Wow I didn't expect this to get any sort of views but I'm glad it's helping people:) I didn't know that this was such a common question on Ecotec motors lol. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm just a hobbyist but I'm more than willing to give advice and things to try.
So that bolt you use the fishing line. Do you remember what size it is?. My fat fingers dropped it and it never fell all the way thru😢. I know is a 10mm but what thread pattern? Thank you. Good watch
Honestly I don’t know the thread pattern sorry man- I can’t find it online. But I used one of the two bolts on the boost solenoid on the intake manifold. The solenoid is secure with one bolt and it didn’t leak. Or you can bring it to a hardware store and they’ll tell ya.
Great video! Curious to know how you painted the valve cover and got the paint to not cover the writing on the front.? Did u just sand it off carefully?
Thanks man! You can do that- you can also pick the soft paint off with a razor. Chrisfix made a great video on it that explains how to do that. Also, use earplugs to cover the screw holes, and go for a thicker top coat. It’s been like 2 years and I gotta redo the paint bc it’s cracking and falling apart:///
It's really just a lot of information. Anyone with enough free time and patience could learn to do this stuff themselves. Just about seeing enough Initial D to have the interest ;D
You actually can't- the hose is integrated into the valve cover, so the only release is on the turbo side. No clue why, bc its really fucking hard to take off that way, but that's classic GM engineering.
Good vid but that isn’t the pcv line. The pcv connects to the air intake tube. I have no idea what the technical name is but need to find out. I cut the o ring pulling it out of the housing
Hey Ik it’s been 5 months lol but that’s actually the turbo oil feed line. Everyone online said this was a “PCV line”, so that’s what I went with. But absolutely not lol
The boost bypass valve on the intake manifold is held in with 2 bolts of the same size as the one you need. You can use one of those, and it’ll still be tight enough👍🏻

Blows my mind you only have
Thank you, that means a lot!!:)
honestly these types of comments really stick with me and make me wanna make more videos and stuff. I really do appreciate it man :)
@@turbo_co27 Definitely stick with it if it's something you wanna do, you've got potential :)

@Storethis ya I can't find anything any where online.
Thank you tho. Worth the try.

5:25-5:47 wtf, damn I underestimated how fucking complicated car engines are.

@@turbo_co27 okay your probably right
curious as to why you didn't pull the PCV hose from the valve cover instead of the turbo? is it harder?
You actually can't- the hose is integrated into the valve cover, so the only release is on the turbo side. No clue why, bc its really fucking hard to take off that way, but that's classic GM engineering.
Video starts off with “what’s up fkrs” instant follow 😂 my kinda person.
LMAO thanks! I figured I’d get right to the point, can’t stand when simple tutorials turn into 20 minute vlogs.

Where’s the pcv valve on these?
Clever!
Thank you!
What did you do for the pcv bolt you dropped in the engine bay? My dumbass dropped mine as well

Thanks for the tip on the pcv hose!
yw dude! I'm glad someone made use of this video:)
Why not just take off the off hose from the valve cover instead of the turbo, does it not come off?
It actually does not lol. No space to shove a gas line disconnect tool, and even then, it probably doesn’t fit.
Made a hard job easier, thanks alot!
glad I could help. This job is a PIA, and I couldn't find any info online so I figured I'd be the first to post something haha
Nice my friend. 👍hhr ss owner
