Haven't updated this thread in a while, figured I would. The car is just about ready for me to try & turn it over for the first.
I got Cerakote's air cure coating since I didnt have an oven to bake everything in. Let me tell you, people weren't lying when they say this stuff smelllllssss. WEAR A MASK!
My make-shift rack to hold everything & the finished product + some accidental scuffs from my rack falling over....go figure haha.
As of last night I finally have the turbo kit heat wrapped also & bolted up, injectors in, wiring harness all hooked up, oil feed/ return line routed, waste gate & dump tube in, belts on, radiator back in, power steering cooler installed, water pump heat ports blocked. I also tapped the top of the water pump for the steam vent tube since thatch the highest point in my cooling system.
I still have a a few little things to do to the car before I try to start it.
Mount my boost controller solenoid, wire up the gauges for the wideband & boost controller, bleed the clutch, make a mount for my dipstick so it doesn't pop out etc.
Hopefully my next update I'll have the car running!
