im gonna have to ride the whole 3 miles away to your crib and see how youre running the lines for your boost solenoid. im just a bit confused. because when you told me you purchased 3 fittings the other day i started thinking and im thinking youd need more than that...

UPDATE:

got some 10-w30 tonight, filled her up, slapped some bkr7e's in it for now and...
Started the car tonight. checked for leaks etc. all good.

cant get all the air out of the cooling system yet just letting it idle because there is an air pocket near the tstat and it wont open, also the neighbors dont like loud cars at 9am shaking their house too.

but all is well. put the top up for winter, shut the windows, cranked up some finger eleven, then shut her down..

w0000ttttt

why such a large turbo for only 500whp? was it just left over from your other failures and you just decided to use it?

because if i was going for a max of 500whp i would have chosen a 30r or a bw s256 or s258....or a t3t4 60 trim

he plans on building the motor in the future. this way he wont have to upgrade later. and theres nothing wrong with driving a 67 on the street. im sure there are better options for lower hp goals but in the future hes looking for more than 5xx

ahh ok gotcha that makes since then but i still think he should have went with a different mani especially if he wants more than 500 in the future because logs just suck and are the least efficient
