ya its been sitting outside in the back of my driveway for like 4-5 years now. I just paid off the gto so i got some extra cash to throw towards this now and hopefully get it up and running without any major problems this time.Small update i tore everything apart and im getting ready to pull out the motor. I need a bigger table :cry: |
wow, nice progress! keep us updated.
|

Yeah I know how that is. My GA is just sitting out there too till I get a shell for it. Still this is an exciting thing! hmm 2 turbos... and so it begins |
Nice i got a f40 tranny from cxracing.
|
The 35r may be a little small for you sleepy...
|
Sorry for no updates i ended up using the money ive saved up for this build to pay off the GTO :yahoo: :yahoo: But now that its all payed up and taken care of it frees up a lot of extra income so this build should start moving along again
|
^smart. But get to work now. :thumb:
|
Well tiny update.... Guess whats in the box :awesome:
And the Stock TB next to the new one not even close lol Well thats the good news but the bad news is the builds on hold for awhile i totaled are kenworth 2 weeks ago so moneys pretty tight till we get rolling again :( :( |
Ouch! What happened? Glad you are okay.
|
Damn that truck took a beating! Hope all parties involved are ok! I have crazy respect for anyone who drives one of these trucks with all the idiots on the roads these days....
|
Ya it happened around 1230-1am outside of Columbus OH we had a light load of 12k lbs and we got stuck in that crappy weather of the hurricane coming up the middle of the country. It jacked knifed when i was going into a corner and over a bridge luckily i was only going 55 so the rear end hit the jersey barrier on the left side then crossed back over the highway and hit and came to a stop on the jersey barrier in the break down lane. Nobody was hurt and we were the only one involved in the wreck i just gave my dad one hell of a wake up cause he was asleep in the back bunk when it happened lol.
|
Alright after a long delay thanks to totaling the truck,buying a new one and im closing on a new house with a sweet 3 car garage in 30 days the project is back on track now. I just bought a engine hoist and stand and it should be here next week some im hoping to get the engine out soon and on the stand for a tear down.
|
Nice.. At some point I'd like to do either a super or a turbo.. not sure which. Kinda really dig the idea of a supercharger.. but this late in the game for these 2.4's I'm not sure which would be the cheaper route. But that all has to wait, as I have a Bravada to get on the road yet, and the Alero needs body work or, a new shell if I can find one for cheaper than the needed body work.
