If anyone wants to watch an engine pull/turbo install
I'm almost ready to yank my engine out of the engine bay, should be out by tonight.
Tomorrow my twin turbo kit is scheduled to arrive and ill be slapping that on as well.
I'm located in Folsom, if any of you guys wanna come out and watch or help or just drink

As of right now this is what ive done:
Removed hood and bumper
Removed front rims and tires
Changed brake pads (unrelated but whatever)
removed radiator
Removed fans
Removed intake
Removed upper and lower intake manifolds
Changed spark plugs
removed all under panels
probably a lot more stuff i cant think of.

Alright so it's 4am and i just left my garage.... I'm BEAT.
We got the engine out of the engine bay and my stupid friend totally flaked on letting us use his engine mount so we have it sitting perfectly between one of my old jeep wheels with the bounts on the rubber on both sides and with a few harnesses holding it up...Pretty ghetto and i hope i didnt F anything up.
Ran into some MAJOR problems.
A. Recieved the kit today and the guy that i bought it from forgot the walbro fuel pump, injectors, and test pipes. He said he'd overnight so probably wont be here till friday.
B. I need to remove 1 bolt from each exhaust outlet on the engine where you mount the manifolds. Basically the new turbo manifolds dont match up the way they should with this bolt on each side sticking out so i need to find a special tool that will let me remove these. I'm basically screwed until i figure that part out.
C. Some bolts were missing so i need to go to ace hardware and get all those squared away.
I really want to just slap these turbos on and get my engine back in as fast as it came out because getting the transmission to line back up with the engine is making me nervous.
Alex
P.S. I got a 4 1/2 foot hookah today from Cobblestone (that baller huge one that has been on their counter for like 2-3 years) and it is soooo amazing. Anyone can come over and smoke as well.

How'd it go? Did you guys ever get the motor in? The tranny looked like it was going to be a b*tch to attatch. Oh yeh... sorry I didn't get back to you about the actuators, didn't get a chance to get on the computer until now. UPDATE WITH PICS!

We just packed up earlier at about 1:30 because we weren't making any progress. Basically the engine is sitting in the bay, attached to the transmission now, but we are having a hell of a time getting the tranny to line back up with the engine. We tried adjusting the angle and pushing the engine toward the tranny for about 45 minutes and the gap didnt change much. Im at the point where im almost considering lining the bolts up and bolting it back together....but i dont really want to do that, doesnt seem like such a good idea.

Yeah... I wouldn't do that.. could ruin some splines. May have to wiggle the tranny around a lil to get everything to line up and for it to slide the rest of the way in. Keep us posted! Give me a call if you need anything.
