I happened to have a d15b7 turbo'd running pretty good keeping up with all the guys in town, i made a few comments to an Fbody crew that goes to my college and i guess i should of let the F*ck's be. i came out of school to my hood pins off and wasnt sure really what happened. long story short they cut part of my injector wire so it had some continuity. driving it home got it up to about 6K started to sound bad looked at my oil pressure and it blew instantly. its been sitting for a month and finally got a motor in it. i was told the motor i bought was completely rebuilt so ill run it NA for a few weeks just to get some money to get it tuned. pictures just show the fitment of it.











what she'll be back to soon.

so do you mean that the injector just fired continiously, man that sucks. Dont mess with those F-bodies Well good luck with the rebuild and are you sure it was those guys because if i was sure and somebody had done that to my car there would be revenge in the works but that is just me. Good Luck man

 

yea i've pretty much got a planned revenge, shitty it came to this but cant do much now.

 

Man, you don't touch another mans car, it doesn't matter what they drive.

Good luck rebuilding, and they deserve whatevers coming to them for screwin with your car.

 

I would be pissed!!! I don't think i could ever take revenge though. (i'd pay some one to) I am a wus, can't risk getting arrested. Just be careful if you do though!

GL with the build

 

haha you guys are taking it all wrong, revenge as in hopefully building a turbo'd b series to take them out next summer. and get locking hood pins while i'm thinking.

 

any suggestions of axle grease i should use to put the axles back in?

Generic grease should work fine...personally, last time I swapped out an axle, I just used a dab of red bearing grease to get things moving easier .

I hope you're not planning to use those as the only way to secure your hood to the car. Someone I know up in NorCal had his ef9 hood fly up with those pins and totally f*ck up his roof/hood/maybe fender (can't remember).

 

that really sucks man...i would be soooo ****'d. Im glad you have a good out look on it though.

Deff. get locking hood pins. I'm guessing you don't have the t-bar with the hood latch anymore because of clearance issues?

the front of the car is all 1.25'' steel bar. it has a lot of clearance actually just a latch really isnt able to be installed unless i welded in an adapter plate and screwed a latch on. and the pins arent too bad i have pretty thick pin that goes in but still gotta do something about it.



another picture to show clearance with radiator and manifold.

 

started out with this mess of wires.


to end up looking decent.




cleaned up the tranny a little bit using degreaser and a toothbrush.

 

had a couple questions on how many wires should be running to the starter, have the one from the battery and the relay but not sure if i need a third.



also and i had a rubber hose that was cut and wondering where it goes? and also the loop of hose loops back into the manifold does it need to be routed somewhere else? and last the line coming out of the manifold is it a coolant line?

 

 

The big cut hose goes to the heater core. the little one is coolant recirculating for either the fit valve or the Idle air controll valve . i have all those capped off on mine. But i dont drive it in the cold.

 

thanks

 

all i have now is getting the oil pan tapped and it should be running.

 

that realy sucks man!!!thiers haters everywhere...glad to see u getting her together...

 

Hey man...kind of off-topic....but show us some more pics of your tube-bar front end!

How do you have it connected to the subframe etc? Looks like it opened up a TON of room for you!

 

just got back from the weekend, i'll try to get pictures tommorow.

1. & 2. are the hoses connected to the heater core? are they wrong.

 

pics of the front end.



















and.... for the damage to the old motor.

 

bump for the pic request.

 

the hose is supposed to loop to the head that one doesnt go to the heater core

 

yea i just figured that out last night. always great to have friends with the same motor.

 

how many grounds should i have, one to the valve cover, one on the tranny... and...
