Oh boy that'll set off some car alarms. Love it!
project: watch out Kentuckians
- Thread starter no mufflers
- Start date
here was some of yesterdays project and some of today...
swapping in OBS heater controls. it fit in almost perfect with little mods.
all I had to was drill some holes in the plastic and it is in there good.
I used 3/16'' brake line to connect the vacuum hoses. they are all the same color so I assume the functions will be the same. the gray and brown plugs will need to be swapped but the wires all look the same so I don't think it will be difficult.
the only question I have is on the red plug. does anyone know its function? it plugs in with the vacuum plug but the way the switch operates seems to be different on the OBS. the only thing I can think it does would be turn the a/c on?

Nice.
Is the other odd plug for the fan itself?
I don't have a diagram handy.
Looks like purple/white, brown/orange, and two brown/white?

The gray plug is for the fan control.
On the red plug the two brown wires connect together. I tried to trace them in the OBS harness but they go all over the place.

I like the OBS control swap. Please do a good write up when you get it all sorted.

Will do...
As of now all I have done is the blend door cable, vacuum hoses and mounting the panel. The systems operate very similar so I hope it goes smoothly.
does any one know how to get the dowel pin out of the block that aligns the trans adapter plate?
a torch and vice grips is all I can think of. for some reason the current motor doesn't have them.

I meant heat the block. there is no way to get to the back of the pin. I tried vice grips but I think the pin is hardened because they didn't bite in much.
If it were me, id go find other dowel pins. Probably easier and a lot less headache. Can't be that expensive. Measure them and grab a fresh pair. I'd be shocked if like NAPA didnt have them.
I got two pins on order. They were only a few bucks.
The next thing I'm doing is working on getting the oil feed line for the turbo. This engine has 1/4" oil ports so I was going to run 6 an hose.
I have been looking at different types of hoses but not sure what temp range I need. How hot does the oil get?
Any suggestions are welcome.

You don't need the big hose. You have to run an oil feed restrictor anyway so no need to go to the trouble. I picked up an oil feed line kit for a few bucks on Amazon. -4 is plenty large.
Here is the link to the one I bought.

So is running the 4 an line enough restriction?
No. Search for oil restrictor and gt4088r. It's say search 3788r but it rarely shows up and I believe it's the same center section. Garret has an installation guide I think. I may have it. Let me look around.
Ok got ya. I didn't want to make it all 1/4" fittings or 3/8" hose because it would get bulky.
Do I have to use steel braided line?
