Thread: Let's try this again....

So some of you may know that the last attempt to bring life back to the GSX didn't go so well. And though the jury is still diliberating the exact reason for it's failure I've gotten back into it and will start with the assembly when I get back next week.

This time however there's gonna be a couple key things I'm gonna 4x check before I even think about starting this baby up. So here's the updated version of what's going into the beeyatch.

-2.4L G4CS Block (Machined and "Assembled' by COMPTEC USA)
-Has the standard stroker set-up (weisco pistons, eagle rods, ARP everything, fluidampr pulley, New everything but crank)
-Stage IV Head (Built by Polk performance then updated by COMPTEC...Had them throw some crower springs/retainers in)
-Keeping with the SBR GT11 Turbo...for now.
-DSM Link
-SBR FMIC

and the usual bunch o' goodies (External Oil cooler, GM MAF, gauges o'rama, blah blah blah)

I'll have about 2 weeks from when I get back from the trip I'm on right now before I have to go on the road again. So I'm hoping to have everything assembled and the engine in the car by the time I leave again then start working out all the minor stuff when I get back.

I'll post pics and progress when I get back and start assembly....

Just thought I'd share

Crappy pic I know....

I got home yesterday afternoon and plan on working on it throughout the weekend.

Probably done working on it for the night but the plan for tomorrow is to
-Figure out how I'm gonna route some water lines
-Double check some stuff with the turbo
-Install the lifters, rockers, cams
-Oil pan
-Possibly timing belt (I would like an extra set of eyes on it while I do it though...just to eliminate any doubt)
-Oil filter Housing

If I get all that stuff done tomorrow then I should be set to take it off of the stand ....But of course I also have to work on the GF's car tomorrow, file some paperwork at work, get more tat work done , and go to the pick n' pull. So we'll see.
