theorie's new Daily Driver. 1993 BB Base Model Build

theorie · 03-10-2014, 11:44 AM

The "IRP Stage 3" motor came back from IRPerformance. I also received my new turbo from The Boost Lab. At the last minute, I decided to go with the Borg Warner s366 instead of the BW s363 as previously planned. I won't get into the reasons why, but I think I'll be happy with this turbo.

I haven't had a chance to take any proper photos. I decided to clean up the waterpump housing and filler neck while it's off. It had some surface stains and was kinda of grimy. I also checked the thermostat which was dry rotted and needing to be replaced. I installed a Banzai Racing oil pan stud kit and have a brace to go on as well, but couldn't find my motor mount arms so I decided to wait on sealing the pan until I have those arms available.

I'm going to pick up a new thermostat and another set of motor mount arms today or tomorrow so I can get that oil pan sealed with the brace and start to put the accessories back on the short block.
