Title: Need engine bay pics
Post by: Pedro on September 27, 2006, 06:06:50 PM

I want engine bay pics of just the driver side. i would prefer pics with the intake boot removed if anyone has them.

I'm about to finish putting my motor back together but it looks clutered and shitty. I dont remember it being that way before so i want to try and clean it up somehow.

Maybe it will always stay that way but i just wanted some pics to see other engines to compare.

Thanks.

Here's mine as of today...  almost back together, but it is a bit windy now and is supposed to storm later, so I broke early.

Pull stock pressure sender, clean up all the oil that will spill (you DID do this in conjunction with an oil change, so the filter housing is empty, right?)

Install oil pressure gauge sensor on adapter.

Install stock pressure sender.

Place adapter next to filter housing.

Install through-bolt, with a washer between the adapter and the filter housing and a washer between the adapter and the bolt head.

Have a beer.

This close enough?

It's missing one extra feed on the T for the oil line to the turbo.

While we're at it. The circled location is where my e30m3 oil temp sensor is plugged in.
