x8xViperx6x's OFFICIAL 2.2SC build
ok, well finally collected/have all the parts on their way. Had to get a few misc. things just yesterday, but now the official date of build is Sunday, August 30th. for which I will have my days off work to build.
I will try to take lots of pictures of everything I do, if anyone would like any specific pictures,(i.e. of a build step or any parts, etc) please PM me and I will see what I can do.
I will be running the M62 2.9" pulley on 42# w/ a cobra h/e. So I hope all goes well, if anyone has any questions or advice, please let me know. wish me luck.
EDIT: up and running! First start up: http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...t=MOV06482.flv

yep, thats right!
Thanks alot it should come in handy.
ha, ive been making a pile of tools/parts, this gonna be fun. lol.
Thanks all.
Hey Jn2 (or Gene!), on that site (posted above) where you have that diagram in the first post does anyone know the part number for part: 522 i think I need another one of those. The one i have doesnt seem to fit very well, not sure if it was due to heat and it expanded or something.. probably when i took it off to paint, and forgot outside..
Thanks in advance.

That thing was a pain in the ass to reinstall. I reconditioned my whole intake manifold. I got new seals for the laminova cores and all. Some of my seals were out of shape and squished flat. Since that gasket was so expensive, I just reused it and I must have wrestled with that gasket for about a half hour or more, at least.

Ok, todays update, just got my friends garage cleaned out, so I could actually start. So purty much all I did was disassemble the front bumper and headlights, and preped everything, tools, parts, table etc. So tomorrow bright and early going to start to disassemble the rest. Then depending on how late it is going to reassemble.
Yeah after I found out it could fit, i just got as much as I could in, then I held both sides and just shoved it in, it was a tight fit, but i set quite nicely took maybe fifteen min. So far so good Ill have some pictures in a few. I also painted the SC the IM and the TB looks good imo.
Pics of the SC here,
Let me know what you guys think..

wow that looked like mine back when i did mine :p all i can say is
get a catch can :p
you need to use throttle body cleaner or brake cleaner, let is soak up, than wipe it off...
also be sure you cut ur intake manifold gasket like pictured below
and heres the diagram for the 8pin throttle body...

ok, thats such a relief! Im so glad you guys are here to help!! lol.. I took a break, had to pick up my friend from work(borrow his car), we are back now, going to take a min, will start back up in an hour or so. I also ordered the LSJ intake manifold gasket(18$), will I still have to modify it or is that the stock L61 gasket?

Ahh. I see. Well I didn't do that, lol. I will have to check my block when I do dual pass or something.
The L61 and my LAP had the o-rings so they don't have that type of gasket, so you'd have to modify the LSJ gasket. I'd like to see a pic of the stock LSJ gasket. Can you snap one?

just a quick update made some progress cleaning up the oil, everything is disassembled, coolant is drained. All ready for installation bright and early tomorrow morning, will probably start rewiring as well. So far, its all going well.. but we will see for sure tomorrow!
some more pics:
Clean! well clean'er ish..
much better than before
the work area, thanks to pyskotikpyro, my buddy who is helping me out.
got the pillar on the way, but for now, wiring them all up.
Also, under the plastic cover on the front bumper, the paint looks to be rubbing off, thats not good, could be a weak spot for future rust.. just something to think about, anyone elses doing this??
Does anyone have the AEM uego? I have no idea where to wire it.. obviously the big connector goes to the o2 sensor, the other has four different color wires.. anyone have any idea? if not, gotta do some more research..
both of these go in the back of the gauge..
the four loose wires in this pic.. i dont know where they go.
So, now im waiting for parts to arrive........ IM gasket, cobra h/e, and alt bracket, I expect to get them all today, we will see tomorrow!
