New 7M Install

[TweeT91109]

Ok Well to start off todays work I got some parts in the mail. Thats always fun. They included a new oil pressure sending unit, battery tie down bracket, ARP flywheel bolts, and i'm guessing OEM replacement pressure plate bolts.

After I got done with a late Christmas I got to the motor. I started by repainting the following. And starting to put the wiring back on.

1.Upper intake plenum
2.Fuel bracket
3.3000 pipe
4.Motor mounting brackets
5.Something else that I probably forgot about.



Painted mounts

Upper plenum repainted,you can also see the wiring mess.

Installed a new oil pressure sending unit

Dirty cover that I later cleaned lol

My old oil pressure sending unit that still probably works, it just has a bunch of oil and paint on it.

So I messed up the gasket on the upper plenum to some valve I want to say its the IAC valve but i'm not sure. So I had to make my own being that there wasn't a replacement one in the kit I bought. It turned out pretty easy to cut and make holes in it. I used a 1-hole paper hole puncher lol. But hey it worked.

I had to remove the upper intake to run the knock sensor wires. People don't kid when they say its easier to get to these things when the motor is out of the car.

Then took the valve covers off cause i'm about ready to re-torque the head down to 85lbs on the stock own replacement gasket. 85lbs, is a good mark to hit correct?

Yesterday I didn't get to much done. I did a little bit of cleaning behind the water neck. And then I replaced the water pump. Other then that I'm just waiting for my Flywheel and Turbo to come in the mail. Hopefully they come today or tomorrow. Then it will be time for the install. But heres some pictures of the old and new pump.


Old Pump

Tons of crap in the coolant passage so ill be doing a few flushes

New pump

Ok so I got a bit more done tonight. Even though its was very cold tonight, like 35 degrees. So much for warm weather in FL. But i'm so hyped over being so close to finished. I received a recently rebuilt turbo today. And my flywheel. So I got right to work when they came in. I installed the exhaust manifold again. Then the oil sending and return for the turbo. Also installed the banjo bolt the goes to the sending portion of the line, that was kinda a PITA. But I worked through it. And got it to bolt up to the block. I went ahead and just tested fitted the 3 inch elbow, and down pipe. They fit flawlessly. Ill be taking the down pipe portion off for the install.

After that I correctly timed the motor. I set the harmonic balancer to 0 degrees, then lined up the notches on the cam sockets. Then removed the CPS and reset it to 10 degrees before TDC. I think that covers that part. Can anyone concur with me on this portion, cause I know the timing is very critical to the start. (but isn't it on any motor?)

Intake sprocket

Exhaust sprocket

Following this, I torqued the head down to 85ft. lbs. then oiled up the cam lobes, and torqued them to 14 ft. lbs.



To end the night I went ahead and installed the alternator. Along with the accessory belt. I have decided to not run the AC lines, cause i'm thinking its going to be too much of a hassle. If anyone knows of a good thread that can prove me wrong please link it and let me know. Cause again this is Florida and it can get very nasty down here.

After all this I just took a bunch of random shots so here are those.

Tomorrow night I'm thinking about getting the motor on the ground and going ahead and mating it to the trans. I don't know if i'm going to do that yet, because I do still have some sensors around the water neck to replace. But what ever does happen you guys will get plenty of pictures And again thanks for looking. Any comments are welcome. Positive or negative, Hell, if it keeps my build near the top i'm happy :naughty:

Keep up the good work.

When installing the idle control valve did you install the one way valve as well? The little round rubber thing that goes in before the ISCV.

[Zumtizzle]

What brand is that waterpump?

 

[RedPhoenix]

Looking really good man!

Mike

No I didnt install any type of one way valve. I will have to look into this. Umm Im guessing the TSRM goe sover this? So ill have ot look in there for a bit.

What brand is that waterpump?

Its a water pump from Autozone.

Looking really good man!

Lol Thanks bud. Hopefully ill be able to run with your turbo V8...but idk, we will see.

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

yeah there is a little one way valve and fat rubber O ring that goes in the intake manifold first. If you don't install it it will leak boost back into the turbo inlet hose

Ok and its just a rubber piece?

This is the Idle air control valve correct? Goes right next to the throttle body?

 

[whitemike]

Correct, and what Devin says is correct also..

 

[IBoughtASupra]

Take a picture of the intake manifold and where the ISCV mounts. We will let you know if everything is alright.

 

[TweeT91109]

Ok sounds good ill have the picture later tonight


On a side note. I also hooked up the manual boost controller. I made this little paint scheme to display how I hooked it up. Just to make sure I did it right. So does anyone think this is correct? Or is it the other way around?

[TweeT91109]

....there should be a new rule.






Don't post what I find so soon, while i'm still reading into it lmao. Cause then i'm like dam. That sucks lol. But thanks Mike.

 

[TweeT91109]

So thanks to this following link I can correctly hook up the sensors on the thermostat housing. And hook up there correct wires.

Also thanks to this I can get the CPS re-wired, with totally diffferent connectors. Cause come to find out my connector on the harness side of the CPS is gone. IDK. so ill be ordering a 4 prong water tight plug from some website. I just havent looked for one yet.

Thanks.

 

[TweeT91109]

Thanks? I'm confused

 

[bioskyline]

so ill be ordering a 4 prong water tight plug from some website. I just havent looked for one yet.

got to the junk yard and cut one off a 90's gm car. the fuel pump connector is a 4 prong plug, and i think the injector harness is also a 4 plug.

Sounds like a plan cause usualy I don't get charged for those things. So any 4 prong about 12 gauge wire is my next target at the junk yard lol
