Ok pics. Here us a pic of my car without a motor. Looks very messy. I still think i should skeet into the gape to exert dominance.

Also hetr is a pic of why your car misfires at 35psi. Donkey dick things like this become much more important at higher power levels.

The wires abraded against my crankcase vent fittings.

Do you find it easier to leave the upper plenum in the car like that?

probably also because then he could take the fuel rail off the IM and leave that in there too. and the harnesses that go through the IM cradle

There are a few lines running to the head also. I surprised he doesn't have it laying next to the upper plenum.

If there is one thing he's good at, it's got to be pulling the engine. How many times have you done it now Faeflora?

Wutt/??????

?nO

i TOOK THe upper plenum off. Letft fuel rail anwd lower on.

The motor is kinda in the car now.

Stupid motor mounts are a bithc to align. Especially when you have no friends to help you.

I am about to do the "no friends" Lars method and take off the pass motor mount but i really dont want to do that because the trans motor mount bolt is stripped (on the trans) and the uppper frontmost bolt is uh too long or something fukked.

Sunday is "make faefae's car finafukkingly run again" day. what a pain in the ***.

i would like my car to be solid. solid enough to drive it to work, in shiiity olde dc traffi and roads. solid enough to get groceris just so i can feel 430444psi of boost on the way to get string cheese. solid enough to rape any factory production car and also solid enouh to rape modified z06s at a minimum

if not

what is the point??????


this alll said


i am considering rewarding my job achievement with an awesome new ride. i saw an NSX the other day. it looked as sexy as a ferrari. I am thinking a built 2jz swap in a NSX running 700hp would be pretty sweet as a daily driva....

There is no motor mount on the transmission, only the engine block.
I've tried to install the engine without removing one of the mounts, it never works. Just keep it on the lift so when you get the one mount in, you can push the motor around with one arm while you reinstall the 2nd mount.
