Well the shurflo pump that I was using to evacuate the tubo took a **** last night. Still no fans on the car, but ran it enough to drive around the block and car started smoking out the exhaust. Pulled the down pipe off and oil everywhere. Pulled the pump off and wont pump any oil when stuck in a bucket. New turbo werx pump on the way........

Yeah, those shurlo pumps are not design for a hot running engine oil, I think they're mainly design just to pump water. I almost bought that couple of years ago just because of it's cheap price, but somebody talked me out of it. I know what you were thinking, my wallet is very attractive to cheap prices, too! Lol!

Turbowerx oil pump came in yesterday, installed it last night and fired it up this morning. Gonna take a while to burn all the oil out of the turbo and exhaust.
The cooling mist methanol kit arrived also. Here is a pic of it.
New fans will be here on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thanks man, any updates on yours? I am ready to see a startup video. As soon as the fans get here I can make brackets for them and wire then in. Then put it back on insurance and do the inspection on it. I will put the methanol on it after I start driving it and then swap the gears in a few weeks. Its getting there, just taking some time.

One out of two fans finally came in today, the other one will be here tomorrow. Probably won't get to work on mounting and wiring them till Thursday night or Friday night. Damn finals week for school is keeping me up late studying. I have next week off so the car should be back together and drive able then. I ordered an oil cooler and want to get that on the car before the bumper goes back on. I will take some pictures of the fans and the mounts that I build for them.

Waiting on a power steering hose to come in. Has some leaking issues, but should be taken care of next week. Putting the methanol kit on it Sunday. Getting insurance back on it next week also. Should be driving it hopefully by next weekend. Need to get some pictures tomorrow.
