Well after months and months of deciding to part her out, then keep her , then part her out , I have decided that im gonna keep the car because i have too much time and money in it to let go to waste. Although i have already gotten rid of most of my accessories and some parts. This just means I will replace with bigger and better items.

After the recent accident of her Blowing up in my face, i have decided to finally put her back together. The damage caused by the over heating was minimal but sucked. The only things hurt by the overheating issue ( other then my Face at the time ) was the thermostat and it cause one of my balance shaft bearings to tear in half and fall out. I though it was my balance shaft that may have warped or split but when i pulled the oil pan off the bearing was laying in the bottom. There are no metal shavings ( thank god ) and im pretty sure everything else is in normal condition. I did install a new head gasket and a different cylinder head just to be safe.

I should have it back up and goin this weekend, but i need to know if my turbo gismo is gonna work. If not, i will have to find me a nice 14b to use for the time being. I still have my exhaust and most of my other mods. The only things i sold were the Joe P. MBC i had and my 16g setup. Also, my headlights and my leather interior. nothing that isnt easily replaced.

Ill get more into depth with the story this weekend after i get her running again....

thanks for looking......

just an fyi in case you missed it, that hose coming down off the turbo looks to be pinched off due to sharp angle (oil feed?).  Would hate to see that nice shiny homegrown turbo in a melted pile smile.gif

yea i know, i havnt replaced it with a different one yet but the crease isnt pinching the hose all the way off. its about a 1/2 inch ID hose and there is still plenty of room for the oil to flow.

thanks anyways......

P.S. thats the oil RETURN......
