Pretty late night for me and the speed but she's got her heart back! I am still getting things hooked up and will be welding and fabricating the downpipe and screamer pipe. Then the front clip will go on and the ic piping will get fit up and welded as well. I can't wait to get this thing...

Getting very close for sure! I have a couple new plugs (alternator plug and vvt solenoid plug) to wire up. Then, just need the material for the downpipe to extend it and fill the fluids and get this baby dropped in! I custom made my intake and it was obviously not intended for a top mount setup...

Got some stuff done for the car today! I have a good bit of stick and mig welding experience and consider myself very good at it. As for tig...... Not something I have had much of a chance to do lol I have a nice tig/stick/plasma setup (Everlast PowerPro 256s w/watercooler) and it can do...

Nice lol I will show my custom stuff shortly. I have to get the vband flange welded on that actually fits my turbo for the t3 to vband adapter. I'm just aiming for very little leaks and a solid motor and build.

I pulled the transfer case off and put it on as well. I had planned to just use AN fittings but my 45 wouldn't work on the bottom as it was hitting the t-case so I said screw it and installed the factory bottom half of the oil drain. I just know there is surely a way they addressed leaks other...

Ok....so a question hundreds of speed 6 owners have had and I am hoping for an answer lol Is there a specific combination to getting to the turbo oil drain bolts on the engine block? Like a long tool to reach it from the bottom or what? I have the transmission on now and the transfer case and...

Got the new sexy clutch installed finally tonight. Didn't know that the pressure plate had allen head bolts so I guess I will be purchasing a new set of those sockets tomorrow to do the tq specs on them. Made sure all the friction plates were aligned and centered properly on the flywheel...

New pilot bearing is installed and ready for the clutch. Had a long day so didn't get to it yet. Took some pics of how I removed it but basically used the bread method. Found a bolt that barely fit in the inside of the pilot bearing. Used a Hawaiian roll and packed it full to the face of the...

I guess since it's a degree value not a torque value that would be ok. I would still leave the timing tools in otherwise it can throw something off

The way I jut did mine is in this order. #1 install cams and alignment plate on the end. #2 Install alignment pin with the crank turned until it hits it. #3 install vvt stuff (chain, tensioner, cam sprockets but loose still, etc) tightening exhaust cam first and then intake cam as to keep...

Ahh... My car is a mystery for real lol It said on the car fax it was a "fleet vehicle" for the first 2 years of its life, then stayed in indiana the whole time but showed something happened in tx where they fixed it there. Was like 2k or whatever to fix but then was back here again. So now I...

Small update* I pulled the engine off the stand and onto the engine hoist today. I am preparing to install the twin disc tomorrow so new pilot bearing is my first task. My old fidanza flywheel somehow left behind some aluminum on the crank so I sanded it smooth again. Has anyone else ever...

Welcome and glad you joined! The speeds are great just have to know what to do and what not to do is all :)

Things happen lol

Definitely one of the lowest mile 1 gens for sure man that's amazing!

Sorry to hear that they burned you before shutting the old stuff down man. This is way better anyway and the guys are cool as a cucumber lol Not all the drama and stuff so mostly great content and helpfulness! Glad you joined and welcome to MSO!!

I forget about early rpm traction problems since I have a 6 so that's a good point too though. Glad you gave your experience man :) Sounds like S4 is a great pick bro!

Even if you went with a quiet exhaust I would upgrade that with the turbo. The downpipe is your biggest bang for buck upgrade on the whole bolt-ons list so if you want an easy 20hp then there it is :)
