It was raining really bad today so i did the keepers and had to take a beer break. Didnt think they would be such a pain in my ass.

Here is my small ass basement/storage unit.

Damn dude, I don't know how you can work on That thing in that small of a space without loosing anything. Looks like a hot fucking mess. Keep up the good work.

LOL I like your garage. Looks like my previous one. By that I mean my apartment on the second floor. That's where I built my first motor...

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #37 on:** November 24, 2014, 01:56:55 PM »

I was thinking about turning my spare bedroom into a shop for the rebuild. At this point I'm just waiting for parts to finally come in.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #38 on:** January 24, 2015, 01:44:47 AM »

Well? It together yet?

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #39 on:** January 24, 2015, 04:19:09 AM »

Not yet.
The German shop i took my block to, doesn't like Americans and he took 4 weeks to do my block. After installing everything i noticed my piston in number one was offset. I took it apart and come to find out i twisted the rod. I should have the rods here by Wednesday and then i can have it running by Friday. I have finished all the electrical, the block is in the car and the head is finished.

You should have paid his ass in american nickels. Then told them they're from your uncle's nickel slots in the whore house he has in Vegas. Tip: cover them with honey first.

Kool, my family never got stationed that far east, we mainly stationed near Frankfurt and Mainz or north near Bremerhaven.

Keep in mind I lived there during the Cold War, where we had sort and medium nuclear tip missiles to out at in our back yard.

To this day I still miss hearing A-10 thunderbolt 2 and F-15s flying over our housing areas.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #45 on:** January 27, 2015, 12:16:10 AM »

That's what i miss about Korea, you cold always hear the A-10's and F-15's. My unit I'm in now use to be at Frankfurt during the cold war.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #46 on:** January 29, 2015, 03:57:37 PM »

well i got the rods in teh mail today and i installed the entire bottom end and put the head on the car. Tomorrow i will hook up all the hoses and connect all the electrical. Shooting for saturday afternoon to fire it up.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #47 on:** January 30, 2015, 01:02:50 PM »

So i put the cams in and started on the electrical and ran all the hoses, but then the snow started and we are currently at 2 inchs and the weather is calling for a little more. Plan is still to get it all done tomorrow.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 31, 2015, 09:14:46 PM »

IS it done?

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #49 on:** February 01, 2015, 04:55:32 AM »

I will post some pics up today, but its not done. Everything is installed i have the valve lash left and i need to put all the fluids in the car. I would be able to work on it more if it wasn't 25 degree's outside and then 20 mph gust.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #50 on:** February 01, 2015, 01:19:46 PM »

As you can see i got a lot done today. Now i would have finished if w didn't need to go to the emergency room. Pregnant wife was freaking out for something that's normal. First kid and she freaks out about everything. By the time we got back it was dark and i need a nap before i watch the Superbowl, since it starts at 1230am. Hoping to get a few hours of sleep and i will finish it tomorrow. (heard that before) I plugged the battery in and there were no CEL codes. That's good.

Left to do:
Tighten crank bolt
Valve Lash
Turbo Vac hoses
Tighten the timing belt
Finish wiring the MSD
Fill with fluids

Not bad at all!

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #52 on:** February 01, 2015, 04:00:07 PM »

yeah, and it wasn't suppose to snow, but i just looked outside and we are at another inch already.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #53 on:** February 02, 2015, 10:44:00 AM »

Fuck the cold, I cant wait to get back to the states where i will have a garage. I cant feel my feet and my hands are really dried out.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #54 on:** February 02, 2015, 01:11:36 PM »

But it's running? Way to do work and get it done!!! I've done all new brakes/lines/disk brake conversion on a my truck (64 ford) into the wee hours of the morning when it was 19Â° outside and I was sitting on concrete and I could feel the heat literally getting sucked out of my body.

99gsrturbo · « **Reply #55 on:** February 02, 2015, 01:52:35 PM »

its been around 25 here with 10-20 mph winds, and the non stop snow wasnt really helping. It is done now i need to do some tuning and figure out why my computer isn't datalogging and my lc-2 isn't seeing the o2 sensor
