I extended the deadline lol even if it was done 2 days ago I would'nt want to drive it to Kc so soon and I'm tired of rushing things and not getting done all that I want to. I really don't have much to do now just put the heads on a little bit more wireing and thats it oh and vaccum line stuff.
some questions I got tho
42.5lb injectors how do they go in? do conector sides stick out towards you or towards the sc? and are they like really hard to press down in there?
then also what do I do to get coolant back into stuff I feel like just filling up the rad and resivor and waiting for the pump to suck it down isn't the best way? should I fill up the LIM from the t stat houseing and then fill up the hoses the best I can ontop of that?
also is it safe to start without the sc belt to check if it runs and if anything leaks?
and what signs should I look for for leaks and stuff? other than the obvious stuff?
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
Use vaseline on the inj. o-rings and pop /clip them onto the fuel rail. I would just leave the connectors facing away from the supercharger. Tuck the inj. harness behind the rail if you want it clean. You can always unclip them and rotate them while it's still bolted down, given you put some vaseline on so it doesn't rip an o ring.
The intercooler system, you want to fill that up with your T fill or fitting. Lift the hose up or at your highest point or where you put the breather cap on and start filling. Just alternate filling that and the car radiator until things seem to be full. Open the breather up on the t-stat and start the car, once it runs through the breather tighten it back up. Sometimes it helps to jack up the front of the car and do this. After a few cycles of that and topping off the IC system, it should be free of air.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
x2 on the vaseline on the injector o-rings. as for coolant, i was told to fill the radiator, unscrew the bleeder screw on the t-stat housing, and start the car, adding coolant until you see a steady stream coming out of the screw. and it's fine to start without the sc belt

that reminds me the clips don't really hold the injectors onto the rail their on there if you tug on them they pop off
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
The clips aren't heavy duty by any means, you're actually just supposed to push in on them to release the injector, you can see the lip/groove on the injectors that the clip is supposed to ride against to keep from popping out. Once everything is clipped in, you can take your time putting the rail on, aligning injectors with holes, and start securing them. Once the rail is bolted down, the injectors won't really have anywhere to go. Take your time and don't force anything.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
headers on, oil changed and car is off the jack stands seems so low lol... Does the alternator brace go back on? I don't reall see a way for it to go back on
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
No thats stage one weight reduction.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
not necessray. i couldnt find a spot for it either. or all the engine pull brackets for that matter
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
Alternator bracket...both engine pull brackets...ABS bracket...need I go on? All those dumb things need to come off.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
Got a few questions here
http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/IMAG0856.jpg
this sucker has always just hung out next to the alternator pluged into nothing but I think it plugs into
http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/IMAG0857.jpg
the little black thing on the fuel rail
and any reason I shouldn't just chop off this connector and solder the wires together? just trying to get all the extra wire and bulkiness out of there
http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/IMAG0859.jpg
also this thing on the fuel lines, does it stay or go?
http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/IMAG0861.jpg
and I forget where I unpluged this guy from I know its around the bottom on the passenger side somewhere
http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/IMAG0855.jpg
Heres pretty much what its going to look like I already ran all the wires except the front injectors and their running over from the passenger side now

a laptop fell and I stuck my foot under it to catch it and break its fall which I did but it hit it on its side and hurt a lot for something that weighs 5lbs that happend back in July lol
so vaccum lines... I think I have 1 of them and thats it...
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
the thing on the fuel line is part of your evap system, it stays. and the last sensor is probably a crank or cam position sensor. it acts like it won't reach, but it does. feel around down there a little bit. as for vac lines, one gets ran from the map sensor to a T on the end of the lim, and the other end of that T goes to the... evap thing i mentioned if i remember right. and after that it's supposed to go to the bbv and then to the throttle body. there's a nice diagram in my build thread

yea I saw that in your thread so do I just go and buy some vac line and make my own or what?
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
yeah, i think i picked up like 6 feet and some vacuum T's. it doesn't look pretty, but it works
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
On the alt bracket. I use the 99+. Yeah..I do.
heck..had a 2.25" IC on the Bonne and still used it. Just egged the hole out a bit.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
awesome thing about moving the fuse and relay box inside is that aftermarket wiring other stuff is super easy now
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
Did you figure out your other plugs/vac lines then?
The one pictured by the BBV is the bbv solenoid, usually if you unplug the connector to this it limits the car to 4-5psi. I would definitely have it hooked up along with the vac lines, there will be one open vac port to free air on that, I'd have to double check which one.
The other is evap like said above, you can disconnect this an cut/plug the vac line coming from the firewall. Make sure it stays plugged. Paul will have to delete the codes from the PCM. Paul is pretty handy with this stuff as well if you have questions.
Re: Taz's Offical Summer/Fall build list.
figured out all the plugs just need to do vac and fuel lines and all idlers and tensioner
