fire?

i'd just take all the crap around it out... because you know, you may be able to take it out, but you gotta put it back at some time

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 9:52 pm

Yeah I would remove the brake booster and then put it back on. Since you're replacing the master it shouldn't matter if you remove it and put it back in (I wouldn't think). If it makes your life easier then just go for it.

Yes you spelt it right

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 1:19 pm

Yeah it looks like that is what I will have to do... someone on the dodgeforum siad to try using a punch . i'm going to try but removing the brake booster and try there.

As Opi said, it will only make it easier when you reinstall to get the pin back in. Good luck keep us all posted

Well I recieved a piece of mail today...

So I started to work on this again.. My buddy says that I need to disconnect the line from a quick disconnect. You all think this is what he was talking about... I'm going to try to disconnect from here and my maint. manual states that I need to disconnect from here with a specality tool.. I wonder if I can just use a screw driver to diaconnect.

This should be fun......

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:25 pm

Well... I took another look at teh line and right at the disconnect i use my "special tool" (wrench) and was able to get it disconnected.. I hope it will go back together.

I was able to feed the line so far to manuver the master cylinder to a spot where I can use a bit small enough to use as a punch.

I knocked out the pin and the hard line poped off.

Here is that P.I.T.A. pin..

Here is the cylinder removed.....

It was a bit easier putting it back in and reassmebled in the car... I haven't filled the resivor up yet. I need to figure how I bleed the system ...

Yeah I found it... still haven't had the time to work on it... I'm tring to have some help so I don't have to pump and bleed by my self.. so I'll mess with it here in a few days...

On a second note, I received a call from a friend about some parts... I picked them up yesterday from the junk yard on my lunch.

What do you think?????

I got them for a great deal... 350.00 for all.. so what do you think????

Here is today pics...

and a pics of my license plate cover from being Car of the Month of March

Oh I also installed the booger bushings... so no more shift play...

Ha ha I was COTM and COTY on Dodge Forum and I'm a mod! I never got a license plate! That thing is damned cool!!! Love the seats you got them for a friggin killer price!!!!

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 2:19 pm

well i had to order the plate for 12 bucks.. not too bad now I can cover up the plate at shows.... Yeah I couldn't pass up the deal.. now I need to find a interior kit for black leather and black suede inserts... maybe for x-mas..

Wow.

Went through your entire progress log for the first time. Damn you have done a ton this year.

Me Too!!!

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:27 pm

Well some of my parts came in... W00t!!!!!

I was able to pick up a Short ram intake from a fellow skittle owner...

This should look good with the rest of the blue in the engine bay area...

and this was on my door step today...

Its my fittings for my fuel...

and it came with a hat... cool..

The down side is I noticed I have orderd a couple of wrong sizes... will have to return and order the correct ones..

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:52 pm

Intake should look good! But...FYI did it come with the rubber bumper that bolts to the battery tray? If it did not, and you have solid motor mounts, the bracket will snap off (it did on mine) and could potentially cause damage to the turbo. The welds are very weak as they are done on too high of a heat temperature. I wouldn't even bolt that part down if I were you, you'd be better off if you don't have the bumper bolt.

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 2:45 pm

yeah it came with all the mounts and bolts.

I might purchast the JMB slim bracket battery tray for more clearence

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 11:27 am

Well, its been awhile since I have updated this thread, and I've been slacking for awhile, but my job / holidays have kept me from working on the car. I have put my foot down and I'm going to start this up again.... So today it was 72 out, and I decided that it was time to work.
The car is back on the stands... yeah!!! can't get access to my attic agian.. LOL

I was fortunate to get my front bumper up in the attic before it went on the stands...

I'm trying to figure a way to get my FM stations again, since I have no outside antenna, so I'm installing one inside my dash if possible...

I have it hooked up, but i'm getting a lot of static... It will come to me sooner or later.

I'm also going to work on modding the turbo pods onto my dash..

Now I need to figure out what I need to do to make it work.

Onto the Engine... The break down begins and the turbo installs started..

As you can see I tore down what I could.. nothing a little WD-40 can work with.. LOL

Cooliant tank removed for the time being.. I will have to relocate the cooliant some where else in the tight engine compartment.

Now here is one question that I have.. This box that I took out that is right by the OEM cooliant bottle I need gone so the turbo can fit. Any idea what it is, and do I need it?

It had vac line connected to it. I temporally tied it off so there wouldn't be a leak.

I removed the heat shield off the exhaust manifold and tried to break free the bolts on the Catalitic converter.. too rusted.. WD-40 is sitting on it right now... I hope that it works.

Jan 20th

Well, today I called in sick today from work due to waiting on furniture arriving at my house. Ofcourse they give me a window from 7am to 10pm...

Since is it nice out today I though that I would continue tearing down for the turbo... So this is what I was able to do before lunch.

I broke loose the exhaust bolts on the mid pipe and loosen all the bolts off the exhaust manifold and with a little help by a hammer

I took off the CAI for the last time... The car looks completely destroided LOL

Finally got the manifold out and now I have tons of room back there..

Any one need a mainfold??? LOL

I also started to take apart the Turbofold so I could start polishing the housing, but I think that I might just take it somewhere and get it done.

I'm going to try to get some help with the oil feed lines, and need some assistance with removing the oil pan and etc...

Friday 23rd

Well I picked up my buddies high speed buffer and another Turbo housing to work on. I used a 3 stage polishing setup, and worked on it last night for a couple of hours and then finished it up this morning for now...

BEFORE:

AFTER:

THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO:

I also started on installing the adapter plate, but ran into a small issue.

This is only the half of the adapter and I have a some play even with bolts tight. I might have to change out the bolts to a shorter one, I might be hitting the end of the thread. I took a break ( its 50 out and a bit cold for us southerns)

I should put more up later on today.

Well I tried again after I had some lunch and figured that I was using the wrong size of bolts, there were 3 differnt sizes to the kit and I put the wrong ones on first.... .

So I finished mounting the adapter plate up to the block.. Looking good so far...
I then did a test fit with the Turbo manifold on to check clearances..

I think that I need to cover up the lines attached to the firewall..

I will mess with it more in a bit.

That’s a vacuum reservoir for the cruise control. 2000 m/y Neons had it mounted in the passenger side front fender well by the washer fluid tank IIRC. Might want to look into relocating it there.

I already took out the cruise control so I will be just trashing it.

Nice write up! The car looks great. How long did the GT door kit take to install?

the body shop that did the body work did it, and its a full weld on kit ( lot stronger) I would have to contact them to get the real timeframe.

Looking good man. Can't wait till the turbo is done. Are you going to go to the dyno or track once it's done?

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 5:31 pm

maybe dyno... not the track..

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 5:58 pm

Things are coming along nicely!! Very sweet. Now...as for the gauge pod I have a mini how-to in my progress log. I currently have the OEM one and two others mounted there, if you want me to give you more details, I'd be glad to.
