Got another package in the mail this week.
OH YAY CAR PARTS!! so excited..

sweet.

wait.
wait..

fuuuuuuuuck

i can't remember the last time i had an internet purchase go smoothly. Actually, yes i can.. 6 months ago when I dealt with banzai.

Although, i think my RR kit is here now. Hopefully they didn't break it in transit. That one could reset the counter. Fingers crossed.

Sometimes i just think.. fuck cars.

damn it's been a long time since i've posted an update.

here are some pictures of the oil cooler install once the above got sorted out:

Theres some more stuff in the engine now too. I think my time frame for starting this is 3 weeks. i should be getting the rest of my turbo kit and fuel system this week so over the weekednd i'll have that on.

I'm waiting for a few fittings and stuff from a local parts store and I'm also having a custom oil filler neck made as well. just need my piping to get here but i'm told its a super easy job.

I'll just be using the stock rad and intercooler for the engine break in because it's still going to be about another 2 months before the shop can have mine finished.

but break in means nothing other 4000 rpm (or something like that, ill have to double check) and no boost. so that shouldn't be an issue.

also mounted a catch can today, my boost control solenoid, and I did some of the best electrical work i have personally ever done on rewiring the plugs / pins on the fuel pump. I took pics of that but they aren't on my computer no and I'm lazy so i'll upload later.

its getting there.. kinda.
once the intake manifolds and turbo are on it will look a little more optimistic in the engine bay

this is some more of what i did today..
probably the best wiring type thing i've ever done.

depinned the electrical connector of the 340 and and put new ones in with some 10 gauge wire to properly feed the pump. They are really good pumps apparently but the wiring is a big restriction.

and it still clips in the pump just like that:

tomorrow i want to get the fuel filter mounted somewhere and thats about it.

But next weekend should be fun

Unfortunately i can't work on the car during the week but it gives you a good break i guess.
