Here is the rest I am done gor the day..

This is taking longer than I thought. LOL this is hard using no sand paper..




Here is the painted Rack mounts

 

wow, that stuff cleans like a dream. I like to see im not the only perfectionist. Its those little things that i like, and admire when a car is built, even if i don't like the car. Looks like everything is slowly comming together, and really well i must say. so whats the name of your favorite stripper? (the stuff you used on your engine bay i mean) and don't say "Kandi" or "Lexi"

 

LOL.. It is "Aircraft removal" available at Checker auto parts.. haha..

p.s. Nice bike.. My 06' R6 is almost done being assembled out of the crate. (assuming thats you and yours.. LOL

 

hey s/c 30 i am wanting to make my turbo oil line look like yours any help into were i should buy mine from ? and what parts i will need? let mek now paul thanks , ken

 

Well mine is S/C oil feed off of my VW.. so you can look on www.vwvortex.com in the corrodoclassifieds for a G60 oil feed line.. I am still looking for a good site with banjo bolts and fittings..

 

nice! so that's what bare metal looks like without rust... its pretty

I made a couple brackets. One for fuel injector wires, another for the stock FPR. I cleaned up the distributor, and broke a 2nd thermostat housing. Hopefully this third one doesn't have any issues. The j-pipe is on and I checked torque on all the manifold bolts. Its getting pretty close for me... installation day is coming.

 

Here is some pics.. I found out you can put this **** in a spray bottle.. WOOO HOOO paper mache' Z This is after 5 minutes.. I will never sand again..

 

HERE THEY ARE MINUTES LATER..

 

Chem stripper was actually something I enjoyed when I worked @ the body shop. Beats the hell outta sanding. You gunna use Veri-Prime or some sort of e-coat before priming?

 

I used some sort of stripper on furniture when I worked at a furniture repair place. It would strip off the old clearcoat and stain. It was nasty stuff. It would burn your skin if you got any on you. Even if you didn't get any on your skin, you could feel the warmth of it through the thick rubber gloves we used... yikes! I hated working with it.

 

i hope your wearing gloves while stripping that paint, that stripper will leave a nasty little rash after a while.

 

No clue.. I dont do body work.. LOL.. I have a friend that owns one so I take all my vars to him to get ish done for free..

And gloves dont help this **** will eat right thru them

 

Well Since Bleach isnt updating I must step in (once again) j/k
Just some pics of my almost bare *** engine bay.. I figure by tomorrow I will be done completly, Saturday I will toe to friends body shop to get it painted "Polar Silver" and the turbo oil drain is a night mare and a half.. I cant get the right damn fittings.. one of the days that will get done hopefully..

 

Nice dude, that is looking sweet. And nice color choice, polar silver? That should look tight in the engine bay. Keep it up man, if you like pm me your phone number. I lost it, with my last phone.

 

I'm not going to paint my engine bay. I'm just going to wrap it in aluminum foil.

 

Yeah You will get way better radio reception I do

 

Here are the final PICS of the paint break down *cheers* The next pics I post the engine bay will be painted..




Took off the MAF meter tray and accidently drilled through.


Long list of projects.. The Z is all the way in front there (top of the List)

 

Wash That V-dub Once In A While There S/c, Your Disgracing Germanys Sheetmetal. Have You Tried Tal Strip 2 In Gel Form, It Stays Where Its Put And Requires Less Aplications And Works Way Better, Make Sure You Wash The Metal Down With Gun Wash, Then Sand Before Even Thinking About Primer, That Tal Strip Will Keep Eating The Metal Until Flushed Out With Solvent.

 

Well I am still working but here is what has been done so far... Enjoy..

Found some extra Turbos and my BOV


Finished oil drain Line


Billet altenator ARM.. Need to get a new altenator though..


Black an chrome thermo housing


Lost a dowel pin for the flywheel


New rebuilt Tranny ready for install

 

New high performance 185/75/14 tires for use with 450hp turbo engine.

 

Bleach Wouldnt See The Smoke? Must Because Bleach Is Ahead!! Thems Are Fryer Tyers

 

I'm having other issues with my daily driver... progress on the turbo engine will be delayed a little.

 

Here is what I am working on today.. Basically I towed the Z to my friend he then told me he cannot paint the engine bay and I had to take it back To my house and make it perfect.. (SO PISSED THAT DAY). In the mean time I slept for almost 3 days straight due to surgery all is better and I am back at it..

Painted head light holders and motor mounts



Figured I may need dowel pins hehe


Took out brake booster and master cylinder finishing up removing paint


About to remove drive shaft and exhaust (going 2.5 all the way back for hopes of more torque)

 

Dude, try to get a 2.75" or even a 3" exhaust on there.

A good fabricator can pull it off and your turbo will appreciate it...

 

See I was thinking 3".. hmm I will cross that bridge when the motor is in.. The outlet on my T/4 is 2.5 do you know of any flanges that start 3" for the T/4?? If I am goin to do it I would like it to be the same diameter from beginning to end.
