you're right, there is no substitute for experience. I started my b16a install and 6 weeks later I had the bastard running then I overheated it and a month later I was going again. With experience you know what to look for, what to do and what not to do, you can read and look at pictures all day and still be behind the guy who actually did it.

jb weld saved the day! i didn't know you weren't suppose to weld brass to metal anyways, heres the pics of the oil pan before and after my buddy 'jb' a.k.a, 'mr. weld' hooked me up as far as the install, it got ditched i took my a/c out and freed up so much space, but the gay *** ------- ---- 'a/c compatable' stealth mani, put the turbo right in my ------- radiator fan, and there's just no way around that. i'm selling the turbo, manifold and wastegate on egay right now. i did get my oil return line installed while i had the oil pan off, just capped it off, i also centered my i.c. and cleaned the ---- out of my engine bay. hopefully, i'll have a new set up by the end of next week.

after my friend was done with the pan.....


i started to grind the monstrosity off......


finally got throught the 3/4 inch beed.....


cleaned her up a bit, getting ready for 'jb'.......


ahhhhhhh, yessss, jb weld saves the weekend....



a little custom paint, and she looks stock


tight fit (for anything)......



a little room to breath........


the aftermath........



centerd i.c. (this one's for you travis ) looks much better!!


the only real progress made after all this schlarky....


if you have any quesions on how to do this install, please, ask some one else

At least there was some progress .
It's looking good, It sucks you had to take the A/C out. and that oil pan looks like ---- man, but if it works, no one will actually see it after it's installed. Finish that ----, if you keep this up, it won't be ready June 19th
