Your previous post should have read:

Got the engine out today. Ordered some packing peanuts and some heavy duty boxes from amazon today so I can ship this gutless excuse of an N/A engine out to the buyer. Once that stuff comes in i'll use the money the begin my exciting new journey. I really cant tell you how excited I am to experience these things called "reliability" and "torque". Im probably going to order an L33 and just install some very subtle and cheap top end performance components..this way I will still crack over 400rwhp and 375rwtrq without breaking the bank.
On a different note. since I've removed the triangular paper weight what connectors do I keep for the body harness & as for the unnecessary ones, what is the best way to remove them?

;) This is all in good fun. Please don't pollute Kyle's thread with THE argument that always fires up after a post like this.

:squint:

Which means using the n/a rotors in the turbo build....

:smilielol5:

Fixzed that for ya Sean ;)

Oh it was so fun.



would that not be too high compression?








haha equally funny.

Nope

I run S4 NA rotors in my car and it's hit 26psi on straight pump gas before

Aren't the s5 higher? Im still planning on doing as good a NA build i can do first. But i don't want to get a standalone. But maybe i will as long as it will also work with a turbo build... i guess id just have to build a new harness when i switched.

S5's are higher, but no it's not too high

Plan the harness for the turbo engine and run it as an NA. There's only one extra input you need (EMAP), and one extra output (boost control)

I need smarter brain.:banghead:

lol - lets not forget how many harnesses I've built in my life ;)

True. I'm hoping to get a full 4 port engine soon to start tinkering with....

UPDATE:

So in the past 3 days i've ordered:

Silicone Vac hose and some highly rated fuel line from Amazon. Dual alt pulley and belts from Banzai. 6th port inserts from Atkins and i took a page out of @infernosog build and got vacuum block to clean the engine bay up with.

On the note of wheels... I got ahold of the guy i bought the car from. He finally admitted that he couldn't find them and then assured me that he would find em a set. So i told him I found a set for $300 (ended up being $400 shipped) and asked him to comp me at least half of that and i haven't heard back from him. Lesson learned i guess. If i would have been thinking about it I would have with held $400 cash when i picked the car up and told him I'd give him the rest when he delivered the wheels. Oh well. At least i'll have a set of stock ones tomorrow.

Once the inserts and pulley/belts arrive ill go ahead with finishing up the emission delete and get everything buttoned back up.

Plans after that are to order caliper rebuild kits, paint calipers, and install new Hawk HPS pads that a friend gave me on the cheap.

Find a good block when blowing the pistons out and Careful with the fingers!!!

Got these in the mail to day. Gonna get them cleaned up and then mount tires.

Nice, I like those. Those are from a S5 GXL aren't they?

No they are S5 turbo/GTUS wheels
