**bryst06** · 10-04-2009, 02:31 PM

Getting around on working on the car today.. Installing Oil Cooler and other bits and pieces.

**bryst06** · 10-09-2009, 06:58 PM

Progress...

Oil cooler mounted. I have the charge pluming done from the sand blaster, next week going to drop them off to get powder coated. Need to order a return oil line and finish taping the pan.
Installing the IM tonight and hope to drop the motor in...well see thou

I need to get a catch can.. any recommendations?

**iceguyb14** · 10-09-2009, 07:21 PM

my weapon r one seems to work well.. not expensive either. and it looks like it will hold a lot of oil before it needs to be changed.

**bryst06** · 10-09-2009, 08:13 PM

link?

**illinipo** · 10-09-2009, 08:31 PM

So... what was the story with the old turbo? Why did you get a new one?

Also where does FS get that fancy compressor housing...? I want a gt28r but I dont want to have to deal with the silly 2- and 3-bolt flanges.

**bryst06** · 10-09-2009, 08:35 PM

old turbo is in good condition.. it has 80K plus miles on it. my thought was new motor new turbo, new.. new.. new... that way I wouldnt have to worry about replacing it soon down the road.. Id start fresh with almost all parts.

**illinipo** · 10-09-2009, 08:37 PM

so what youre saying is.... your gt28r is for sale...?

But I kind of want new too lol

Ahh yes, they are fancy aren't they?

We have one of these turbos to sell if you are interested.

**illinipo** · 10-09-2009, 08:44 PM

Yes quite interested indeed. I'll be in touch in a while. Lots better than getting flange-to-hole adapters for these guys:

**bryst06** · 10-18-2009, 11:39 PM

**bryst06** · 10-19-2009, 05:45 PM

UPDATE:

Pluming is getting powder coated on Thursday and be able to pick it up on Friday.

Today I orderd a Return Oil Line..Hope to have it to me by Friday.

Getting close to getting it all together this weekend or the following.

**bryst06** · 10-23-2009, 05:35 PM

Well I picked up the pluming.

I had it sand blasted for free and painted for 35$.

Oil Return line came in today..

Picking up new strut bearings tomorrow at the dealer.

-Motor is going in tonight/tomorrow.

Well lets hope

Stay tuned...

**Egz** · 10-24-2009, 07:03 PM

I was catching up, but then hit a snag and had to order a new water pump and throwout bearing. Got to wait for those before I can drop it in.

**bryst06** · 10-24-2009, 07:10 PM
