Day 5 TD

 Day 5 was a drag since I didn’t have any new parts to put on the car. I worked for an hour or 2 checking for exhaust leaks and making sure those new gaskets were sealed up nice. Ended up braking my garage door so I needed to move my tools out of the garage so they didn’t get stolen. Called the garage guys and got a date on when they could come. Had lunch with Don McCarthy mid day to take off some weight. Got back to an hour of wiring work in the afternoon. Total of 4 hours of work on Friday.

It didn’t take me long at all to get the car started up so I could test what was wrong. I was concerned about how productive I was going to be considering I didn’t have much packed on Monday. Things ended up taking a turn on Tuesday morning.  I had a friend go over to the house and pack my tools into the Jeep and coordinate a tow truck to bring it up.

When it arrived I had already spent Monday morning disassembling an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold. This helped me out big time. On Tuesday afternoon when I got back from practice, I began assembling the sensors on the new throttle body. After that, I got my injectors mounted inside the fuel rails and sealed them to the intake manifold. I spend some time that day putting together a list of w

Day 6

 Day 6 I began shopping for piping in the morning to weld into the pre existing turbo kit, me and Chris drove down to Boston to pick up a y pipe that will split under the front pipe on the bottom of the car. We were out for about 3 hours on the morning then came home to pack up the rest of the turbo kit to bring up north. This was a total of 9 hours considering the drive time up and down from Boston and Andover.

Day 2 TD

 Day 2 was a big day for the operation. Jeep got hauled up to wilmot in the morning. I began unloading tools and parts out of the truck to get me ready to roll. Headed out to baseball practice shortly after the arrival of the jeep. When I got back I began assembling the sensors on the new throttle body (circular part with butterfly valve in the middle). After that I got my injectors mounted inside the fuel rails and sealed them to the intake manifold. Spend some time putting together a list of what I needed from Massachusetts and the hardware store.
