    IC pump location

    Damn, guys, I just saw a writeup on this within the last few weeks and now couldn't find it thru 4 pages of Engine Tech. Does the lower IC pump pump into or suck out of the lower IC radiator ? The flow has to go from the bottom connection on the Upper IC to the lower Rad and then back to the...

    Wrong CAS Lower IC

    Hey Guys, Just getting around to installing the CAS Lower IC water cooler that I bought a few years ago. I fitted it up and it looks like I'm F'ed. I must have gotten one of Tony's 1st ones that has the In/Out connections on the Drivers side. This was found to be unworkable because it runs into...

    Vac Lines to TB

    Ok Guys, I'm hooking up the SyTy BBK Throttle Body and wondering what lines go to what ports. I see 5 ports, and the little one in the front goes to the line to the charcoal canister, right ? It looks like the rear PCV line goes to the smaller of the two yellowish steel ports in the back of...

    Turbo Shield ?

    Hey Guys, I guess the GN cars have Turbo Shields. I look at my new hot turbo sitting there with all kinds of things around it that don't want the heat. I wonder if a shield would be good or bad and how hard it would be to make one ? I'm surprised somebody hasn't made one for the SyTy's for...

    Starting - Purple wire size

    I was just looking at the manual and it shows the purple wire to the solenoid to be 6 nmm, which is ~ 10 AWGauge. I thought a bunch of our guys were replacing this wire with a 10 AWG wire to the solenoid. The above info seems to say that it already a 10 AWG wire, so why would they be doing...

    Hey Guys w a CVR starter, Mine is bolted in, but I haven't hooked up my battery yet to test it out electrically. When I pry on the starter gear to pull it back into the Flexplate, it seems to be a little tight when trying to engage the drive teeth w the FP teeth. I've shimmed it down about as...

    Hey Guys, I'm hooking up my Autometer AM meter, and I guess we are supposed to hook to the purple wire into the O2 sensor. I see it coming out of the 3-wire connector that connects to the O2, but would have to go into the engine compartment to get it. Does anyone know where this purple wire...

    Propshaft Bolts

    Hey Guys, I got the 10.8 Hex-head bolts for the Propshaft - tough to find. I also got some new stockers (they're cheap) in case I couldn't get a wrench on the big heads on the rear bolts. I was able to get a wrench on the rears by turning the shaft once and torqued to 52 Ft-#'s. From the...

    Filter depth in Deep Trans Pans

    Guys, I guess our Trans filter goes to the bottom of the stock pan ? So, when U go w a Deeper pan, do U have to lower the filter down ? I got my beefed Trans from PATC, and the deep pan didn't work out so I removed it. Then I noticed that they had wired the filter in - I guess so that it...

    Of course, now that I have the Centerlink, Pitman and Tie Rods bolted in, I see the inner flange of the Drivers side axle is leaking fluid.
