Like the title says, I have a friend that is parting out a totaled '96 4x4 vortec blazer. He's getting tired of it sitting in his garage (no takers so far) so he's willing to give me the parts that I want if I put in the arm work. What parts should I scavenge for my typhoon?? As of now I know...

I'm interested, but I'd have to have at least 2 weeks notice to get the time off work (I work weekends).

sounds good...but this is my second vac source I've tried (the one under the TB being the first).

I'll do that when I get back, but my in cab boost gauge is reading boost (more than datamaster is saying that I'm getting). Should I hook the boost gauge to the new vac line I plumbed in (BOV to front manifold)?

It's the whole setup I bought off you (BOV, stainless turbo -> IC hose w/flange) so it's between the tb and the turbo. The BOV has the vac line coming off and t-ing into the front manifold vac source before any check valves. When you've installed the vortec BOVs have you had to massively...

I have it plumbed into my front manifold exhaust line...about an inch or two off the manifold so there's definitely no check valve before it. It's leaking pretty bad and I dont' have much adjuster screw left to play with. When it was all the way out it was basically an open system.

Thanks guys. I'll check that out when I get back to my truck. Would a crack up by the front plug spray carbon all over all three plugs? And the top of the manifold looks clean/ no carbon deposit.

What's the minimum you can take off to change the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket? Can I get away with just removing the upper IC?

I'm fighting a couple different problems right now. First is I have an exhaust leak coming off the bottom of my passenger side exhaust manifold (at least that's what I think: the spark plugs were all covered in carbon everywhere that was exposed.) I can hear it ticking, but I couldn't feel a...

thanks a lot. Just wanted to make sure before I dumped a bunch of crap into my engine :wink:

I'm looking to run some TEC through my engine tomorrow, and I've read all the steps and know to do change the oil/plugs etc. (it's about time for a fresh tune up anyway.) People say to pour about 2/3 to 3/4 of the can in slowly through the brake booster line without stalling the engine. I...

I got 7 right...the easy ones. The rest was wild guessing.

too bad that wasn't a year or so ago...there'd be an extra black/black typhoon in there.

I've liked those wheels since they first graced the pages of Car and Driver. I also love black wheels with a polished lip, but it may take a while to like the C6's done in that fashion because of the disjointed look caused by the spokes.

I'm in. I missed the last meet :( I'd just need a week or so in advance to make sure I could get the day off work.

Who's louver city? Quite the hefty amount of heat extractors on that black ty

I wouldn't run an '03 until I knew I could get some 12s slips out of my truck. What am I saying, I'd run one anytime, just don't think I'd beat him unless I could run 12's. A friend of mine had an '03 cobra and another buddy had an '02 L, those two vehicles really make me respect the SVT...

The STIs in Portland are throwing down sh*t numbers at the track (bad drivers, I know) but they're getting mid to low 14's and some are breaking into the 13's...I'd imagine they'd be a little easier to launch than that.

that's HOT :o

Jimmy, So you know which one he got huh? 8)
