My Turbo Install Thread

if your changing springs too I would just pull the whole engine out and change it all on the floor. springs take 10 minutes with the engine lowered and you don't risk dropping a keeper

Not sure if there will be enough room to do that. I am working on jack stands here. We'll see. I have the spring tool and cylinder pressurizing tool from VHP.

wow, good luck with the build.

Awesome! That's gonna be bad ass when done!

Nice job! keep up the good work!

Thanks guys! I can't wait to get this all on the car and hear those thing spooling!!!!

That would make it 100 times easier for those exhaust manifolds too.

Whats the hold up? I thought you'd already have a time slip.

don't I wish! One thing at a time. I may tackle the fuel pump upgrade tomorrow. Then the valve springs/pushrods. Then the oil pan & K-Member. After that point is it all re-assembly and will hopefully go fairly quickly. All in good time. Don't want to rush and forget something or break anything.

You can call me if you need a hand too, looks damn good! Now mount those turbos!

that's sweet Tony. if ya need any help too, let me know, i am a whole 6 minute ride from your place! as far as the springs, if you don't take the motor out, it's not too hard to pop the heads off and just swap the springs with the heads off, then just put 'em back on. we did a head/cam swap in my garage on my buddy's formula in 1 night
