Matt, you're car is being attacked by boxes!
Not anymore... Couldn't find anything in the garage after my roommate did his transmission swap so my friend and I spent tonight cleaning the garage.. Fifteen black trashbags and ten or so boxes later, I can see the car.... And more importantly work on it. No progress tonight, but enabling progress for tomorrow.

NICE.
Plan for tonight is to get fuel line mounted, pull intake manifold (Again!) and figure out how i'm getting the starter wired once and for all.
Stretch goal, unhook the goddamned hub YET again so a buddy can lathe it down for me.

Shit man, no worries.
Thursday is my "go drink beer with friends" night, so you won't see me do shit tomorrow.
Tonight was my "drink beer with car" night.
Turbo: INSTALLED.
Control arms: measured for sleeves.
Now i can see how to run the turbo drain better than before; once that's in, I can button up the axles, which lets me get the hubs, alternator and a couple other things in line. Never found my old drain line. Looks like i get to buy another.

Holy fuck silicone drain line is expensive. Had the dude at carquest cut me 2 feet, because we both figured about 3.50/4.00 a foot. We both went off when it rang in around 12.50/ft. He cut me a break on the price, but daaaamn. Still out 8.60/ft. At least the turbo drain will be in though.

Turbo drain, plumbed.
Crank scraper, installed.
Crank scraper, uninstalled.
Windage tray that fits close enough to BE a crankscraper, installed.
I've lost two engines now to oil starvation. NEVER AGAIN.

Stock SRT4 clutch for now. uncut. Targeting just over 300hp, should hold fine.

Yep.
Got a little more done tonight. My motor has a weird piece that bolts onto the oil pump and curves around back behind the oil pan to hold the filter. Think SRT4 oiling, but external to the steel pan.
Well, now I have an intermediate shaft back there, and wanted the clearance... so I went up to a buddy's house with the neck since he's got a bandsaw. Plan was cut the flange off, tap it to NPT, and run remote oil filter.
...well he got creative, and built a tool to hold the bandsawed flange off the neck, chucked it in the lathe, and made a smooth area for O rings to sit on. Gonna order AN fittings tomorrow once I figure out how big I need (looks like 8AN but gotta check), and run the remote oil filter. Should prevent ANY chance of cracking the cast AL with an NPT fitting... just in case.

Pressfit. Twist and pull. Had to glue mine back in with RTV. Hope it holds.

Speaking of which, we're all long overdue for a night over here. Lemme get the kegerator over here and i think i'll declare barbeque night... or better yet, Kiley keeps saying she wants to cook, maybe i'll just be lazy.

Didn't want to convert to SRT oil pump, pickup,etc plus originally built this motor before SRT came out, and crankscraper was fitted to this pan.

So obviously you're stuck on some of these, but what can you install tonight? Can you make headway on the gauges, etc?

OK. Night of little forward progress, but a night none-the-less.
Pulled the front motor mount back out, fettled it into shape slightly. Tonight was the night of "crap, better chase that hole too". I had to run my rethreader down damned near every bolt hole for the FMM assembly; apparently the motor didn't like not having anything threaded there for like 6 years. has the assembly in and out about 6 times, had to fire up the air cutter, too. Tools are awesome.
Ordered a pizza, poured myself a beer and just got down to business. Once that was done, i got the passenger seat bolted in. Now i've got a list of parts to order a mile long.
Gotta get an M16 tap, 2 M16-8AN adapters, 48" of 3AN, a clutch fitting, and a new rear engine mount, plus go pick up 3 M6x1 bolts tomorrow to hold this damned oiler plate in place.
Edit: parts ordered. 75 at Summit, 32 for the engine mount, 20 for the tap. Bleh. I feel broke.

Axles are in, at least temporarily. I can now say SRT4 axles fit a 1gen, with 2gen hubs, special intermediate shaft adapter and no control arms 
Its nice seeing boxes end up in the recycle bin after years and years.

I get my turbo oil lines tonight. So then I can pick a spot to have the drain bung welded to the pan and take it to a shop.
Pick a spot above the oil line while the motor is mounted!
I made the mistake of picking a spot that looked fine on the bench but with the angle the motor sits in the car its below level.

As soon as that and my intake manifold are back I will assemble the engine and bolt up the tranny then bolt it in the car. A week or two? Then I can really dig in and bolt the wheels on/ plumb the lines, wiring, etc. Matt my ADD probably prevented me from seeing it. Are you Megasquirting?
yes I am. Leaving the stock ECU for some control, but running fuel and spark through the MS.

Its been at least a year since I built mine, we'll see what i can remember, but of course i'll answer questions. One of my coworkers used to build them when he owned a fab shop, he's forgotten more than i know about 'em. We'll get it figured one way or another.
Progress last night: 0, stuck at work until 1am.

Oh man! So, yet another night of no progress on the car, since again i'm stuck at work overnight. (Yay deadlines.)
BUT- My Summit shipment got here, and it's almost as if they knew i'd be here, they included a free 5hr Energy in the goodie bag in one of the boxes!! So yeah, unblocked to finish and bleed clutch finally... if i ever get home. Gratuitous pic of awesome parts... stuck at work with me follows.

If you bolt the pan down during the welding process, won't that (help) prevent warpage?

I hope the welder will do that. I actually was advised to move the bung over/down a little from the original location. Which requires a new 10an line, doh.

*grumble*
So i went to hook the coolant circuit up on the turbo. Had to reclock the center housing... then i fired some fittings i'd used last time on it... now i'm lacking the fittings i need to do it proper, and can't clock the center to clear the manifold with the drain hooked up.
LOLwhoops. Waiting on new fittings, and i'll cut another proper length drainline outta that expensive fuckin' silicone drainline... grumble.

So you're ALMOST there after only 18 days?
I guess telling you it couldn't be done was an effective strategy.

Woo...never figured it'd happen.. SvA
accidental tech day! Endo came by, and we desnorkused his new forester, and put some neon time in.. Remote oil filter is placed, he pulled the coolant bottle, plotted where the battery will live..... Got the air cutter all up in his thousand mile forester, it was a productive afternoon!

Yes and no. Honestly, I'd be just as ok with starting a family, getting on with life and remembering the car in 10 more years. I could sit on this and just be happy to know I had a project whenever I want to tinker. It's been paid off since 99,all its costing is the space it takes.

Seriously, right? Scott, you're down to the last month, and your last update was over a week ago. Curse you for finding gainful employment.
