on your passenger strut tower. THIS SHOULD BE FIX ASAP. If you don't its gonna get out of hand. Do this before anything else.

 

[95weclipse]

Hahhaha I knew people where going to say something about my strut towers thats the next thing thats getting fixed its going to be fixed next weekend we got to fix the welder first. Yes the whole motor is rebuilt. I am going to repaint the IC pipes i think just black though. the uppers are steel except the elbow off the IC its aluminum. the upper pipes are greddy they came on the car. I am running a ported 14b for now because I dont have any supporting mods.

 

[95weclipse]

I did get my starter and belts today so got them put on and just need a battery and a knock sensor

 

[96awdspyder]

Powder coat your piping with wrinkle finish.. I seen one done like this and it was bad ass

 

[AWDTSIer]

I hope our a/c fan is wired up to be your primary cooling fan, if not id look into getting a fan in there asap!

 

[95weclipse]

the driver side one is the a/c fan? i thought the pass side was the a/c.

 

[AWDTSIer]

The plastic one that is located on the pass side is the primary and the metal drives side fan is the a/c. But i have seen other dsmer's use the metal ones for a slim fan for use of the primary. Id say just move it over and try that, hope it works out for ya!

 

[bradselph]

should have fixed them strut towers when the engine was out....

 

[95weclipse]

The strut towers have nothing to do with the motor out, its not in the way so I am not worried about it

 

[j_biggz]

Glad to see shes coming back to life. I know you been waiting that for damn sure. Looks like you got some work to do still but atleast it'll be mobile soon! Congrats bro

 

[Ruthless]

Are you planning to go with purple accents all around the bay? or are two purple accents just a coincidence? =D

 

[hypergenesis]

My god those strut towers make me want to cry ...

 

[96awdspyder]

There not that bad to fix

 

[95weclipse]

Well the valve cover is almost the same color as the car I got it with my 90 tsi awd that I dont have any more the guy tried painting every thing he painted the valve cover the cam gear cover and the compressor housing. The cam gear cover is almost a red and the compressor cover is almost a red also. I didnt even pay attention to the bov and the air cleaner they came on the car and they are good so I am going to use them.

 

[viprez586]

oil feed from OFH and any Mitsubishi turbo = no good.

 

[95weclipse]

better than from the head.....

 

[97gst_spyder]

Not for a mhi turbo. Unless you run a restrictor.
