I was planning on putting some oil into each cylinder, wait a day and turn motor by hand before starting it.
Thanks boys.
I primed my oil system by removing the spark plugs and disconnecting the fuel injector wires and turned the motor over with the starter for about 30 seconds.
Just finished moving most of my belongings from my mums house to my house. No garage at the moment due to renovations so all the car parts are staying in the spare room.

Picked up some oem parts yesterday. Exhaust manifold gasket and flywheel bolts. Still to come are spark plug seals, top seals and a rear main seal.

Very sad week as my dog is up for an adoption, 5 month old Marlo. I have 3 good friends coming to see him this weekend.
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_4815.jpg
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_4818.jpg
Congrats on the move and sorry about Marlo! At least he will go to a good friend. Nice wheel collection!
I miss him already. Anyways after searching up on fittings etc for the oil feed, I ended up having one in the turbo kit I bought from JDL. So much win right now.
Worked on the motor a little tonight.
Pulled out the plugs and to my suprise, Hks sparkies! Ballin101.

Threw straight on the K&N air filter, will definitely get a proper intake fabricated up once the car is at the running stages
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_4834.jpg
Mocked up the turbo oil return fitting.
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_4836.jpg
I tested and tried out many ways to route the oil feed line and I'm pretty set on this layout.

It feels like I am so close to the finish line but all the little things I want to do all add up. The downside now is that I need to respray my engine bay again, found some small bubbles of rust on the shock tower.
I should have just did the prep job from the beginning to be honest, I really hate these problems creeping up on me by surprise like this.
wow this is an amazing build........

I respect for all those who have a clean setup, it's a bloody big job.
that's how I routed my feed too.
I think that's the best way to route it unless you made your own line. The other ways I tried had too much slack left in the line.Quote:

As for the decal, I would love to support this forum.
Got my Hardrace bushings pressed in by the boys at ZEDS. I will be giving these arms a good clean up before it goes back together with the car. I will also be applying some paint to the bushings metal surface as they are known to rust.

JHPUSA have some really nice looking stickers. Thanks again to Jeff @ JHPUSA for looking after me.
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_5899.jpg
Another beautiful update! The customs thing would've drove me nuts after 3 weeks! How do you know if it's in customs? Does the tracking number information tell you? Just wondering, AFAIK I've never had to worry about customs. #NY #Woot
Sweet updates
Btw I have a set of new blackworks rear lower control arms if u interested.
Tracking tells you all the information. If the package has your contact number on it they will call you haha, if not they mail you a letter.Quote:

I told them that JHPUSA was sponsoring my car for race events. So they gave me huge discounts. I got Jeff at JHP to rewrite the invoice aswell.
Lucky escape, would of been real annoying if the package got sent back.
I just got new bushings pressed into my dc2r arms haha.Quote:

I probably won't be using this rocker cover though. Next rocker cover I'll be shaving the OEM breather port and will be welding on a single -16an fitting preferably to the back near the firewall for my custom catch can setup

Was a little bored last night so I decided to work on the Hasport Mounts, started by removing the old inserts. Next will be a good wet sanding session followed by buffing with metal polish and finally reassembling everything with the new 88a inserts

I've been in billet mounts before. 88a can't be that bad haha.Quote:

It seems as if I have the wrong fitting angles or the wastegate is blocking it.
This is my oil return:

I doubt this helps you though since you're using a sidewinder manifold. Could you post a picture of your issue?
Hrmm. I'll just take another look at it when the gearbox goes on. Thanks a lot for the input almk :)Quote:

With the previous slack on the oil feed line I fiddled and mucked around a little more and concluded to this. Not too sure if I will have any problems with it routed this way so please chime in the experts out there.

check out the light passing through the K-Tuned cut out!

http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_5939.jpg
It will be sitting like this untouched for now until I get the gearbox sorted, intake manifold shaved and coated and a few other small bits and pieces.
Gotta love your pic skills man.
And np with the oil line that way, mine is the same.
Cheers
Ya oil line looks much better now that you've directed it away from the exhaust manifold. If it were to touch that while running for any length of time the line would be ruined.
I'll see how it goes, worse case scenario I'll end up making a hard line setup for it.
I couldn't run the line around towards my firewall because I shaved everything back there.
I think your current routing is perfect.
Gave the old hasport mounts a little Tlc. They are bruised and battered, you can only make them so much better.
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_5925.jpg
88a inserts are in nice and snug. (put these inserts in by hand and a rubber mallet, what a nightmare)
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_5949.jpg
Skunk 2 front camber arms getting a bit of Tlc aswell. Old ball joint were beyond repair.

I'm missing a few things from them and might consider ordering some more haha.
Thanks for the positive comment champ.
That's it! The real guy that got me buying these were Kerry chilfstar, his engine was porn to me.Quote:

Oil return line installed and the heat reflecting split sleeves are on the way along with a few other things.
I might change the fitting for the oil sump side to a 45 degree fitting.
http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/IMG_5985.jpg
Looking great. I would definitely change the oil pan fitting to a 45 though. But you have to watch where the axle half shaft will be as well
Ya you want that oil return as straight and 'downhill' as possible, especially if it's a journal bearing turbo.
Well lucky it's a ball bearing so that's 1 tick.
I should have gotten the return bung welded closer, what was I thinking lols.
What if I swap the fittings around? I was worried the straight fitting might have clearance issues with the gearbox.
Had to move the motor and parts to another room as my friend is going to rent a room. Ultimate mission but it's getting done slowly.
