got the coupling but you know what. I FAILED miserably this time. On the ebay auction it had a title saying 4ply reducer 2.5-3" coupling, and in the pictures it had like 4 couplers. So I thought itwas 4 couplers for $15. I got the coupling last night and itwas just ONE coupler. I checked teh auction again, and in the bottom in small black letters says auction for one coupling. SOO GAYYYY..fails so hard....so Im guna go pick up another coupling today from another store for only $12 fatboy garage ....

then new look
 

well im not really diggin it.. but its better than my smashed t2 hood. ALl I need is a new windshield.. In the sunlight youcan see the metalics almost resembling carbon fiber haha , also put a sticker to cover the pin hole dent.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...k/P1020279.jpg

I was thinking I remembered seeing alot of ceiling VENTS at homedepot. I can cut out the NA hood and cut the skeleton out to reduceweight and add a large vent on the top ..and paint rivited....It will be functional too...

hmmm

well I got first dibs on that & Im guna have to strip her couplings from top to bottom!!!:icon_tup: :lol: You can guys can have sloppy seconds

ROFL! dude im about done swappin in the new t2 motor, just gotta wire it up!!!

i figured as much with the flywheel.. once you modified the t2 driveshaft it still fits both na and t2 diffs? cause if that's the case then ill just swap the trans/driveshaft for now and have fun tearin it up for a little while on my n/a lsd before going all out t2

thanks btw

Dk Start Your Car Already Tooooo!!!

I drove to fatboy garage in traffic and picked up the coupler....Drove home...installed it, trie dto fire it up no bueno....:( I added ATF to the rear housing in the Leading spark plug hole, cranked it it back fired sick like, and wants to start but the starter is still spining too slow...

a better clearer video...It sounds quiet on video for somereason, in person it VERY loud

I still need a new starter, the starter Kent and Himeh gave me is faster than mines but still not fast enough to start the engine.. I still have to pop start it to get the engine fired... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Secu9FZg1A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Secu9FZg1A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

DAMN DK!! SOUNDS SWEEEEEEET GLAD TO HEAR IT FIRED UP !!!

my t2 is still fucking up on me....

whats wrong with it himeh?? TRY ATF in both front and rear Leading sparkplug holes, and POP start it down the street!!!!!!!!

The good :

engine fires up, sounds healthy, no leaks, stays cool[good efan from himeh], shot flames upon start up:)

the badd:
Starter is too slow, my clutch fork feels weird, wont leme shift to 1st gear sometimes, EATS ALOT OF gas[ate 2gallons in 1hour of idleing], LOUD and no longer street legal, Must pop start it to start...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...k/P1020284.jpg

breaking in, the intercooler works well, on the left side piping is HOT, the right side is cold...

i might, the car turns over, but wont catch... its fucking lame..


i need help on this shit,, need ppl to come and help me check it out... im out of ideas..:wallbash:

dood i just got done smokin salvia...fuckkkk crazy

like the starter isnt cranking? just have ur truck push the fc and pop start 2nd gear

car sounds nice. i didnt know that Street ports are loud.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxcPC0QMx5U

heres the fail vid

ohhh snap someone will be street swanging their shieeeet soon!!!

Thats whats up. Boosted so far is:

kent,me,dk,and jaime ( until further notice)....I say we all go for a backfire/pop start run :lol:

sorry fellas, i don't really backfire.
either i might be running on the leaner side of the A/F ratio,
or, maybe the spark plugs is doing it's job combusting. :D


as for the starter DK,
i think i have 1 more in my garage.
if you're in the area, hit me up.
i remember jaime giving a total of 3 TII starters i believe...
1 that's on my car, one i that i gave you, then another one i find under the rubble of N/A drivetrain-ness.


other than that, congrats on your mAd DoRiFtO F-Cizzle.
now it's zerox7's turn to see what's up.

DAYUM ur starter turns waaaayyy faster than mine !!!! Maybe its my battery???
How come u dont hold the key longer??? Did you try atf yet??? Its gurantee to work !!! I got a silicone hose and dipped it in atf ,pluged the other side and inject it into the spark plug holes and blow in the hose with ur mouth, and then rotate the motor by hand and inject more on each face front and rear. It will give it much compression to start !!!!

Bad grounds will also cause slow starting.

