Getting er done, again!! (56k hang yourself)

[BobbyBoy]

So I had my car with an SR in it for a year. Broke off 4 exhaust manifold studs, and with a blown turbo, this happened. Everything black, the head, block tranny, wiring harness, vacuum lines, engine bay, everything ...







Then it was time for the yearly motorpull/cleanup.

















Everything was sandblasted, and cleaned, then added a few parts, fixed the studs, rattle canned the bay, and got a few things sent off to the powdercoater. Oh yea and what it really takes to do an S15 turbo is, reclock air inlet, need new oil/water lines, or bend hard lines , new oil outlet, or slot the stock T25 ones, new longer oil outlet hose, and the charge air outlet is now 45 degrees insted of 90, so the hotpipe need to be modified. I guess you learn by experience not message boards.

Other than that and a few other stripped bolts around the car, things weren't too hard, and everything was done at blu808's garage. Only a few things were done outside the garage. Tig welding done by Dan G. at DGR fabrcation in Santa Clara, and powdercoating by the guys at SRS refinishing down the street from DGR. Everything else was done by Luke and I. The powdercoating color is candy purple, but looks dark blue in the photos. In the sun, its like a black chrom velvety purple, you gotta se eit in person, pics don't do justice.
