i think i might end up getting the "built for boost" across the front of my fuel rail...

here are a few pics from today...not much difference, but a little
it now has the black oil pan, plug wires, dirty alternator, and some other junk

the idler pulleys should be in wednesday so hopefully i can have the motor redy to drop in thursday or friday

yeah but it works and you wont see it anyways......and i dont know how i would clean it...i guess thats really the only thing that isnt "new"
this morning i started on my wire harness....removed some of the plugs i didnt need anymore, and changed the fuel injectors plugs, starter plug, and alternator plugs over to the 95 style....gonna go outside in a bit and finish re-wirelooming all the wires so it looks nice and purdy....then tomorrow i can get it redy to drop in....then all i need to do is find the time to get it in there since i have to change an axel seal on a friends neon, and then do a motor/tranny swap on the wifes g-ma's buick

hopefully this weekend i can hear it run

the T fitting i made from spending an hour at farm and fleet going through all the different type of pipe fittings until i found some that worked....its actually about 6 different fittings.

im not gonna run any coolant lines....only the oil....the turbo doesnt NEED coolant lines as long as you et it cool down before turning off the motor...therefor i need to get a turbo timer eventually...

the braided line i actually a nitrous line that i used from my old nitrous kit.....when i got rid of the kit, i told the kid that i was keeping 1 of the lines....

if i can get an engine hoist today, then i plan on dropping in the motor this afternoon....if not then it will have to wait until saturday afternoon.[:@]hopefully this weekend i will have a video on here of it running...then it will only be a another day or so until it gets driving...hopefully
