My 16g Install :)))))

TheShortBus · Mar 8, 2008, 12:45 AM

So lancerrally45 is giving me a killer deal on his custom 16g set up and today as i started to take off my cia and springs im selling to another member on here and i just had this itch to start getting everything torn down and ready for the install

. Yeah you could say im jumpin the gun on everything seein that i wont even have it for about 2 weeks, but ive got my old s10 to drive in the mean time so i figured it wouldnt hurt.

After a few hours a buddy and i got most everything done. Took off my headlights and front bumper, took out the bat, got the coolant drained, took out the radiator, drained the oil, and took off the down pipe and header. (The far left bolt really is "The Bolt from Hell" too, we spent 30min just on gettin it off..) Then i dropped the struts to get the springs off and took off the cia cuz i sold them.

Ill deff keep updating once i start to get everything in. Ill most likely have some trouble with some stuff, so any help with be appreciated!

Anyway took a few pics of the destruction just for the hell of it. cant wait to be running 8-10psi

(took the pics with my blackberry, so they kinda suck.)

haha yeah gota digg the safety glasses... kept gettin sh!t in my eyes takin stuff off

well lancerrally45's stock fuel pump went out on him, so since hes givin me such a good deal on everything, tonight i went ahead and took out my stock pump to send to him. made a templet out of cardboard to seal up the hole until i get my 225.

those two black things under your crash bar, (no clue what they are) will need to come off, the intercooler bolts up to the outside bolts
