What did you do today to your 3/S?

**Street_Chally73** · 06-20-2013, 04:56 AM

I just got a couple more parts & have some more on their way...This weekend I'm going to polish up the T-stat cover for the final time & install that, drop the rear turbo back on/bolted down, & try to get the rear valve cover powder-coated to see if I'm going to like it then go from there.

Oil return gasket started spewing. Only way I could get to it was to pull the turbo.

What I found was the actual distances from center were slightly off from the stockers but not too much. Now if 3SX didn't clock their assembled mounts properly then that is on them. My picture shows how they should be clocked. The trans mount hole should be offset higher and the upper mount hole should be offset lower.

Mine looked like above also. Ones I removed appeared to be centered. I'll look closer next time I'm in the garage.
Finished putting intake back together. Installed new intake hard pipes. Had to add ports for charcoal canister and boost solenoid. For some reason these didn't have them. Started the car. So far so good.

dude... on dave's car if he took 2nd to 7000, 3rd would still be out of the boost threshold.

Make sure to remove the baffles in the valve cover and clean it.

I'm pretty sure ABM is using one of them on a jet-ski
