My sol has been on bricks for 5 years waiting for a new throwout bearing. I am putting a turbo on now too. After sitting for 5 years what all do I need to do before I start it up with a turbo? It was in sound running condition except for the throwout bearing. All I can think of is fresh coolant, oil change and a few gallons of fresh 93+ petro. Or should I get some gas,oil and coolant treatment additives or seafoam? (putting in new fuel pump and injectors)

 

It took you 5 years to get a throwout bearing?? WTF

 

probably made it himself

 

It was my dads del and he has a few hondas and he just never got around to puttin the bearing in. I got tired of seeing that potential on bricks and talked him into selling it to me. But I still need to know if there is anything I should do before starting it up after a 5 year nap and adding a turbo.

 

new oil and prime it to it makes pressure

check belts for cracks

i would put a can of octane booster if theres gas in it

 

is there a lot of 5yr old gas in the tank?

 

I am replacing all the belts. The gas tank is half full. So I should add octane booster and maybe few gallons of fresh gas?? How do i prime oil?

 

drain the gas and put fresh gas or fill it up with the old with octane booster

take the ecu fuse out from the engine bay and crank it for 10sec then let then starter rest and crank it again

 

drain gas and change fuel filter forsure, throw old gas away start fresh, wouldnt hurt to take valve cover off and pour oil all over valve train, change oil after you get it running
