manifolds are on... passenger turbo is on hopefully putting on the drivers tonight... so it could be street ready by the end of the month

 

School has been kicking my ***... i need to heat wrap a few things in this picture and put on the final o2 sensor

 

good to see you didnt have much trouble mounting the turbo to the manifold or routing that flex intake hose.

make sure to wrap those fuel lines running up the firewall

 

Did you see the modification ive had to do to the oil return lines.....
Btw where are you finding these pictures?

^^^^^^^ Can you show me the drivers? the driver turbo is giving me issues

 

SO good news i pulled the oil pan to put in my spacer... Nothing wrong with my oil visibly. there where no chunks no metal scrapings etc.



Bad news is i Gave the drivers side turbo another try and its just not working... i have images attached. When i try to insert the turbo the frame brace is in the way

 

cant see pics at work, but I assume you mean that black metal piece thats shaped like a wide 'A'.

just take it off for now. Didnt look like you needed to notch it on the pass side, but I had to notch it on both sides to fit.

 

Wouldnt that kill the structural integrity?

 

If you just cut a chunk out, yes. You would need to reinforce the notched area.

 

nah, you arent notching the tube supports, at least not in my case.

 

A little OT but why are the turbos so rusty on a new kit did you leave them outside in the snow

 

I was thinking the same thing, and the dump pipe weld is rusty too. If it is suposed to be stainless, it got welded with the wrong filler rod or cleaned with a steel brush..

 

That has got to be used...

 

No, it honestly rusted in my garage :S

Ps sasha I pm'd you

 

I did not get a PM.

 

I should have came and visited you today...I had a few hours to spare I will get up there soon or i may have to get Dusty to meet up with you. I will be looking for pipes soon


Cab how muck clearance do you need....take a hammer to it??

 

Should have stoped by. I am in full production this weekend, trying to get 3 sest of pipes built.

The jigs I built work great. So far all the sets I made fit just perfect on the car, it's a real time saver. For now I am test fitting everything on the car, just to make sure.

Your pipes are wating in a 3" card board tube.

 

you wont be hammering that brace

30 seconds with an angle grinder

 

This is what i ended up doing, I got half of it done last night, gonna finish the other half tomorrow. Would have done it today but dad had a heart attack

 

Hope your dad is ok man.

 

Man sorry to hear about your Dad, hope he's alright! Also gotta love the rapid climate changes in Calgary eh. Rusting your brand new turbos when they were in your garage. Still gotta make it over and check the progress out first hand.
