Fubar231 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Lookin good man! Really excited to see this setup when its done and how you built it / routing on the pipes. Another question is with your turbo being mounted so low are you going to use an oil scavenge pump to make sure it doesn't get starved for oil?

Yeah I've already picked up a scavenging pump for the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Here are some updates since we're had a few nice days lately. I got the new injectors and rails put on the intake and the intake reinstalled. I also got the alternator installed up top but still have to finish the wiring.

starkmaster03 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I finished the adding the WG connection to the DP and also welded an O2 bung into the DP and another O2 bung close to the drivers manifold as there isn't one in the 6 liter manifold. I then pulled all of the hotside off and just finished wrapping all of the hotside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Bad ass!! Who is tuning it? Cordell will be doing the tune but I'm sure we'll try and get it out to Brian's dyno to tweak it. Just ordered the last of all the cold side and all the other parts I think I need.

starkmaster03 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just an update: Took the intake back off to clean up the wiring and replaced the intake gaskets. Installed the fuel injector adapters, new NGK plugs, new MSD plug wires, reinstalled the coils, installed the oil feed line, installed the fuel regulator, installed the fuel lines, re-routed and installed the 02 sensors. Also working on a mount in the old alternator location for the scavenging pump. I hope to finish the bottom of the bracket tomorrow and then focus on the cold side.

starkmaster03 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Been working on the car and making a lot of progress. First time I've tried welding aluminum and I like it. Radiator before: 90 degree bend I welded up and added the hose end to it as well and then grind it all down. Cut the radiator outlet to match and welded the entire thing to the radiator. I also added the steam vent bung to the radiator as well This shows it after I've put it back in the car and shows the clearance that I needed to gain since the outlet was up against the hot side piping.

starkmaster03 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Here is the charge pipe with the IAT screw in bunge welded in as well as the BOV flange welded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks to Cordell for helping me get these pipes cut and fabricated up. Here is the Turbo to intercooler pipe welded up Here is the intercooler charge pipe that will connect via 90 degree silicone elbow to the upper charge pipe. I also finished the scavenging pump mount. Had to go get 1/4 tungsten as I couldn't get the thicker aluminum to puddle with the 1/16 tungsten I've been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 So with your wedding next saturday is this going to be done?

Cordell Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Looks like the plan for the radiator will work, need to pressure test the cooling system now. I still think we should pressure test the intercooler system too, but I'm excited to see this come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
