I think this weekend I'll my laying some primer and then next week hopefully some paint before I go back to school. The roof comes Friday!! I'm thinking of building my head also this winter with the extra money so if anyone is selling valves, springs, retainers, cams let me know.

 

Check the Ls Turbo thread a guy like 3 to 5 pages back was getting rid of his head parts, i think for cheap to!!

 

Sorry for the lack of updates, I haven't done much recently I've been back at school for the last 2 months and I've been helping the old man with his beast of a car. But here is a shitty picture of the roof. Hopefully I can paint it this weekend!! and the last one might be my new turbo.. haha

 

Very nice keep it up...

 

here is a shitty picture of the roof. Haven't made it home much, my dad had 2 operations since school started and he is the painter so I've been waiting on him.

 

hey guys, finally pulled the teg out from storage, started doing some work this weekend. Polished my charge pipes, and got my wheels powdercoated instead of spray paint.

 

looks good. keep up the good work!!!

 

I was wondering you guys with catch cans do you guys get rid of your pcv or what?

 

Awesome build.

What tubular manifold is that? Very interested in that.

 

thanks man, I think it is a onefab. They are not around anymore I got it from a shop. It sat around for a couple years.

 

Well that sucks lol. Thanks though.

Keep us updated on the progress

 

can anyone help me out with my catch can/pcv? How should I block it off?

 

I seen someone use a rubber piece I would also like to find out how to find it too

 

I was told to either run a hose from the pcv to the ground or to a catch can and plug the nipple on the manifold. or plug the valve cover and cap the nipple.

 

Awesome build man, that's lucky with that insurance claim! Keep up the good work

 

Thanks man! just waiting on the weather so I can paint and well be good to go!!

 

I'm going to do my body work once my build is done, did you have any bad rust issues?

 

there was a spot on the passenger rear quarter, that had maybe a spot as big as a quarter other than that none what so ever.

 

Ah nice, good stuff!

 

dirty thats a twisted ram style, i just saw someone making it cuz ive been looking around to upgrade my chinese ram, unfortunately i cant remember where lol. but i ws looking through, spoolin, go auto, full race and other quality places so i know there out there somewhere. lots of chinese ones too. there is a few different styles too.

 

Yeah, I've seen a couple on ebay just like this. But before I bought it I looked over the welds for penetration, and quality. The metal was thick and the welds were good.

 

remove black box from the back of the block. install freeze plug from b&r (or whom ever) block all the ports. i would recommend installing at least a fitting in the back of the block for venting/draining of the crankcase pressure at the block not just the head.

 

It's an obd2 ls it does not have a black box. and I rather not drain all the blow by and such back into my oil.

 

I think he was just saying to have a port in the back of the block as well as the head.

But if you're using two on the valvecover (just guessing), then that will be plenty. The gases always want to go to the highest point anyways. If not though, I'd recommend the back of the block for ease. I'm currently running that setup and no issues.

 

**** i must have missed the yr of the block somewhere. its up to you
