Thread: Question... NO

I tried that scotty, I didnt like the outcome, maybe because its super flex 1/0 and not like the video with more solid strand.

did you coat the bare wire first with solder? or use flux?

no flux no stick so good.

I couldnt tin the 1/0 because the so many strands. It wouldnt stay tight no matter how hard I squeezed or twisted it, so then it wouldnt fit in the lug. Yes flux on everything. Wire in, solder then tried making a little solder pot in one lug then jammed the wire in. I didnt like the out come of any of it.

sucks. use shrink tubes on the set screw type too, you dont want air to get to the wires, or they tarnish. aka dry wire. im not a fan of them set screw types at all.

Ya I got shrink tubes and dielectric grease on hand, she will be sealed to the best of my ability, set screw is the best I can do without going nuts.

The exhaust bolt I have been fearing, cross threaded it 3.5yrs ago, ***** came out like butter.

Headers out, you can see my flex pipe delete and replaced with a 3" 45°. I expected the rear to be a pita since everyone cries about it. I cant comment on the install because I put the header in the bay before I dropped the engine in. Take it out I just unbolted and lifted it straight out........

Test fit the turbo, **** thats tight in there. Removed the pcm so the turbo would be flat. Maybe I need to move alot of things this way and that, its tight by the brake booster, valve cover, and 2 pipes and the trans harness.

someone's been busy today.

you got a brake fluid warmer installed i see lol

haha ya tell me about it, tmw is wiggle pipe time, gain as much clearance then tighten down, then play with bumper cover removal, oh joy

the joy comes later on.....

Monte brake booster...flexible trans dipstick tube...turbo blanket and exhaust wrap the doodoo out of the downpipe. Should be good, ya?

I wont touch the booster, if I wanted that project I would do alot more under the hood. Have the turbo blanket, perhaps I shall wrap the downpipe then... maybe, I will think of something!

chris99gtp made it out alive after picking up the sd headers, see I dont kill everyone!

After the i/c I re routed my hid wires, played with some crap, did this and that. The last 2 pipes are not on yet, nor is the tbody, They wont be secured until I put the computer back in its little hole.

Fun stuff isn't it? It was easier pulling it off lol
