haha, good guess, carlos. unfortunately, when they replaced the s/c, they gave me the 07-08 pulley bolt. not only do you need a special key, but theres a tamper mark4 on it. i'd need a completely new bolt. im going to see if i can pull some strings to get a hold of one.

what i got might be even better, actually...

 

Are we gona find out tonight?

 

damn better than a pulley?? I dont know, EMS or a 50 shot( guessing since you said that your old celica had nitrous).

 

lol nah, i'll reveal it when it's installed. i'll probably install it after work tomorrow. damn, school sucks!!! aaah, help me!

 

hmmm did those rotors come in yet?

Damn you guys chat alot... took me about 30 mins to catch up 5+ pages.. lol

Johnny, dont wait up for me and the dyno if you guys wanna hit it... if not.. gotta wait till after the 22nd, (Put some pressure on Joel for the install)... lol

Im down for track day after that.

 

hmm if your gonna do it after work tomorrow... then bpv?

 

Well if we get 10ppl to go, we can get the shop to ourselves supposedly, so thats why we are tryin to wait, no pressure!


We chat a whole lot, helps the day go by.......ill see you guys in like half an hour

 

Man this whole issue with the header really blows. Oh and by the way, thanks for the help pete. Let me know what you find out and the price. I really appreciate it. I just really don't want to have to remove that s/c shaft....I know johnny is in the same boat now too.

 

so what finally happened with the header? doesnt it fit?

 

not just the shaft, you'd have to remove the entire unit. as long as you torque everything to spec, you should be ok. did you find out what that noise was? or was it just your imagination? lol.

sry i had to leave peeps. have some clients in the building early tomorrow so i had to leave everything prepared.

 

sup my boosted brotha... didnt see you at the meet.. got there around 930 or so

 

to follow up on johnny's ___ text...

pete, my apologies for messing around about the whole timeslip thing. i know i got a little carried away saying i didn't believe it and all that.

i love all you guys too.. now lets get drunk and get some pincho man.

 

Im pretty sure that noise was just my imagination lol. It got a little louder but nothing to worry about.

Oh and Denny, the problem with the header is

1) Getting the Heat Shield off
2) And then getting the header in because to drop it in from the top the shaft is in the way and on the bottom the oil return line is in the way.

 

Damn thats gonna be a tough one.

 

hmm... on the pulley side of the SC, im assumeing that theres a bracket holding that side down? would it be possible to remove said bracket and angle the shaft upwards? or possibly loosening both sides without really disconnecting it?

 

^I think thats what Pete was talking about doing. I don't know exactly how I feel about messing with the s/c though...IDK Pete knows alot...x2 more then I do lol. So we'll see what happens. Worst case scenario I sell it and buy a Megan Header

 

nah, youd have to take it off completely. if you look at how the compressor side is bolted onto the tranny, you'll see what im talking about. at least im pretty sure you'd have to take it all off, cuz when they replaced my header after it blew, they took the whole thing off. but they were idiots, so maybe.

sounds like the easiest way would be to remove the oil return. block it off so oil doesnt leak out and thats it. you'll need less than half a quart. i have a little bit of mobil1 left if you need some after the install.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen of the 1upcrew and others...I have been offered the job and will be relocating to the land of cactus and tumbleweeds...the 1up crew will have a satellite office in Arizona !!!!!!!!

I will be waiting for the phone call to do the dirty...Pete I mean springs and load up on 305 caps and shirts from " El Pulguero" before I go..ha ha ha ha ha !!!!

Johnny If you have a new photoshot let me know so i can take the pic of the fellas with me...so i will be here till the first week of January and then have my car shipped at thier expense (Yeah !!!!) and wait for her the following week....
