Old oil lines... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Old Jspec being crated and brought to the docks tom for pickup on monday! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Looks good.

I still have a bunch of stuff to do before driving the car though, gotta get oil, oil filter, coolant, and belts...but i get paid tom so its all good...then i gotta shitload of interior stuff & exhaust to put back on...

And once all that's done...I'm gonna be...um...done with my conversion??? Damn that feels good to say https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

that's like the last piece of the puzzle, right? the rest is just details...

Can't wait to see the finished prodcut. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png The TII SE-X.

So the SE-X will run soon then?Let us know how the motor runs when it starts.

haha, about time! Don't you love getting new toys?

Well, I plan on buying the oil, filter,coolant and belts tomorrow...and I've gotta block the the BAC off somehow w/ a quick fix, and then I'll just try to start it...man this is awesome..i hate being at work though, i'd be about playin around w/ it right now. I also need to clean the TB up a lil...its sticking open...once/if it starts i'll check for leaks...move around my driveway a little...its got really old fuel in it though too...so i'm not sure how the motor is gonna like old '87 octane,lol...



but everything is cool, the rest is just details.



Also, i just want to stress that this ends the CONVERSION only...this only part one of the entire SE-X project, needless to say...ya'll aint seen nothin yet!

has that motor been sitting outside like that this whole time?

Yea...I just left that ******* jspec outside to freeze...suprisingly...the motor still spins and i get good wooshes on the front rotor...(i spun it yesterday). I alreayd talked to atkins and they still want it...it may look bad...but thats all surface rust, and they use it for parts anyways...





And yes...I LOVE GETTING NEW TOYS!

What brand of oil cooler lines are those? They look nice. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif Is the SS between the black stuff coated?

those are the SS lines available from mazdatrix that do not use the AN fittings, they are stock replacements with no adapters needed...



yes the black stuff is an insulator to protect the SS lines.

those oil lines are a ******* bitch to get off of the engine.

luckily u had that fan off, thats y i found it difficult

So you should be running this weekend.



I hope the engine and oil cooler was plugged up this whole time?

The engine was plugged up on both ends and I left the bolts in the oil cooler. When I take stuff off, I try to put bolts back where they goes as not to lose them,lol...it works...most of the time https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



And yes, I plan on having it running this weekend. I really only tomorrow to work on it though. I am working all day saturday and saturday night I'm leaving for Columbia, Va to go camping and watch some rail buggy drag races, 400+hp trucks runnin through the mud, typical VA stuff,lol...my GF's dad has a fully built Toyota pickup w/ a 440HP Chevy small block...and of course NOS,lol..I'm going to watch him run some mud races and ****...

and yea...the fan was off cuz I'm gonna pickup my electric one tom hopefully
