I just ordered up the last part today its no hi dollar shit but it will get me boosted in the next couple weeks. only doing it like this cuz the woman wants her car boosted someday and i plan on using the cast manifold, turbo, and some other misc parts for her car then. ill have it boosted for the forum event next month unless shit hits the fan.
Got the rear sway bar in, got the E-brake cables kinda in i need torch to heat up the brackets that hold the cables in the rear then i can bend them out of the way of the trailing arm or atleast thats gunna be my first idea.
rear disk swap bracket. not pretty but its solid and works
got the intercooler mounted and half the charge pipes done. kinda ghetto pipe kit but it will work. goal is to race it at forum fest but well see what happens.
still need to weld on the flange for the BOV but u get the point. its not pretty but its gunna work. took it all off to drive home but im tryin!
Well i took this week off cuz im starting a new job next week and i wanted to spend some time gettin things around the house done and spend some time with the kiddo. Also getting the wagon boosted was on my list. tonight i got the bumper and bumper cover all hacked out for the IC to fit. I had to move the IC up about 2 inches to fit a lil better but i think i like where it is now. heres a test fit pic,
not much to look at but i was pretty excited to get a chance to work on it. I have the mani and turbo on but im still in the process of clocking it all just right cuz space is tight and im kinda anal on making sure i get it all just right (if possible) and oil lines run out of the way of things. hoping to have it all wrapped up tomarrow but ya know how shit goes.
DITTO...
:shock:

Its actually ment for an eclipse but it fits an EF hella nice. heres a link this is the exact one i have
thanx still need to hook up my E-brake maybe ill do that tomarrow.
took me all day but i got the down pipe built. I had to mock-up what i could then drive to my buddies house to tack it together then come home and test fit. i had to make 3 trips, pick up my kid, and i managed to get pulled over no ticket thank god.
after dinner and the kiddo go to bed im gunna go back and try to get the rest finished. I need to weld on my BOV flange in the morning so im hoping to get everything but that done and maybe even test drive it tonight.
got the oil return line on and all the hardware for the DP on and ran the oil feed line from the turbo to the back of the motor. I was stuffed full of lasagna and tired so i didnt get far. Gotta find someone that doesnt want a ton of money to weld the flange on my charge pipe for my BOV.

hummm lets search for a bolt on style or a short tube with a flange .. MIGHT save a buck on high priced welders..

Im almost there im gunna start calling around tomarrow morning to find a two 90 degree couplers one of them 2 1/2 inches on both ends and the other 2 x 2 1/2 cuz its gunna be way easier to run the charge pipe from the turbo to the IC with these than with just straight couplers. and i kinda ran into a problem...... the wastegate sticks up so dam high i can't close the hood..... my hood has a dent in the front of it anyways so i think im gunna just cut a hole in the hood since im tired of messing with it. when i buy my own welder which will be here in the next couple weeks ill fix the issue myself im tired of having to get others to help me. I would just rock no hood but that will get ya pulled over for sure in WA and not to mention im starting a new job on monday and i dont want to show up with my car lookin hella jacked up.
:shock:
ok so lay the hood on it and send a pic..!!!
when the motor REVs does the BOV rise or lower.....????
would adding a spacer on the 4 hood to hinge bolts give the little bit to clear it...???
would that hood with the bubble do better...?? is the valve where the bubble would b...???
yeah i have a couple thats prolly what ill do. im sure my buddy will be down to help me out one last time. well time to get dressed and on my way to tacoma/seattle to find those couplers no speed shops open till 10-10:30 so im kinda banking on one of them having them.
Hey Matt if you need help with it let me know I work at a repair shop and my neighbors fab all kinds of metal stuff for us all the time for supper cheap. They're the ones that are making me the metal bull bars that we talked about recently
