My supercharger blew a bubble. Yeah, i'm not even kidding. I'm out in the garage working on the engine and i happen to glance down at the snout and pulley and at the end of the bolt/nut holding the pulley on, there is a bubble forming and it is getting bigger. My hands are loaded in tans fluid so i'm searching for a rag trying to clean my hands and grab my phone to snap a pic when the bubble pops. Yeah, wtf. Its humid out so i assume it has to do w/ that.

if you had it set up pulley down case on to the rotors still it can leak out the shaft end, when on the engine the fluid level dont get that high, it just gets splashed around by the gears in there. so drain it. clean i put it on the shelf till your ready for it.

Got the greatest surprise of this build so far...so I cant ID particular model year engines by subtle changes in parts used. What i can tell in my research is that in 97-03 model years the 03 trans had a diff pressure manifold solenoid. So when i cracked open the side cover of my "03" engine/trans project today, to my dismay, i found it has the 97-02 solenoid. So the guy i bought it from misrepresented it as an 03. Tried calling him to confront him on it, no answer. Good news is, motor and trans have all been clean so far....

Got the shift kit installed tonight. Side cover off. Things look good there. Chains measured out ok. 4th gear replaced. Pics to follow.
Broken spring inside what I believe was called the 4th gear accumulator...
4th gear, kind of a crappy pic, but you get the idea.

Was it something i said? Dead thread. Waiting on a channel plate gasket and different pressure manifold solenoid to finish the trans up. Then get the top end back on and drop it in.

Damn it, well i'm going to have to plant paraphernalia and stolen weapons on all of you and then arrest all of you...so ha.

more corruption, just like the busted spring, nice fine btw, you would have never known it was broken unless you opened it up.
07-13-2014
Lol. Yeah, glad i found that. Opened it up to put the "extra"springs from the shift kit in there.

Working on the TB. Need quick answers if possible... Can i eliminate this "tower structure" for the MAF and just leave that MAF hole at the top or does the whole thing have to stay? There is a plate on the back i removed w/ two phillips screws and the MAF hole goes thru and this plate seems to channel the air it senses down and out the back. I'd have to get rid of that plate too so the air would flow straight thru the MAF.

dont touch a thing in side the maf. clean it up good, thats it.
07-13-2014
Can this bottom part be cut off and leave the upper where the MAF goes? Like i said tho, if i were to cut off the bottom, the maf would flow straight thru bc that lil plate on the back would have to come off...

NO! it will never run right again.
if you do anything to it you will need a custom tune.
07-13-2014
Like more custom than the tune i'm going to need just to get this thing running anyways? I quit for the night. Smoothed down some of the rough edges on that thing but left it there. Thanks for the quick responses Scottydogggs
07-13-2014
yes, more then the canned tune that will get your new engine working right.
07-13-2014
Well, i was going to tune out the Egr and rear o2 but nonetheless, its done. Appreciate the help.
07-14-2014
TEP!

if you did anything with the throttle body you'd switch to the 99+ MAF sensor and completely knock out that center section and clean it all up. porting the throttle body is pretty easy, but you're almost guaranteed to break through the casting and have to fill in places with epoxy/jb weld/etc.
but as stated, you'll have to get the car tuned for it or it'll run all kinds of dumb.
