Well, progress has been slow on my turbo swap. I am now reassembling the 7M-GTE, I put
the head on last night, and discovered that I do not have an appropriate socket to deal
with the ARP head studs. OOPS! Oh well then, so I'm shopping for a 14mm 12pt deep socket
today.
It's getting closer, pretty soon I'll be able to fgeel boost pushing me back in my seat.
In other news, I appear to have lost my mind somewhere. I sold my AFM, and bought a Lexus
AFM and PTE 550cc injectors. Damnit! The engine isn't even running yet, and I'm doing
upgrades. I also bought the lower intercooler hardpipe from http://www.speed-
source.net/products/intercooler.htm This looks to be a nice little product, and since I
ripped my OEM one, the $95 shipped price is cheaper than an OEM replacement of the rubber
part.
Next thing you know, I'll be buying an upgraded turbo and a complete hardpipe kit... Oh
wait. I need a better intercooler first...
