FFE sent me a different trigger wheel setup due to a suspected issue with the 60-2. I can't say enough good about Aaron and his business. Also installed the Banzai single belt main pulley.

Banzai Racing is having a sale on their Single Belt Pulley kit.I have a water pump pulley for sale if anyone wants it.

The fitting that came with the Turblown kit was blue, and they have a specific fitting they use for consistency in their kit. I personally wanted black so I ordered a black one.

Side note: ordered from summit racing on the 18th. Did not pay extra for shipping. Got it on the 19th. Not sure how they did that. PFM.

Problem. The black fitting did not thread in far enough to seal against the crush washer. So I had to shorten it and clean it up to make it work. So this confirms that not all fittings are made to the same spec. But the adventure is over and only one little fitting is installed.

The fitting that got to me in 20 hours.





After being shortened by about a thread and a half and cleaned up.





Side by side to check height.

I was fortunate enough to get in on a Turblown Cast EFR manifold. This is a beautiful piece of work. Worth every penny and probably more.

Question for the techs out there: I torqued the exhaust nuts down to 34 ft/lbs (I believe I got this from a 93 manual). The '95 workshop manual says 51-57 ft/lbs. which is correct?

New gaskets and new OEM exhaust nuts. Thanks Ray Crowe!





And some Nuclear Grade Anti-Seize. Seriously, that's what the original container said. By the way, this stuff is evil. Once you get it on something... It finds its way to everything. So be careful and use sacrificial paper towels for clean up. 





Witness marks on the studs to confirm that the studs were not moving during the torquing process. Currently at 34 ft/lbs. I may go more depending on further information.





From the 1995 workshop manual.
