So, I've decided to make a build journal of my car, so here we go.
So far I have rebuilt the engine and done a lot, I will upload pics and explain that a little bit, not really gonna get into detail on those parts. I am however working on my turbo set up for 420a, so I will start in more detail with that. Lets say everything else is the "prologue?" and my turbo build will be Chapter 1?
Feel free to comment, or add suggestions. Or if I should add more info/pics.
Parts have been coming in for my turbo, this is what I have done so far, if you look at the pictures.
1. Rotated the housings on the turbo, and fit the flange to the manifold. I had to drill out a hole on the flange because it didn't fit right on the manifold. I also got "studs" and nuts to mount the turbo to the manifold.
For the studs I used 2 m10 x 100 1.5 rods, and cut them in half, then shorted as needed.
2. I gathered some extra fittings with my oil line kit, I made a 90 degree elbow, and got a cap so I could hook the line up early before the turbo. I also got some stuff to make a return in the oil pan. I'm using a fitting with thread on the other side, I'm going to drill the tighest fitting hole I can in the oil pan (Start small and work up as needed), and screw in the fitting, with a tight washer on the out side, and a lock nut in the inside. Going to add some gasket and tighten it up really good, all on a flat spot on the oil pan. I also got a cap for this so it could be done in advance. (see picture).
It's not letting my upload all the pics, I'll ad more later.
