RooTBeeR Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Is a torque converter one of those things that helps automatic people shift? No no, torque converter lets us launch with full boost off the line. Lgt is autotragic, but that's why I have this. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/06/ed39ec2337521bfc03498f7aabcd0f54.jpg "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Didn't touch it today. Got some done yesterday. Still a lot of little things left to do though. We shall see how work goes this week if I get it done not not. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/09/c0029669618780e62395319192ea5319.jpg "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTBeeR Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Very, VERY slowly, but surely, it's coming together...finally. Re-tightened the freon line over the trans. Reconnected the heater hoses. Reconnected the fuel/vent lines. Reconnected the vacuum booster line. Reconnected the injector harness. Put the starter in. Reconnected the starter wires. Reconnected the A/C clutch wire. Reconnected the alternator wires. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/11/60c30c4e4a00bd15ace58708519cf908.jpg "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmaresmk Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Nice remember to use zip ties for the vacuum lines and check and re check the ground straps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah I still have to do the ground straps, it's on my list. I'll do that when I do the downpipe. JMP set me up with some fancy new ground straps too. Yeah, any of those lines that I pulled off that didn't have a hose clamp on them, got a zip tie.

RooTBeeR Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I was literally only a few more man hours away from finally firing this bitch up. Go to tighten down the hose clamp and the dam to just ripped apart. I guess I should have inspected that before I put it back on so now the whole intake manifold is back off and I need to order some parts. Not really happy at the moment. But it was going to smooth for too long, so something had to get facked up, right? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/15/ad44b97bb5aa4075de59de89c7a1af8c.jpg It sure is a lot more of a pain in the ass too to the intake manifold with the turbo mounted up, and with the engine in the engine bay.

FJuan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Same thing happened to me, as I was installing the intake tube it ripped at the turbo. I know that feeling bro. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Surprised you didn't put the turbo on the engine on the engine stand and fit up the tmic. I did that in my build. Thought it was how it was done. Sorry this happened. You may want to leave the turbo loose on the up pipe so it has some play when installing the tmic. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

RooTBeeR Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 I put everything on except for the TMIC because I wouldn't have been able to rig it to the hoist "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 You have tighten all the gas line clamps under that intake right ? I will say your engine bay looks so clean compared to mine here in the northeast. make sure you have good clean grounds too. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

RooTBeeR Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 i never removed anything from the intake manifold except for the bare minimum required to pull it off the heads.

Max Capacity Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Those gas line clamps are known to leak in cold cold temps, make sure you just snug them up. I think you already have the larger orange o-rings between the TGV's and intake manifold. I'm just double checking to eliminate future problems. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

RooTBeeR Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I appreciate it. I hate having to go back and fix something you thought you already did. Sort of like my inlet tube lol The gas lines clamps you're talking about, are those on the fuel rail side or the lines that come out of the firewall? I never separated the intake manifold from the TGV is, so that shouldn't be an issue at the moment. My TGV deletes came with their own gaskets as well, and I still have the orange orings that came in the complete engine gasket set Sorry if something doesn't make sense, I didn't sleep for more than 30 minutes last night.

Max Capacity Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 All the ones where the rubber hose attaches to the metal pipe. I think in my thread, click here link, I show where I lock wired the hose behind the oil fill tube, on top of number 2 cylinder. I know your in CA, but these tend to sweep gas at 20F. Just give them all a little snug with a screwdriver. Or rotate them so you can get to them from the top. The manifold is assembled upside down at the factory. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 When ever I see someone has the manifold off, that's my first recommendation second is to make sure the ground bar is rust free, but your looks pretty good. Just look things over while you have the time and fix or replace old hoses and things now. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

FJuan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Most of us in California don't understand the word "rust", unless you live next to the beach. Even in the mountains where it snows they put down dirt (not salt), because the salt will hurt the environment. If you look at my engine bay you will be totally jelly because of no rust, and I've own the car for 10 yrs. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
