Boring sunday turns into an engine swap
I got real sick this weekend but I was going to pull my Engine, It has to happen this upcoming weekend. I want to pull the Engine/Tranny/T-Case as one Unit. I am going to remove the Exhaust Manifold and Turbo. Do you think that this will allow everything to clear without issues?

Neteru... I answer the twin BOV question all the time... there is some thought to my maddness though 
...
The 1g when it was a manual, was blowing the tires (26 by 9.5 slicks) to the 1000' mark. The car also has 55" inch wheelie bars behind it too. It will never get traction to be honest. However I am being optimistic about it, after this auto conversion is complete.
eldiablo79--- It just takes a little imagination, patience and research, but anyone, anytime, can accomplish whatever it is that they put their mind's to.

delongedoug... I just used the screw driver method to get the TOB to disengage, I guess I got lucky
Red-evo8 ... This is just a hobby, civil engineering pays the bills for me, granted I would rather be designing dsm/evo stuff than bridges and highways
demod--- You have to disconnect the transfer case though... otherwise everything else will come out as one unit, even if you left the turbo assembly on.. Hope you feel better.
alright since I got all the questions answered here we go
more progess
Well folks it has been another busy weekend with the car. Lots of miscelaneous things were completed..
first up we had to drill the exhaust manifold for the EGT probe. I did not have ***** big enough to make a hole in mani. So my roomate, jeremy did this...
the runners were so thick probably 5mm if I was to guess, that it took him over an hour to punch through it.
I then made a bracket to hold my methanol pump and catch can system. Since the car no longer has a slave cylinder, I bolted it to the tranny where the slave cylinder used to be. Turned out decent.
Next up was the downpipe fabrication. I called up my buddies that are really good with making this stuff so that we could tag time the fabrications..
I am using a recessed 3" Stainless steel 4 bolt flange from atp, along with a V-band for quick disconnect.
The angle out of the turbine housing
in the picture below you can see the oil return line which is -10 Pro lite hose, with a straight -10 AN fitting and a 45 degree -10 AN fitting..
smooth transitions to the downpipe
and a shot of the v band clamp that is directly below the oil pan
Next up we fabricated the lower IC pipe.. This too is out of Stainless steel. It is 2.5 inches in diameter
It was a little tricky because of the angles that were involved, but we got it done though.
The lower IC goes directly into my buschur race 4" FMIC. I think it turned out great.
So now all the plumbing to the turbo is completed , which includes supply and return oil stuff, as well as all the cooling fittings.
The only thing that is left, is the fabrication of the dump tube for the Wastegate.. That one will be challenging.
I hope you have enjoyed my activities..I shall definitely continue to post more as I go a long.
Later.

I don't think there is anything better than working on a evo and getting wasted at the same time...Normally I drink Guiness, but I can't be getting too drunk, while doing this crap. Just need that small buzz I think we have gone through quite a few cases of ol blue this past week
