Holy Hell Jon aren't you done yet!!!!! :laughing: jk

The items i've bolded you can get at autozone, advance or summitracing.com in lengths for pretty cheap, (summit is my #1 choice for everything and autozone is #2)

Some advice, and others can put in their 2 cents, when you put those head gaskets on together get a can of copper spray. You can find it at autozone. It is almost like spray paint but its a high temp copper gasket spray. I use it on EVERY head gasket I've ever put on without fail. Just a nice even coat will do, and let it get tacky. It doesn't take much

It was something I never did until we started getting into racing. A guy in the pit box next to us was using it and we asked him (in newb fashion) why he was spray painting his gasket. He told us it helps seal better and if you blow your top apart you don't always have time to make sure your deck and head surface are spotless in between passes.

Thanks for the advice! but yea I was already planning onusing the copper spray lol If I dont then it will leak like a mother fuxer lol.

And Yea I saw the SS braided oil lines on summit racing they are pretty cheap. I also Realized I need the folllowing since the person I bought my turbo cut them to remove the turbo. lmao

OEM Water Line kit

OEM Oil Return Line

And also I need an O2 housing, so I was considering this one. Any one used it?

SBR 2.5" SS O2 Housing w/ Dump


god **** this project is taking more money than i though it would! lol :(

EDIT: Also, I am going to be replacing EVERY single screw and bolt under the hood with a brand new chrome or SS screw/bolt lol I am actually gonna start on that when I get back from dinner (The ones I can easily access without pulling the motor lol)


EDIT (2): Oh yea, I almost forgot! My 3 guage and radio in-dash bezel came in today!

Looks really nice. I had them Powder coat it Glossy black for me :D! Only thing is it says its for 52mm gauges but my 52mm boost gauge JUST doesnt fit, so either its slightly smaller than 52mm or the boost gauge is slightly bigger lol either way, I am gonna grind the holes down a bit so that it will fit. =)

I might go ahead and install the bezel tonight too so it will be out of my way lol

Don't buy vacuum lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought 20 feet. I don't need 20 feet!!!!

What I have left over I will send down. for you.

WOW, I like those prices better! :o

Thanks pwee! :D :beer:



Really? Thanks bro! I have to ask though. Why did you buy 20 feet? lmao

and also, speaking of buying too much, How many feet of oil and coolant line should I buy?

I really don't know what I was thinking.

I have to run boost gauge to intercooler pipe. Wastegate to wastegate and then boost controller. BOV to somewhere. I needed a lot but not as much as I bought.

no prob. some of the cheaper tube ones crack at the welds. but you also won't be running high boost, high exhaust temps, and beating the hell out of your car either so it will probably be ok to go with the cheaper one. But, if you don't mind paying a little extra try to stick with a cast one. it will last longer

My J-Pipe arrived! :D

Note: Sry for the shitty pic. was taken on camera phone in poor lighting lol. :x

Probably wont be many updates for a while Gotta pay for college until my parents start to pay for it again (Have to get good grades before they will pay for it since I already ***** up twice. :/ )

Well good news. I have about $850 left in parts to buy for the turbo build. this only includes the essentials So other stuff will come later such as oil cooler and cams and stuff. I SHOULD have all the parts by xmas. However, tho only way I will be able to install them is if My compression test turns out ok. if not Rebuild will have to come first :/


EDIT: Oh yea, I plan on video taping the entire process with my dad's new HD camcorder! lol This way everyone will see all the mistakes and glory that come about. lol

awsome cant wait
