** Rebuilding a Stroked/Turbo VT Ecotec **

as in that L shaped bung?? well upside down L? ive got the side of the tb bung connected to that already, this fitting is on the bottom of the tb, i remember it going to back of the motor maybe?? have i got the hose from the manifold to the tb in the wrong one?

that barb under the TB might be the one that runs across/underneath the plenum(towards the little sensor on the back of the head) then if youve already connected the Lshape one? im at work at the moment, so i can confirm either way when i get home. ill check the VX if no one else has confirmed by then.

i got another VT coming so i can compare...still gotaa sort this short Bull***t out...

 

[klampy]

where do these go to?? only 2 things left to hook up

this one im not sure about. as my wagon doesnt seem to have that hose. from what youve said, it comes out of the firewall? if thats the case then youve lost me, however,
the one coming out of your TB >

goes to the little sensor thing on the back of the D/side head. it must be either some sort of map sensor, or somthing to do with the polltion stuff... its the long hose that runs under the plenum.

update time!

the engine is officially finished! all thats left to do is put extractors on and find where that pipe goes, but they good ol' pacey's need a bit of modding because they hit the ARP head studs, its ever so close so i gotta shave just a teenie bit off.

WE BUILT OIL PRESSURE! i saw my car come to life for the first time haha the motor wanted to start....so close

Be careful using thread tape on your fuel line fittings, loctite thread paste or even stag is the way to go
