Great work! Keep it up.

Thanks guys! Crash, there is a pic somewhere in the thread that shows turbo placement. Its basically between the vent, and the fog light hole. However ill be filling both the vent holes, and the fog light holes. The bumper will be smooth and flat with the exception of the intercooler opening, and a 4" hole for the inlet.

Got some more work done. Most of the time has been spent on the bumper, but i dont want to spoil it, so no pics of the bumper till its done. However, i did get the fuel system finished, and wastegate/bov lines made. I didnt want to just use hose barbs and rubber tubing for the lines, i wanted something a little flashier than that. So i used the nylon braided line, and 4AN fittings! Didnt get any pics of the fuel pump setup, but i welded a 6AN fitting to the sender unit, with a 1/2" line feeding it. Intank is a TRE342, outside the tank is the new walbro 400LPH inline.

For a boost controller i have a greddy profec b spec2, which obviously i dont have the solenoid installed for. Im going to run wastegate pressure for a few hundred miles(15psi), and get everything sorted. (More like make sure everything wont fall apart!)

Also got the 10AN fitting welded to the Valve cover. I learned, well re-learned that out VC's are made with cheap aluminum, and dont weld very well to 6061. However, i managed to get her did n done..Hah Ill be using the vibrant exhaust/crankcase evac scavenger, instead of a massive catch can setup. Never used one before, so we shall see how it holds up.

Also, fuel rail fittings are also welded on. I have a ZERO leak tolerance!

The downpipe, is also my entire exhaust setup , Straight out the bumper!

[Eeeeky]

Few more pics, Got the VC painted up, also got the Vband flanges for the IC pipe. The cold side will be one peice, with vband connections. Also got the breather line installed.

Wow! Subscribed!

looks great but im not really that fond of the blow-by blowing out right on the tire...

 

[greengoblin]

So much nice work. I see your using v band clamps. Will they have enough flex to handle the engine movement?

 

[Eeeeky]

Thanks guys. Hubbell, technically the exhaust pipe isnt finished, it will be extended a little, to be about 1/8" thru the bumper

Greengoblin, they wont flex at all. However the engine is mounted on 3 solid(and i mean SOLID) mounts. The engine wont move

SO glad you came in here...your car is the one that finally kicked me off on this build. Id been planning on it for a long time, but never did do it.

Ditto!!!!

Nice car, plenty of work went into it, although I would encourage people to look at your feedback before doing any kind of business with you.

The above was not directed at swarm.

Went through the thread twice to try to figure out who you are referencing and I failed to figure it out.

OP, beautiful work, very well done.

Looked at his seller feedback in the public. Sound like he is funding this project with other money from what I am reading. Pretty sad if this is true.
