I see this as working flawless...and that 500 dollar valve failing at some point

Didnt get a whole lot done today.

Got to the shop and just decided to do the heater lines instead of the oil pan, i want to have all the fittings and stuff ready so i can just get the drain done in one sitting, so that will most likely be this weekend.









I have the t in the 1 line for the throttle body bypass. The v6 32" radiators dont have the nipple like the v8s. I might get a longer hose for the bypass hose so i can move the hoses a little farther from the down pipe.

The bumper on these things is way to easy to pull off. Thanks GM.



Tomorrow. I think im taking a day off from it, but if not the intercooler will be mounted and the coldside will be ran.

hardest part is keeping tight tolerances in the hinge system when going from cold to hot. cant let exhuast escape!.. prolly a bronze bushing of someshort

well you make one for under 100 bucks and ill try it

Need 1 more coupler. Turbo outlet is bigger then the t70's.

Also i cant find my freaking ev6 injector pigtails i ordered 2 months ago which pisses me off!

SO all i did tonight was bolt up the intercooler.



I still cant find the fittings for my oil drain, but i hope to by this weekend.

I got mine from Loppers and took the fitting to a local welding shop and they weld it on for me.
Your taking about the oil pan right?
