i have more pics but i'll upload them later

 

crack down and put the rest of it together!!!

looks good...

 

wow coming along pretty quickly huh.

 

while it's apart, you should take it up the stairs now and assemble it in the garage.

Just a thought.

 

Seriously, who wears white socks with black toes?!!?!?

 

Motor in a basement, is that like having a ship in a bottle?

 

hhe yeah, you should start to bring it up stairs already

 

I DO! whats wrong with white and black socks!

Motor is looking good fuzzy, cant wait til its done.

 

yo guyyyyyyyyy....don't hate on my michael jackson socks :laugh1:

 

If your pics have toes, they will be made fun of!

 

so thats whats been keeping you in huh? nice work man the warm wether is commin get to it

 

Looking good.

 

nice!

hey, isn't it almost a straight line from your basement down your driveway if you remove the front door? breaking in the benen tow hook ftw!

 

Looks good, motar build weekend?


Looks like I'mma finish before you (just keeping your motivation up )

 

^haha..i'm down, but i'm not doing the valve springs :finger: :laugh1:

got some new parts in today, i think it's safe to say that the "budget build" went out the window..haha..

picked up a tunertoys stainless steel oil line kit, and a real Greddy type-RS blow off valve

my oil feed setup, bought the sammish oil filter adapter and then connected the feed from there, the other two ports on the adapter are going to be used for the oil pressure and oil temp gagues.

feed line:



kit:



here's the return line that goes back into the oil pan:



this is probably one of the nicest peices i've gotten for this build, the greddy type-RS blow off valve (it's gonna be LOUAD)





also with the help of trenell, we got the bottom end all finished up, siliconed up the oil pump and rear main seal and serviced the oilpump too. it's pretty much ready to go!

 

where did you get the bolts for the oil pick up and windage tray? i was just talking to Dave about it since i'm sending my bottom end to the machine shop this weekend (hopefully) and i need all the silly little hardware. The gods are really against me on this one, i've had no luck so far.

 

If you've already got the sammich adapter, spend a few more bucks and get an oil cooler. Cheap insurance.....

 

^i was thinking about it, does it bring down oil temps alot? i'd imagine that the turbo will heat the oil quite a bit. i think i might get one after it's all up and running and see what my oil temp is like first.


and mark, i bought alllll the bolts brand new straight from honda.

 

yes

 

looks awesome man.

 

tapped my oil pan for the oil return tonight:

 

love the miniminlistic ipod look lol

its the designer engine

 

wow man im impressed. but is that wastegate going to clear the engine bay?

 

^^^ i was just thinking the same thing man

fuzzy ur setup looks sick man....with all the money ur spending watch out for scumbag theives

 

yea it'll clear, because i'm gonig to the 1/2 rad and the WG will sit like, past the rad support.

 

i'll pay you $20 if you can somehow rig a Kazoo to your BOV

 

my friend put one of those turkey call things on his bov. it was awesome

 

Who gave you the idea to just tap-n-tape-n-screw the oil return fitting?

Weld on the fitting...or at least JB weld it!

 

damn fuzzy that looks hot

 

yea i re-did it, it ain't go nowhere now. :*****:
