Looks good however........... did you check your crossover?  looks like a stock one and you may as well take the time to check it out now.

I did not check it... as you see in the pics that the shield is cut i did not do that someone else did.. No matter what im running this one until i get my spare one rebuilt.. I have the jig all set up its just cutting it and welding the new in.. Its alot easier to talk about it than do it.. but im going to get it done quick b/c when i change the x-over out i can wrap it and wrap the DP since the wrap is on order..




On the other hand i finished bleeding the brakes last night and got the fuel lines all hooked up.. today i will be getting very close as i a putting my whole night towards working on this thing..

Well got the car Done today!!! my face currently  :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin:!! This Is the shit!!!  The 5spd is the way to go... The clutch is excellent the trans shifts smooth with pennzoil syncromesh in it and the brakes are awesome.. I have a few small things to fix up the reverse lights i might have the wires reversed the brake lights dont work horns dont work and the cooling fan stays on all the time.. guage cluster no temp it shows and all lights are on on the HUD and the HUD doesnt show the MPH just all lights are lit up all the time.. Tomorrow im going to get you guys pics and videos of it where it sits as of now.. I feel relieved.!!

That is awesome! Congrats, the sense of accomplishment easily outweighs the frustration of the build.

OK so heres 2 videos of the car..  right now i dont know how much boost im running i have to get a gauge put on the manifold to find out.. nothing is set at all yet just what it was at when put together.. i found out why i had no brake lights.. i forgot to plug the plug into the brake switch  :icon_rolleyes:.. i have to figurre out the reverse lights, y the horns blow the fuse and get a new gauage cluster.. maybe... the temp guage doesnt work and it has a new sensor for the guage..


let me know what u think

Looks and sounds good. It's a lot of work to do the 5 speed swap but it is definitely worth it. The engine spools so much quicker..  :icon_twisted:  Not to mention you get more hp to the wheels..  :icon_biggrin:

Adam,

I got that MBC that u suggested to me.. I cant get over 10 PSI out of the Autometer Gauge i have..  I have turned it and made several runs to test it and no change.. how much do you have to turn it for it to change the PSI? i have turned it about 2 turns and no change.. am i doing something wrong?

[89BlackTGP]

i have oil coming out of the oil breather.. the pic kinda shows the area where its wet..  i wiped it up before the pic.. I am also not running a hood as you can tell and there is oil all over the windshield like the blues brothers.. it sprays under boost while going into speed.. im thinking a PCV valve anyone confirm? If i find anything else out ill let ya know..

[meltboy11]

idk about pcv but I also leak oil pretty bad from my breather, I gota get a new one or try to seal it somehow

[89BlackTGP]

thats strange.. y would oil be coming out of the breather?? the filter is saturated in oil. hmmmm

[GPChief]

Had a similar problem with my hybrid (3X00) build, ran a vent line to the air intake from the PCV and problem was solved.

[89BlackTGP]

I don't understand. But on the 3.1 the Pcv goes to the bottom of the UIM and the vent goes to the intake.  I'm getting oil out of my vent filter. There's nowhere to pipe of in without modifying the charge pipes and I'm not willing to modify them any more than the BOV. I'm picking up a new pcv after work to try out. 5 bucks won't hurt if it doesn't help but it will be new.

Just thought about it it would go in the filter not charge pipes :icon_redface:.. But then oil would be in the intercooler and pipes be the turbo..ehh
