Which one did you go with again?

 

GT3071R. .63 a/r turbine, .50 compressor, custom machined v-band turbine outlet and 4" inlet! Haha!

 

sweet turbo. If you need an extra hand with the install hit me up man. I'm more than willing to help out!

 

Damn you. Now I really want my car to come home so I can get working on it again.

I might start tonight, rip off the n/a exhaust system and mock up the turbo to get measurements on oil/coolant line lengths.

I also need to do the CM stage 4, install the 1.8L trans with shorter gears while I do that, press all the yaya suspension bushings in, and start mounting the intercooler/fabricating the piping.

Gonna be busy the next few days!

As for the offer to help, thanks but I kind of want to do everything myself, but you are welcome to come hang out if you like.

 

well, It would drive me crazy to just stand around and not help but I think I can manage. I can come over sunday like I said in PM.

 

I have begun surgery on the tib!

The damn downpipe has to be SHARP with the v-band outlet. Damn, I had to cut an angle pipe and then do the same to the tightest bend I already had to clear the alternator by 1/4". Gonna wrap the downpipe and make a heat sheild for the alternator, hopefully it will last a bit, have an extra in case.

Actually I could definately use a hand holding exhaust and intercooler piping while I tack them.

I just found out the performance shop I am getting my braided lines from doesn't have anyone knowledgeable enough there on saturday, and the will have to order the fittings/lines (only takes a day though). So that puts my finish time to at least tuesday.

 

Ya I had a 3 inch downpipe and had to slice part off and weld a straight piece of stainless because it was literally on the alternator. Now I have MAYBE a quarter inch. What Im doing when I put the new motor in is moving the alternator back to where the ac compressor is. That should solve that.

 

^^hey! good ideaR =)

nice setup T! cool.gif

 

Thanks Pat!

I had contemplated doing that, but it will be time consuming and I wired up the in/outputs on my haltech to control the a/c so it would make that a waste.

It actually came out quite nice. I will have to post up some progress pics.

Got the downpipe and wastegate dump fabbed. Mounted the intercooler, mid way through fabrication of the intercooler piping/routing.
