Globerunner513 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 well got the opportunity to go to the local pick and pull yesterday and pulled out a L28et for myself, and turns out there was another one sitting there. So today 'Challenger' aka Derek and I went out there and got him his turbo motor! Good day all around... I had a blast, and although we had a couple little snags, ended up getting it in Derek's hands alright. And now we both have turbo motors! wooot! Plus I managed to find a complete P90 head sitting in the back of a subaru that was around the same area. I also doubled as event photographer... Before: Derek 'Challenger' Ready to pull. Whoopsie... We decided to do things a little 'unorthodox' Victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah both of ours were missing the turbo and valve cover. Luckily Ive got some spare valve covers and wont be needing the turbo for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifaThugz Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Wont you need to bleed or whatever the lifters I think they're called since you turned the engine upsidedown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Wont you need to bleed or whatever the lifters I think they're called since you turned the engine upsidedown... I havn't heard anything about that, but i'll check into it. All the fluids were already drained so no oil got into the top of the engine if that's what you're thinking. And im pretty sure the P-90 has solid lifters, not hydraulic if that was the idea? Anyway I'm planing on tearing the whole thing down anyway, and i think Challenger is as well.

Challenger Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hey Challenger, mine is a 83,,,,,P79, are you saying that it is just the turbos came with the P90? I meant on the 83 turbos. My bad. The na's had the p79. Also did Daniel tell you about the seats in the car we pulled the motor out of?
