Tehnation's Ballin on a budget rebuild!


Recommended Posts

I used whatever nuts and bolts I had laying around that fit the purpose.

 

Having been into cars since the mid 1970's I must have 25lbs of various nuts, bolts and washers around.

 

Notice the big washer and bolt head to the upper left of the turbo.

I have the 2 ton engine leveler from harbor freight... do you just use regular bolts for the chains or did i miss something? Is there something i didn't buy?

You supply the connections from the chains to engine.

I used a hook on the back side and u-shaped shackle with a screw pin on the a/c bracket. Just measure the brackets, it easy to get something too big to fit.

thats what i figured.... gotta go to home depot. i don't think i have a bolt head thick enough to prevent chain from slipping off.

 

I've done it before with big washers, but I think the hook/shackle is probably a lot safer.

You might get lucky if your local NAPA can get one of those...or just cut the other end and use male/female blade connectors and fix it yourself for a couple bucks.

 

Wouldn't that be easy with a single wire ?

 

something like this, there are male connectors that will slide into that,

i popped out the connector and fixed it. took like 10 mins to fix.

 

How many quarts do these cars take to fill up ? 4? lol, I gotta go buy some oil and oil filters....

 

i broke the tensioner bolt on the alternator, it was rusted to that block nut..... the little things....

 

I'm wondering if my ac still works... it's just been sitting out in the rain for like 2 years...

 

I'm also noticing how many extra nuts and bolts I have.... oh boy :rolleyes:

I tend to make sure I open the windows on nice day's to let the car air out... I guess you'll be able to do that once you start driving it again...

My downpipe :spin:.... the o2 sensor is stuck.... Its been sitting for like 3 years just rusting.... I'm about to order another one.... the Invidia HS08SW1DPO:

Any tricks to getting it out? I've already drenched it in pb blaster.. should I hit it with the torch... the wires on the o2 sensor already look fubar... anyone have a part number for rear o2?

 

I wouldn't mind a divorced style downpipe, i hear it's better supposedly.... anyone?

I happen to have what I believe is a rear O2 in the shed. On the box is number ARBS960916 the date on the receipt is Aug 2 2011. Car Quest auto parts.

 

Also with the paperwork is a OEM receipt for number 2269AA69A July 29 2011

 

I also have the old Invidia catless Dp in the basement. The divorce plate has been cut back to clear the waste gate flap. Had it on the wagon since Aug 2010 if I remember.

 

The O2 looks like this one, https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/denso-oxygen-sensor-4-wire-direct-fit-heated-wire-length-2126-234-4732/20471856-P?navigationPath=L1*14932%7CL2*16465%7CL3*16466

 

Just called my local Car Quest, yes that's a rear O2 for 05-07'.
