That's some awesome MacGyver-ing, looks like when I got my fan clutch off without the special tools and the big-wrench/swing a BFH method failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The wheel looks too modern for the car. Also, how do you fill up the trans from there? I'm just curious, as I haven't owned a manual prior to the winter E28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if my Getrag 265 has one.There isn't a fill hole through the boot. I just pulled mine up to access. You have to lead the hose to the fill hole while underneath the car. It isn't directly under the shifter.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I just popped my drive shaft back in after flipping the csb around. Installed it backwards, oops. While I was down there I took some close up pics of my exhaust. They go in order of front to back. Pics are of the weld/mounting points.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Crank Case is on vacuum! Beat the crap out of her last night and she was all good!!I might have to close up the plug gap a little more and make sure all the plugs have the open side facing away from the intake so I don't blow out the spark. It slightly broke up a couple of times. I smoked a modded, newer GTO last night! Ha! Dude was shocked.Time to boost her up!!! I might go 18-22psi. I'm at 14psi now after fixing a leak I've had since the beginning. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Writing down another update to keep me organized. Things to do: - Swing by radio shack for a 5amp inline fuse for the wideband brain. - Buy a new VDO oil pressure gauge that works with my sending unit. - Install glove box - Install trunk lock. - I also need to cut some more of my fenders off in the rear. - Clean up the grill and fender mounts. #easy Who has re-keyed their locks? Please school me on this guys! After doing some work to the BOV I found out that I had a pinched ICV barbed hose fitting which had to be leaking badly. I kind of already mentioned this...Now can this snow go away?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Agree with TJ, this thing is tits, aside from those blue couplers. Idk if this was mentioned, but what turbo are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Agree with TJ, this thing is tits, aside from those blue couplers. Idk if this was mentioned, but what turbo are you running? The turbo is a TO4E 67mm .82 T3 P-trim J-bearing. Not huge but I'm not going for 900hp. I want to max this out to its full efficiency. I still have to figure out what that will be though. HA! Can you paint silicone? I'm trying to get away from this money pit nickel and dimein' me unless I really need something. (That reminds me I need to order some transmission mounts. My passenger side mount is ripping!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
