Uh, that's because we're all 18 and busy trying to figure out how to make our hand-me-down cars loud.

 

Im going to do that in your driveway.............

 

 

What's the mileage on it now?

 

Zero now :

 

^^ I smell something big is coming soon (that's what she said).

 

 

 

 

80mm tb to 09 tl intake mani adapter

 

 

Nice
Still waiting to do 09 Manifold

 

Just picked up the last of the parts needed from the dealer that i have been waiting for

 

I have an 09 manifold and a type S throttle body but nothing to stick between them that I think will work like I'd want it to. Work is slow I'm probably gonna get some stock and make one myself.

 

Make it for the Blox 76mm and make a plate (yes, an adapter for the adapter) to attach to it to bolt the type-s tb to. That way when/if you upgrade you just unbolt the tb, and the adapter plate and bolt on the blox. The blox and the type-s tb use the exact same bolt pattern but with the 76mm opening the vac ports on the type-s tb dont have any material to sit on.

 

That bolt was only there to hold it on for the pics

 

^ Works great

 

Awesome

 

Gonna call speedy metals and see what kinda material they got on fire sale. Maybe make one next week. Hours got cut plant wide so tomorrow is end of my week, won't be back in the shop till Tuesday.

 

I used 6061 1/2" plate aluminum and 3" id alum tube (which i dont remember off hand the thickness but i think it was like 1/8" or 3/16ths?

 

Would boring it out to 76mm make any difference? It's only .01 but that's a ton here at work.

 

boring what out?

 

Now this is Hella-Flush

 

 

Gettin closer.....

 

Looking good! What ever happened to the crank you had lightened and sharpened?

 

It got damaged during shipping. I may buy/find another 3.7 crank this winter and have that one knife edged and lightened

 

Now to mock up the engine with timing belt so i can clay the pistons and see what clearance i have to determine the head gasket thickness

 

Hummmmm Hood is up.




1 hr later a few parts went missing, well all the parts needed to remove the engine

 

The 3" tube I use to connect the plates.

 

Is that the legendary 600k engine?

 

no that is the car, this motor has 370-380ish (and there isnt anything wring with it other than the rear main is starting to leak)

 

Oh and the engine is out. Total time less than 2 hours, and that includes being distracted watching History channels How the Earth was made

 

Forged internals: Like roses to a man.

I'd love to have the resources to do what you do to cars/machines. Must be awesome.

 

Its a delicate balance between making myself happy and not making my wife mad

 

Crappy pic but the engine is out...................

 

 

SOOO much easier pulling the engine with the wire harness attached to it.

 

The ONLY way i would ever do it. Very simple on the TL.

 

Got me sum 3.7 cams fer the heads. Hollow too
