Message It made me get off my lazy ass and pull my motor again..

I mainly pulled it to install some better machined compressor inlet flanges that I made. (I had a small leak with my previous version, vacuum leak)..

I tried every which way to do it with the engine in the car.. but decided that I should just pull the motor and do it right.. Plus I could install my SS oil feed lines as well.

I will also be installing new VTC's. Get rid of that damn tick.

Good ol' 3" turbo back...

it works great

BEST gaskets in teh world.. "dead soft" aluminum.. totally reusuable and never breaks down or apart.. I highly recommend them.. I think I paid about $20 for them..

Here you can see how large 3" piping really is..this might be why I have "no lag" on my GT28R turbos.. as well as my custom dual pop intake (direct from compressor inlet to under headlights.. No stock "U" pipe.. I recommend 3" exhaust to EVERYONE.. I had them on my stock turbos and loved it.. not to mention the exhaust note.. so much meaner..

Marking the driveshaft.. I thought about it afterwards.. it'll probably be easier to just drop the driveshaft from the M10 allen head bolts at the differential..

Before you even think it.. I have done this stuff the "hard way" with just jack stands.. I didn't always have the lift! :)

Engine finally on stand.. Took me about 1.5 hrs to find the damn bolts that I used to hold this up.. I am using the bolts that I usually use holding my 2nd "big hp build" block on a different engine stand.. So I had to search everywhere to find them..

Finally..

Took me a total of 9 hrs to pull trans, then motor.. from start to cleanup. including the 1.5 hrs looking for proper engine stand bolts and a ~45 min break for food and a beer..

Should've been a little faster.. but I was really rushing myself and I didn't have anyone there to give me a hand.. so it was boring as well..

More to come....

NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
