My Very Slow Build (88' GTX)

[Talkurt]

minor update:

redid the turbo oil return hose. the one i had before was just a straight heater hose flexed to fit and it did for a while but after a few weeks it started to krimp. Called the dealer to see if the stock part was still available and it was. Part number: B695-14-294 if anyone cares, but they wanted 45$ for it so i said screw it and got a 14 dollar 90deg hose from napa, cut it to fit and called it good.

Also hard wired my Valentine One and put back in the turbo timer.

Well i guess its time for an update. The car has been doing fine, slipping clutch will be a Christmas project. For this one i made the BOV back to a BPV, and replaced the oil pan gasket.

Finished BPV:



And a few of the oil pan and bottom of the engine: Also do those counter drill marks mine my crank was balanced or is that just factory?

So an update. I got the turbine tech front underbrace in from the guys up in Canada a few weeks back and got time to put it in. Install was pretty easy. I had to modify it in a few ways (mainly just trimming little bits off where it interfered with the frame ends). But over all it was a bolt on. The change it made was quite noticeable. Turn-in was greatly improved and the sharpness in the steering was much more than i was use to. Hopefully soon i will be getting in the upper two braces from Ultra racing and will have install pics up as soon as i get them in. Though a boat ride from Taiwan might take a bit. :/

So she blew a head gasket a little while back but she is running again. Took the opportunity to change out the timing belt and anything alse i could get a hold of lol.

Looks exactly like mine. Nice. I assume that is a Fiero in the background taking place of a Diablo?

lol yep, or something. Its pretty good other than the front fenders, they look wrong. Ford V8 in the middle.
