first time rebuilding the motor and ebay turbo









first start up since rebuild

only one post

 

coming along nice.. subscribed

 

very nice progress!!!

 

Look alright and what's the plan for it?

 

Nice how does the ebay turbo hold up?

 

up date??

 

it is going to be a fully built ls turbo with crower 404s and crower valve train it already has cp 9:1 pistons and probe rods and fully balanced rotating assembly when i get extra money i am going to send my spare block off to ge and get sleeved and order weisco polly coated 9:1 and eagle rods with eagle lightweight crank the car also has a gsr transmission so it will be nice i hope looking for 400 at the wheels on around 25 lbs

as far as the ebay turbo its been great so far i had it on 12lbs and it ran just fine with no issues so far



got some work done this weekend not a whole lot but its something

i went over to tdc on Friday and picked up some parts that came in for me still ordering more and waiting on more thanks adam







started taking my front end apart getting everything ready for paint





putting some stripper on





and for everyone that doesn't know down wear latex gloves or anything of that sort using this stuff this is what it does to plastic



all clean now

 

MOARRR!!!

 

in for updates

 

not to much of an update but my ac went out in my house i swear if its not one thing its another but i got the bb and mcs on and for some reason i have broken two flare tools trying to flare my brake lines it is getting very frustractiing i might just switch to ss lines

thanks for all the positive feed back so far guys







also started getting my manifold ready that came in skunk2 ftmfw

 

sorry i havent had any recent updates i have been having to work overtime everyday at work this week but tons of parts ordered and should all start coming in soon i hope

 

sorry i haven't had any updates in a while i have been super busy and i am waiting on parts to come back from paint and stuff is still arriving in the mail every day but enough with the talk on with the pics

i went ahead and painted my engine with some high temp aluminum paint i think it turned out pretty good i am going to respray the tranny this color as well





i also went ahead and went over to my grandpas shop and sand blasted and etched a few pieces i needed to bring to paint



and i figured i would just snap a quick photo of what he has been working on a 55 chevy bel air asphalt circle track car on a nascar frame and nascar suspension



also my inner and tie rods came in so i went ahead and put those bad boys on. i need to order a new boot for one side as i didn't one side was ripped.





also my new ball joints came in as well and i got free uppers hahaha so i put them in for the mean time until i can get some more money to get my camber kit



popped the old ones out







and put the new nice pretty ones in





and as i was putting these in a package arrived with my end link bushing since my old ones were all jacked up



i know it wasn't to much of an update but hopefully i will get my parts from paint by the end of the week and maybe even my harness and i will be super pumped if they both do and i will keep updating with updates as they come please keep the positive feed back coming it really gives me more inspiration to work on the car and finish this bad boy up

 

Props for attention to details.

 

^ thanks i can honestly say this is the first build that i am not cutting any corners on and everything will be done right and to my fullest of expectations i cant wait to see the end result....

i also just ordered my dye and sand less prep chemicals to dye all interior pieces oem black so i am pumped about that stay tuned i will work on that in the up coming week or two when the materials arrive also prep on the exterior will begin it is going to get sprayed taffee white with a hint of purple pearl

 

Sweet build I'm loving the sedan... I want one too! But maybe Jdm front end.... :]

 

^ i want a jdm front end as well but i just didn't have the money or the time to convert when i was getting the bay painted but there is always a time for everything and it will have one in the future i plan on it atleast

 

nice build up so far man. my friend just bought an ebay turbo also, hope it holds up for him also...keep with the updates, wanna see where this build goes!

 

sorry for the lack of updates everyone i have just been waiting on parts to arrive and things to get painted and today i got to go pick up some painted stuff so alot of things will be getting done tonight and tomorrow night as well as over the weeked im pumped but here is a few teaser shots for now

 

so i started putting the pieces i got back from paint on tonight and i noticed they forgot to give me two brackets which sucks i was going to try to finish all the suspension tonight but it doesn't look that way so ill have to go down there tomorrow and hope they just forgot to put them in the box and they are already painted here is what i got done tonight please comment and tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions on anything they are welcome

 

finally getting some progress done hopefully it will be done soon depending on the funds there is still a very long list of parts i need to buy

 

nice updates looks good, good luck with it
