make sure you crank it with out the injector fuse a bit so you can build oil pressure
then after that is done pop the fuse bcak in and push start it
why are you push starting it again...lol

yeah i had my dads truck jump start.. The battery did get weaker tho during the time of the swap, its still a new battery...yous guys know if autozone charges ur battery for free?or was it pepboys or kragen that does it?

i was wondering if you kept the TII trans/drive train throughout the whole swap...Turbo, back to na, now back to turbo... cause im planning my swap, and if you kept your TII trans/diff when you had the n/a in there maybe i could start from there on up.. if so, what did you have to do for it all to work with the n/a?

My Na was weak with the turbo drivetrain setup.. I think cause the t2 drivetrain is beefier than NAs=more rotating mass..
well as of now, its t2 tranny, t2 driveshaft, NA welded diff, and na halfshafts..
Ive heard from my friend saying drifters can push up to 300 hp on stock halfshafts np.
If your guna use a NA motor with t2 drivetrain, Youll need to swap a t2 flywheel on ur NA motor, get aimpact gun to remove teh flywheel nut, swap the flywheels..It has to be a t2 flywheel to fit in a t2 tranny.

The paint was color matched with OMNI brand paint ,I think its also from PPG? But yeah its the cheapest paint you can buy in paint stores that works well. Instead of reducer, I used Acetone to mix it 1:1 [acetone is cheaper than reducer and works fine] The clear is A New European brand called UPOLV, its like $80 a gallon. My gun is 10 year old Devilbliss....I miss my anest Iwata.... I still need to get the waterborn adpaters...to convert my gun... I have 4 cheap homedepot water traps hooked up to my compressor...

PPG D## code Gloss black Global, plus MET. silver..... Going for a carbon LOOK...
Hmm some gold pearrllll for the 2nd stage paint

Result should be something like Black carbon pearl goldd.
