Sleeper front mount


The turbo that eats babies




Engine is out and everything is getting pressure washed by my friend Todd. it was coming out for everything getting fully built, but i miss driving a boosted car so its in the process of being put back together. after the wedding the engine will come back out for its new parts and the tranny will get an LSD.



i dont know why Todd likes pressure washing my car so much, but who am i to stop him. lol



so fresh and so clean clean.







here is a little surprize given to me by a leaky proportioning valve



a little more disssasembly for the engine bay painting





this shows just how much i stripped it



filling some holes





here is the painted bay. i meant to get some pics of the prep, but i forgot





super slick



here is the engine back in the car. i was so nervous about this part. the last thing i needed was a scratch



i really like the openess of it. there is so much room and it is so uncluttered. hopefully it looks like that when its running too. i am trying to hide as much as possible





Todays Progress. my plan is to get a good street tune on it sunday. im not rushing it though









so, its pretty much done. i just need to put the body panels on and get an alternator. anyone have one? i need it asap

that engine bay hurts my eyes to look at. i'll be back, i need to go wipe the blood from em. good job mang, that came out amazing

SkunT

want my honest opinion? great work on the engine bay. Shitty work on getting that engine clean. Shoulda painted the engine while it was out? -or maybe by chance you have another motor waiting to go in? And have that manifold coated so it looks a little better also

Scott-EP

the engine is just being thrown back in cause i want to drive the car again. after i get married(wedding is sucking all of my money) i have plans of shooting for the vitara HP record and that engine will look mint

SkunT

sweet!

seerex

Wait so is that the new vitara motor? Car/e-bay looks great!!

Scott-EP

Somehow this thing actually looks even better in person. I was scared to death to scratch something puting the motor back in. That oil feed hard like looks sweet.
