Nice work man. But DO NOT ORDER FROM MENTOR

They take freaking forever - I learned my lesson because of needless delays on parts that were in "stock", I use Rockville exclusively if I don't buy it local.

J-Groove · 01-07-2007, 03:25 PM

Haha, Yeah Sean, I learned that one the hard way.

I paid and ordered a turbo water feed line and a banjo bolt from them on December 15th, I didn't receive it until January 4th!

Rockville is awesome. I ordered my stuff and it showed up two days later on my doorstep.

hurry your ass up!! lol

J-Groove · 01-16-2007, 10:04 PM

Haha, sorry for the delay. Ate dinner and got some HW done.

1/12

After I got out of my classes it was time to start.

I headed over to Jeremy's, first order of business, mount up the clutch. To start, Flywheel time.

Better take in the pretty blue, last time that will be seen for a long time.

Everything went up fine and easy.

Now for my N/A modded Oil Pan.

Okay, here is the break down, TT oil pans do not fit a non turbo block. Also a 2nd gen TT pan will not work with a 1st gen TT block. Not because of dishes in the oil pump as I though. Which I'm running a 2nd gen TT oil pump along with 2nd gen forged crank and rods. It is the actual hols where the pan is supposed to bolt up.

Now my stock 2nd gen N/A pan fitted perfectly. So, I had to in the end use my stock pan.

Spent our time seeing where the return lines would hit the pan the easiest.

Had to flatten out the front of the pan as the return line wanted to line up with a curve. Then cut off the stock TT pan's internal flanges and had them welded inside my N/A pan.

RTV'ed the oil pan and mounted it up. The front line that required the most modification went on perfectly. But the rear sat a little to high. So I had to track down bolt that would work and be thin enough to fit. I love ACE hardware.

Then we mounted up the solenoids for the electronics and routed the vacume lines.
