thats mess up!

2muchboost · 02-19-2013, 08:04 AM

Damn then that blows for sure. Did you figure out what was going on? I hope the same doesnt happen to me after replacing all of the seals so whatever you figure out may help me avoid any possible issues.

Thanx

Looks like the guy who installed it pushed the seal too far in. He is giving me a new seal and I'm going to have the housing inspected for any gouges and if all looks good install the seal. Also going to reseal both oil pans while the trans is off. Ill keep u guys posted.

I thought that might be an issues but since the guy was Master Tech I held back from mentioning that. Yeah there is a particular depth that the seal goes into the block. If memory serves me right from the install the top of the seal should sit flush the tiny "lip" you see in the pic so that. Hope everything else is alright. Glad you figured it out.

Yeah I'm guessing one of his employees did the job because he knew the problem as soon as he saw the pics. No big deal ill be using this as an opportunity to reseal both oil pans just for safety

Glad you figured that out before it caused any real issues. BTW...I ended up using a dab of Gasket Maker around the Front Main Seal with the idea that it could keep the seal in place while under high boost. I was reading thru AFRACERS thread and he had done the same thing. Not sure if this is something your interested in but thought I would throw it out there just in case.

Some other random shots from last weekend

Marlin Crawler shifter parts (supEr tight fit) made the shifter feel soo much better. It took out tons of play.

Nice! Thread title wins.

2muchboost · 03-06-2013, 07:27 AM

Nice progress bro...hope she drops in trouble free.

BiG MiKE86 · 03-14-2013, 09:13 PM

Just got these bad boys in today

Xcessive Mounts

BiG MiKE86 · 03-16-2013, 08:43 PM

Test fitting the nipple I made. Fits good but ill be knocking about 1/8" off on the filter side to reduce the number of turns it takes to meet the block

240boi115 · 03-16-2013, 08:45 PM

dem mounts!

BiG MiKE86 · 03-16-2013, 08:50 PM

OEM Bolt being trimmed down to make a nipple to mount the filter to the block

Very nice bro....when do you think she will be done?

BiG MiKE86 · 03-21-2013, 08:52 AM

Trying to find a few hands and some motivation to drop the engine in this weekend. After that things should go quickly

Extreme Dimensions · 03-21-2013, 05:00 PM

good job!

BiG MiKE86 · 04-01-2013, 08:26 AM

Some minor progress this weekend...

Installed turbo - had to make a "custom" tool to tighten the SHCS holding the turbo

Installed front half of turbo

Installed 2JZ-GE water pipe to remove the coolant lines going around the block

Original junk

New pipe

Side by side

Installed

It doesn't quite bolt up to the block without modification - I may slot the bracket and add a spacer for piece of mind but i doubt it's necessary

2muchboost · 04-01-2013, 08:52 AM

I was wondering what had happened to ya.....nice progress. Did you need to do any mods to the Treadstone so that the turbo lined up? I have read a few threads in which people had to modify the holes on the Treadstone and/or the turbo's to match up?

Holes slotted to slide turbo over about 2-3mm

Original fitment

Had to go with Socket Head Cap Screws due to hex heads not fitting

2-bolt to V-band wastegate adapter installed

Just modified the turbo left manifold alone

2muchboost · 04-01-2013, 07:43 PM

Thanks for the pix......I have seen a few people have to do this.

BiG MiKE86 · 04-07-2013, 04:59 PM

Did some work yesterday

Removed hose barb

Drilled and tapped for 1/8 NPT plug

Installed new APR flywheel bolts, flywheel, clutch & pressure plate with new hardware

Then we started dropping this monster in...

And it's in!

Shifter placement

BiG MiKE86 · 04-17-2013, 08:47 PM

Workin on a bracket for the A/C compressor removal. Still gotta confirm all dims and check design but here's what I've got so far... I know it's probably overkill but why not

gives me a chance to play with the machines at work

The redline shows where the bracket will go

Got hooked up by a friend with some aluminum blocks to make the a/c bracket from

Started working on the Compressor Eliminator Bracket

Machined a section to the final thickness

Tomorrow ill be saw cutting the excess off then finishing remainder of machining.

Stay tuned
