Nice job dude! Seems like a lot of work to erase someone else's work to rice it out...

Oil return for the Turbo? Looks way too long and narrow.

Yes, that is the oil return for the turbo. That picture is just a mock up of how it looks pieced together. Haven't had a chance to cut it up to the right size.

It's a -10 size. The fittings are very huge compare to regular red/blue or shadow series.

This needs an update. Here's what I've been working on.

Parts that I've been gathering up.

I've decided to only run Russel Proclassic because they are easier to work with. Oil cooler lines

Sent out the ECU to get socketed. Got it back and installed the link chip.

Egay o2 dump. Temp for now.

Let's work on the drivetrain side. New starter plate.

Fidanza flywheel torqued to 102lbs with ARP flywheel bolts.

Competition 6 puk sprung disc

Aligned

Competition stage 4 pressure plate

This makes me happy. It's been almost 3 years since she's been alive.

SIck! looking good. I know how you feel when the motor and tranny are in

**goodhart** · 03-31-2010

This thing is looking damn nice!

**LingLing** · 03-31-2010

Damn! Great work! That has come a long way!

tehehodi · 03-31-2010

Is that wrinkle black on the VC?

b00sted_spyder · 04-01-2010

Thanks guys! Yes that is wrinkle black on the valve cover. I've always had a thing for wrinkle valve covers. I've got like 4 other spare valve covers. 1 is wrinkle red, 1 is black, and other 2 are stock colors. No more wrinkles for me but I do want a shaved polished one, white one, gold one, and a purple one.

Hopefully sometime within the 2 weeks I'll have the wiring all done. I still have to order an OMNI MAP sensor, GM IAT sensor with pigtails, and a few little parts before I can start her up. I can't wait til that day.

sleepydsm · 04-02-2010

What is your plan for the wiring?

Engine bay looks really good.

sleepydsm · 04-02-2010

get rid of that 1g intake manifold

b00sted_spyder · 07-14-2010

Sorry, I've been too busy to update this. It's almost there. Just gotta find the small errors before start up. I wish I have money for JMF drag intake manifold and a purple Tial BOV. And then a top mount turbo setup with built trans. Maybe next year's tax return.

I will eventually switch over to speed density once I get that bung welded onto my intercooler piping. And the wires hanging out there are for temporary until I get some nice sleeves.

awd-drifter · 07-15-2010

*thumbs up*

engine bay looks friggin' spotless!! I like the wrinkled valve cover.

Constant_Project21 · 07-15-2010

That is one DAMN clean engine bay. Props dude.

Chim55117 · 07-15-2010

Looking good as usual! Give me a call before the first start up!

**goodhart** · 03-15-2011

Any updates dude?

b00sted_spyder · 03-15-2011

Guess I should update. The car itself is just sitting in the garage until it's warmer out. I got her started up a few times last fall. Picked up some RPF1's to be like everyone else. They are stupid light. Haven't really done anything this winter but collect some parts. Right now I'm still trying to get a catch can setup. Also looking for a sheet metal intake manifold. I need to get my intercooler pipe welded for the Tial flange bov and IAT sensor. Trying to get rid of the blue silicone coupler and getting all black. I've got that broken bolt on the lower control arm that I still need to remove. Anyone have any tips? Anyways here are pictures.

Goodhart's coil pack relocation

Gooodhart's rebuilt throttle body

K&N filter

EDM tail lights

Tial Q bov

Rare discontinue HKS cam gears. Catch the theme yet? Yeah, HKS timing belt to come soon.

The car itself before winter came.

**goodhart** · 03-15-2011

That thing is lookin tits dude. If you have a 1g head, I still have's John's SMIM that would be pretty kick ass on that setup also. What turbo is that anyways? I noticed it was a Schwitzer/Borg Warner
