Im going to be running a twin scroll turbocharger and a custom divided flange tubular turbo manifold anyone have any experience with this flange or similar products?

You'd be better off designing the manifold like Garrett says, with complimentary cylinders on each side of the divided flange.

Update almost done :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

I'm so jealous right now.

so he's gonna leave those stickers on the pistons? lol

they'll get burned away :lol: :rolleyes2:

haha thats exactly what I was thinking....

Looks like it is coming along very nicely... Congrats on the build.

Looks good...but I still suggest as I do to others on here..."you should have learned how to do it yourself". Learn how to rebuild it so you gain something from it and fix it yourself when something goes wrong. Now all you can say is "oh I paid someone to do it for me".

could be half and half though, maybe his motor is getting built and he understands the jist of it, but doesn't have the time or tools to do it, but he may be putting together the turbo kit himself.......


I'll admit that my bottem end is being put together at a shop, because I am not gonna chance a little clearence eff up by me, cost me $3000 or $4000 grand, and I am also not gonna do my own heads, you bet your ass the best 60degree shop WOT-TECH will be doing my heads, but I will be assembling everything else myself, and fabbing up the supercharger setup.....

thats exactly what it is im putting the motor,5 speed swap,turbo kit and full suspension in myself but i dont have the tools to put together a motor nor do i fully trust my self to not screw up a 4k investment

Well i some time this weekend to put the 2.3 mani,phenolic adapter spacer and relocate my battery in the black sedan hers the pics and i ran my intake piping straight into the fender so i have my cai back

did I read that right? putting 1k or more down on a 4k loan ? :rolleyes2:

ya the more you put down the less you pay and more likely they will give it to you and my bank only does 1k or 5k loans

Well due to a few unseen events my build was put on hold but its back up and running again.The motor is together now and ready to be shipped out next week :yahoo:

wow wanna trade?

Ok so im meeting Marcus in 2 weeks to pick this bad boy up in NY but i need some help.The car is going to be stored outside under a take down car port thing for the winter should i drop the engine in now and drive it around for maybe a month before it starts snowing or should i just keep the engine in my house and put it in after winter?

after winter.... with me :P

After winter because it is better weather

After winter because you have no reason to rush if you aren't even going to drive it.

I don't know anything about anything, but if it doesn't matter which time you do it, I'd personally rather just get it over with now.

So i need some help before tomorrow were do i bolt up the chains to lift the engine out of the bay?

Hey man im new but i have been reading your posts and loving it. i wish i had a standard tranny ut of course i have the v6 3.4 and well i feel like i can try to make it a standard and with every thing you have done i i wanted to help you out with this. ill get back to you tomorrow on the lift mounts but i would be waiting till after the winter to be putting that bad boy in. like i said ill be back tomorrow with the lift stuff though

It begins
 

so started pulling the old motor out Friday

My buddy posing with the old motor after we got it out

Then i took a long road trip to meet Markus and pick up the motor out in western NY left at 6am didn't get back till 8pm but it was well worth it :yahoo:
and the last of the pics i got was the new one going in
The motor is in and everything all bolted up now i just need to put on the alternator,a/c compressor,tensioner and a few random plugs and ill be ready to start this bitch up :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: and i would also like to thank Nate and Zack for coming down to my house to help me with the swap and im sorry i don't have more pics but it was a long weekend and taking pics was the last thing on my mind.

i did most of the unbolting... charlie only came after i left... the engine is EXTREMELY nice, it will make very very good power...

i leanred something, DONT pull an engine in a nor'easter

and also dont pull axles out if you cant get them back in

Hey Caboose nice engine. One thing I recommend is wire tucking. I neglected that issue on my engine bay so now I am resolving it. And I'll tell you the bay looks sooooooo much better. Oh and please no blue wire loom.;)

ya cleaned as much of the dirt and grease as i could when the engine was out i didnt even think of tucking the wires.What you didnt like all my blue wire loom no my other car?:lol:

nice project, now more pics.. I might want a 2dr alero with the I4 someday

Well i got more pics for you guys








It sounds great started up the 1st time we tried cranking it now i just have to put 1k miles on it before the real fun starts.

Looking good, now you just need to clean up the bay :D

hey man, did you drive it home?

when i left, you were so close to finishing, and did that silicone fix the dex leak?

ya the leak is fixed for now and its all set we got the axle in around 1130 but i didnt drive it home cause of all the snow.
