[BlackKnight2013]

intake manifold is done being re-anodized and should be here in a week or two. i will post pictures of before and after when i get it.

 

[BlackKnight2013]

got some pictures of my custom down pipe for final review before it's finalized and sent to me. all made from stainless steel.



4" v-band at the turbo turbine outlet. 4" pipe transisions down to 3" pipe before fitting under the oil pan to connect to the normal exhaust. exhaust will be a complete 3" exhaust into and out of the cat and all the way to the back. front o2 bung for narrow band factory o2 sensor.



3" v-band flange to cat. o2 sensor bung for wide band a/f gauge.

some christmas gifts i bought for my self came in today. got an egr block off plate. decided to use a block off plate instead of trying to figure out a way to re-route the egr tube into the aftermarket intake manifold and have it be functional for e-check obd2 emissions. going to have to do some computer trickery to make it think that egr is there and functioning.

also got a greddy remote switching system, brand new never used, for the e-manage ultimate system i am going to be using to control data logging and or anything else like NOS. these are very hard to find since they have been discontinued some time ago and are becoming a rare item.



greddy remote switching system:

Downpipe looks great!

Why did you go with the E manage? Didn't believe they made one for the 420a.

thanks. the e-management ultimate is mainly for japanese cars but also has a universal side to it. im using the universal side of the e-manage ultimate to get fuel and ignition control.

just ordered more parts, should see them in a week or two. turbo manifold and down pipe shipment has been delayed due to a hug ice storm in Tennessee a week ago. have to wait until it all melts before the shipment can be processed.

 

[BlackKnight2013]

just ordered a custom made, one off, one of a kind fuel rail for the engine build. made out of t6061 aluminum. will see it in about three weeks.

 

[BlackKnight2013]

just got confirmation of the shipment for the exhaust manifold and my turbocharger on it's way back. will see it around Tuesday. here's some more parts photos for the time being:

intercooler piping:



new gauge faces, tps sensor, coolant temp sensor, intake temp sensor, temperature gauge sending unit, one way check valves, crower cam break in additive and fuel pressure gauge for the fuel pressure regulator:



Vibrant resenator (i have two of these), 3" inlet and outlet, made from stainless steel:

had a lot of standing around time today at work. didn't see/work on a single car for 7 hours straight so i decided to install the gauge faces. Gauge faces are from BEM Peformance, and they are reverse glow. here's a photo for ya'll to see:

more parts on the way, will see the turbo and manifold on monday. will see the custom one of a kind fuel rail on wednesday.

 

[BlackKnight2013]

some parts came in today unexpectedly. got a new IAC valve and MAP sensor, which is right one this time. first MAP sensor i got was wrong and for a 4g63... IDK it was listed as a chrysler 2.0 sensor... oh well problem solved so im over it. installed the IAC and TPS sensor onto the throttle body and bolted it onto the intake manifold. here's a few pics for ya'll.







can't wait until monday to get my turbocharger back and my custom made turbo manifold. will post pics and will finally do a part 25 build video after not doing one for a long time. mainly been doing updates and part videos. will finally feel good to do a new build video. got the down pipe, my wastegate back and dump tube this past week and a half. will post pictures of those on monday with the manifold.

also ordered more parts today will see them next week or so.

here's some pictures of the turbo manifold. i started to wrap the down pipe and the manifold, i will get pics when they are finished being wrapped. got some more parts in today too will get photos of those here in a day or so.

 

[BlackKnight2013]

just got the custom made one of a kind fuel rail today. here's the picture for all of you to see. i'll say it fits like a glove. i put a lot of time into measuring a sample fuel rail and designing this custom fuel rail from scratch.

 

[BlackKnight2013]

heat wrapped the turbo manifold and the down pipe, here's a few pics.

the start of the wrap





fully wrapped











down pipe

 

[BlackKnight2013]

mocked everything up on the engine to see what needs to be changed and made the turbo oil feed line. will need an oil scavenging pump for the oil return line; oil drain from the turbo is about an inch above the sump which is not good for oil drainage from the turbo. need to swap down pipe flanges at the turbo and change the turbo oil inlet feed fitting. other than those three things everything is looking good.

here's a few pictures:

Man it coming along! The exhaust manifold is beautiful!!

When you you plan to put this in the car?

thanks man, i am shooting for august but i don't have my hopes up. still got a long way to go and more parts are still needed. may have to send the down pipe back to have the v band flange switched out from female to male. idk why but for some reason they put a female end on it when the turbine housing is a female end... doesnt make much sense to me in doing that.

on another note, should have a build pt.25 video out in about 12 hours, waiting for it to upload to youtube.

This is looking good, good luck to you with the rest of the build.

[BlackKnight2013]

just ordered more parts. should see them soon. one is special order and will take 6 weeks approximately to arrive. another 3 grand in parts left to go before it's time to do the swap. That's right, it's getting close to go time.

on a side note, for those who haven't seen the latest build video, here's a link:

 

[BlackKnight2013]
