Wow that sounds so cool when you rev it. I love my V8 and all, but for some reason I expect that type of sound to come of the back of a rare japanese car rather than a V8 gurgle

Looking great man, clean work

Thanks man!

Unfortunately something bad happened.

I was trying to install the Serpentine belt by prying between the tensioner, and the power steering pump pully.

I pushed a little too hard and broke the small tab that bolt the left side of the P/S pump right off the block!

Time to figure out how to mount it back on.

Thanks man.

Oh, before this I did a 4wd GTS4 RB20 in a s13 coupe. Didn't finish I'll admit, but it was all in there! It is possible to do 4wd in a s13.

Okay BOT.

I drove the car down the street for the first time with the new setup, and it's wonderful!

Vids soon!

Thanks guys! I'm Flattered.

I did figure out the pulley, it's the Auto trans function that's beating me now.

Well, this much I have learned:

When you go to take these off,


These are on real tight in a tight space.


So when you are using different techniques to get more torque, make sure these,


Are pointing down so you don't do this.


Other then that my manifold will be here tomorrow, and I will be installing the HX35, a new rear main seal, and the R154!
