lookforjoe Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Holy clutch. That kit looks effin sweet Hussein! When do you plan on getting it installed? I'd like to check it out before you do. Probably after the turbo - since it's easier to access with the trans, BG and subframe out of the way - so, probably not until the end of the week.

B Mac Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think I'm heading home from this road trip towards the end of the week, possibly coming home on Thursday? If I have Friday off I'll let you know :tup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
854TGA+ Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Looks awesome! Finally you will be able to crank up the boost and see what you can put down on the dyno. The last dyno shop you visited appears to be a good shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have Friday off I'll let you know OK. Precision called - so their deal is basically 50% of retail cost = 698 for a new cartridge with 1 year warranty. Hopefully they ship today, I see it by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Turbo arrived! New CHRA, cleaned up Comp & Hotside Given the tornado/heavy rain watch for the next 24hours, I doubt I will get the wagon back on the road this weekend - since I'm doing this and the clutch outside in my driveway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Will Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 And it's just crazy to drop a subframe and all that when it's constantly raining out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Put the turbo back in - took some time, I had to rework the clocking since the CHRA was changed. I removed the 90º elbow on the feed pipe. I altered the drain tube slightly due to the change in CHRA clocking. water pipes have to be modded - they interfere with the BG install New flywheel AP clutch stack height Disc comparison Spec thickness 9mm AP thickness 8.5mm AP PP 40mm wide contact area Spec PP 44mm wide contact area( I used a grinding stone to remove the hotspots & level the surface) Trans in back in, BG is in. Need to re work the oil cooler water feed pipe, then I can install the subframe & button up the IC & intake plumbing 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkaplan Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 You must be pretty good at pulling the BG and trans by now. nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 You must be pretty good at pulling the BG and trans by now. nice work BG is much easier with the subframe dropped Trans is a still a royal PITA on your back in the driveway, no way around it. Revised the oil cooler water pipes - was able to heat & massage the main feed pipe under & around the new return: Now axle clears just fine, and BG can be removed without touching the hard pipes (oil cooler still has to come off) - New carrier bearing (9181693 - FEBEST 45x75x19) installed on the manual AWD axle also. After that, I got the subframe, PS rack, control arms, motor mounts, driveshaft & axles in. Bled the clutch. Did the fan shroud, Hot & Cold IC piping, Torque mounts, Shifter cables, filled the trans, etc... Just have to finish up the inlet side piping and the breather cans - should have it running again tomorrow afternoon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