Himeh, have you checked for vacuum leaks?

alrite it was able to start on its own today, i guess the compression is building up. I started it with just the starter instead of pop starting. :) I let it idle for an hour and then [by the end of the hour] oil was slowly driping out of the oil cooler where the oil cooler line bolts too, and one return fuel lines is bad, its leaking fuel slowly down the front of the tranny. So i shut off the car and now its just chillin.. When it cools ill Tighten the oil line and replace the fuel line...

after i started it in neutral, I cant go into first gear or 2nd or any gear?? its weird like my clutch isnt disengaging even if i push down the clutch. I have a feeling it is my clutch fork in the tranny.:( any suggestions?

did you bleed it correctly? try it

yeah i bleed it.. i think its my pilot bearing...It disengaes but not all the way. The hydrolics are fine. The clutch and pressure plate was decent, but iremember the clutch fork and pilot bearing looked bad..
damn i need to replace my whole clutch asssembly.... :( whats easiers pull the motor out or pull the tranny out???

I remember awhile ago when I would drive my t2 hard in the mountains, after the run my tranny would get hot and id get stuck in neutral, until it cools down I could shift out of it...Now its worst, now its full time stuck in neutral when the engine is running, sometimes I can slam it into first with force, so I think its only partialy disengaging...

so a few things I need to fix to run right

new clutch assembly and pilot bearing[ I think,will check again...]
replace fuel lines
tighten oil cooler lines

time to pull the tranny again =p

so close man. Just gotta get it reliable so you can get on with your life =p

:( :( its never ending I TELL YA !!!! :(

what was that line that was under your username?
"i epicly fail at life"? :rofl:

DK, you're too funny man. :lol:

Oh noez...back to the drawing board huh?

Pull that tranny and do your thing man...

zero vaccum leaks. and grounds are good..

i did start the car today, how ever it only idles if i hold the gas pedal..

pulled up the engine code, *code 18- throttle sensor(tps) narrow range-fixed at full-open??

yeah dk i feel ya on the epic faiil that is a t2, haha wacksauce,...

im on the same boat as you son.

im close though, i gotta fix the tps? and should be okay. i hope..

ey let me know if you need help with anything.

well today i went thru half a tank break in the motor, never went past 3k,idling at 1200rpm. I clean up everything and 30 min. cops came .They said several neighbors are complaining and they will tow my car if somebody complains again. So sums it up Icant even start my engine at home. sweeeeeet ! this engine is that ganngsta

i gotta save $$ and get a trailer so I can tow it to the dessert and break it in..lol
Today my fc brought darkness into the sky with its black and blue smoke , the ozone is hurtin now.. damn is it normal for it to run like that once you install block off plates and delete the rats nest? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TlOTjd4_dHA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TlOTjd4_dHA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

can u put ur top mount back on? i say make the engine look stock, and just pull the kit for a while and see if you can try to get to drive it around... if u can bring it to as stock as possible

tmrw im guna pull the tranny and see whats up with the pilot bearings and clutch fork..

3k rpm backfire. Its so easy to shoot flames, not even trying to and it just always does it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...uck/DKFC3S.gif

Acid angel explained to me why its so much blue smoke, its because when I premixed, I put too much oil, so its just burning up alot of premixed oil. I think thats good for break in... il put a bit less next time..

why is one side of ur tail light on? lol wow dude alot of traffic on that cross street, you live right off a busy street huh?

when i modded my tail lights I accidently melted where the bulb goesin, so I have to gind it out abit to fit the bulbs back in. Fail again lol. Iwas just so concentrated on the engine stuff that I forgot to fix the tail light.

My friend that recorded the flame said he felt the flame/force hit him in the chest from where h was recording. shitz intense. Icant wait till I fix the clutch and break in the motor then driftevent!

damn dk!! YOUR IS FUCKING SWEET!!

IM STILL HAVING STUPID PROBLEMS WITH MINE... I NEED HELP...

PULLED the tranny out.. It was a pain... since im by myself, had to muscle bench press it out.. lol and i forgot to drain the fluid so all this fluid spilled lol. damn

Ifigured the problem. As soon as I pulled the tranny out the bearing from the clutch fork just came out. And the clutch fork was loose because the springwasnt holding it. So this was the culprit why my clutch wasnt disengaging all the way.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...k/Image232.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...k/Image233.jpg

installed it back in, and now everything is perfect again. :) cleaned the tranny too..:)

another problem i discovered..when JPR installed my tranny, they use the NA mount and so the tranny dampener isnt even bolted in to the tranny mounts, its just bolted in the middle of the trannys ball thing.. :( dont trust JPR.

sooo my motor blew today..

how did u blow it? wasnt it less than 30k?? damn man........

The tranny is heavy, I cant bench press it back up by myself... My jackstands dont go that high for enough room for me to be under my tranny and press it back up...damn... I tried using a jack, but I need another one to lift it up ..
