I got all the motor harness off now, and all I need to do now is drain the radiator/disconnect it, drain oil/disconnect the lines, unbolt it from the tranny and motor mounts and lift it out...its only taken me about an hour and half to do all this...I expect it to only take about 2 hours more



Here are some pics...

Here's a shot of a turbo I picked up for free. It's from a 300zx z31(the old school ones)...this is what happens when you have too much shaft play:

Where are doing all of this work on your car? It looks like you're in the middle of farmer brown's field.

I like the farm area. That's where I did my turbo conversion. Get rid of all those vacumm hose and get some block of plates. Go haltech too, hehe. It makes life easier.

Nothing more inspiring than cows and hay.
