i ran around trying to get it to relearn the idle and i boosted on it a few times and it ran good and pulled like it should, didn't overheat or do anything weird.

seems good to go now. we'll see tho

also pulled the chevelle out and went for a cruise 

i also bought a metal radiator cap whatever the fuck they call that piece of shit, housing or whatever.

it was only a couple bucks and it looks good and seems a lot better than the plastic pos. i think my problem might have been the caps never went on really well and it seems like it might have been leaking pressure. whatever i dunno. i did a lot of shit. but basically it runs really well now like it did before i started having problems.

i was going to go to a u-pull-it type place and get one, they only want like 39.99 for intake manifolds but i wanted to bring my dog and didn't want to leave him in the truck for a while in the big city while i pulled it.

i found a guy on craigslist selling some parts from a engine swap. so i was gunna get a manifold from him for $50

he shows up with the bed of a dakota full of parts for free. i 'm like shietttttttttttttt

i was good and only took a few things beyond the manifold. he had a full engine gasket kit so i didnt even have to buy gaskets lol.

i bought a 1/4 thick plenum plate off ebay for $40. it looks good.

painted manifold cause it was pretty haggard with grease and whatever.

basically i took it apart and the plenum was laying there lol. i can't believe it even ran. it would rev to 3k by itself and blow huge clouds of smoke

well the high temp jbweld plenum to intake did not work.

if you're ready this, don't try it. its leaking massively already huge cloud of smoke and oil all over the intake. it just happened all of a sudden when the engine was revving down with a lot of vacuum

 

you just didnt use enough

Prep of surfaces with 2 cans brakecleen, I've had decent luck with harbour frieght epoxy putty for or for really hot stuff i.e. exhaust, I use:

yeah i looked at the oil feed line and its fine,

looked into the manifold through the throttle body and lots of oil in there lol.

i took intake off and the plenum bolts some were really loose, i'm sure it was lifting the plenum under boost. tons of oil in the intake and all over the plenum lol

i jbwelded the plenum plate thing right to the manifold with some high temp jbweld

i think i blew the plenum gasket i was having fun with it yesterday and it hit around 11psi and after idling for a minute it starts to blow oil smoke. it also idling rougher lol. drives normally otherwise

it doesn't smoke while driving or boosting you can't see smoke

i'll check the feed line on the turbo i dont remember looking at the fitting but i'm pretty sure its one that is pinched down to restrict flow

if the plenum gasket is blown im just going to jbweld it together.
