Re: Russianred's Turbo Build Thread [ 56k = ok.. for now ]
Ok guys, just got done. I have finally fixed the oil leak!! I ended up using Nate's (mraw112) tee adapter, and hooked up the oil feed and oil pressure lines into the sides, and the engine oil sensor on the butt end of it. It worked out magnificently! Though, it did take about 3 hours because I didn't have a big enough socket for it and had to catch the late night Autozone.
That's the good news. The sad news is that I tried to remove the knock sensor to hook up oil line, and it just crumbled in my hand and snapped off. Removing it and installing a new one won't be a problem, it will be very easy actually since I have the right socket now, but I do need one..
Does anyone have a knock sensor they could sell me? Or please point me in the right direction, for example a total/part-out that you may have come accross?
Does anyone know if other Honda engines use the same knock sensor as our F23, so that I may go to the pull-apart tomorrow and get one free?
Besides for this, I am waiting on my flanges to come in, then getting my exhaust separated, and o2 bung re-welded on my downpipe.
Next step after that is a boost leak / charge pipe pressure test, and removal of interfering port on the radiator which is rubbing on the intercooler piping.
