Hey everybody, my slave and accumulator are on the way out and I am thinking its time to do the gt2 mod. But I have some questions for the guys that have already done this that could shed some light or insight on tips and tricks to make it easier. Here are some questions I have, and if anybody else is thinking of doing this please add your question to the list.
Here goes:

1. What did you use to remove all the old pentosin out of the system, and how you did it?(cleanest, simpliest, cheapest way)

2. Were there any special or modified tools , wrenchs that made the removal/install easier?

3. I am building the kit myself and I need to know what part numbers I will need, as well as what size the threaded and smooth plugs are?(Already sourced out the bracket)

4. This job is possible with the tranny in correct?(although a real p.i.t.a.)

5. Time involved to do job for someone with fairly decent mechanical skills but no lift.

6. I am sure there are more questions for you guys but can't think of any.

Please help, pics would be greatly appreciated and anyone else thinking about this there are some great pdf files on this install if you search the threads but I feel these questions have not been answered yet.
Thanks again guys for your time.

 

Call Sharkey at Sharkwerks, he has alll the stuff you need

 

I just need more of they "if I did this again I would use blank not blank, it made it so much easier" (Just need someone to fill in the blanks).
But thank you for the name.

 

Gearhead - I'm planning to do this mod this winter and have similar questions. However search for my GT2 thread and you'll find the part numbers.

 

Removing the Pentosin in the very first step.
Tip for pentosin removal. Suck up what you can with a turkey baster in the front reservoir, attach your 50$ Motive bleeder air only and push the rest out the slave bleed port. Add some brake fluid to reservoir, and push it out, again air only in the motive.
Now you are cleaned out and relatively dry too. Ready to change out parts...

 

Thank you tbarcelo for the help.
JJBravo you would not start adding dot4 to the resovoir before all the pentosin was out to stop any air from getting in there? Or is the motive bleeder awesome and the old pump,pump bleed is no longer necessary?
Also would you not disconnect the power steering pump lines "first" as to not allow brake fluid finding its way up there?
Look forward to anymore responses and answers to the new questions.

 

No, blow it all out. Don't mix fluids. Blow out the pentosin, add a little dot4, blow that out. replace parts. Bleed.
The master and slave get replaced and the Motive bleeds it quick later.
I guess you could cap the boost lines first, but you could also just blow it out through the disconnected green line to rubber line coupler as the hose is replaced too. Perhaps I'd do it that way if you have an intermix problem and it's been coming out the front reservoir previously.

 

It has been pressurizing the front reservoir so I guess I probably would disconnect the green line and force it out through there. Thanks
Question, what tool do you use to disconnect the red couplers (quick connects)on the power steering pump? As well as what size is the threaded plug and smooth plug?
