uh oh IIITTSSSS ALLIVVEEEE!!!!!!!

 

Good work so far, hope to see some dyno sheets when its all said and done!

 

well its almost alive....im still wating to get my fuel pump back...then i have to run the return line and the fuel crap....still have to do the rest of the exhaust...and the intercooler piping...

chances are that it will ba a long time beofre seeing any dyno sheets since i have no idea where a dyno is at....i was told there was one a couple hours away so maybe one day i will find out......but in the spring the me, the wife, and my mom are gonna go to the track so i will post some timeslips then....and my mom wants to race me in her car....but im positive i will win

 

good job! i envy people who can weld

looks like the turbo is really tight against the firewall. you may want to build some plastic airdamb thingy to send cool air from front to back.

 

I hope you dont have issues with engine movement and that turbo being so close to the firewall >.<

 

well i have a solid mount in the front that holds the engine very still and i have to remove the rear bobble strut to run the intercooler piping....but either way, if it moves a little then hopefully the turbo will just mash in the firewall a little so that i dont have too.....

i still dont know where im gonna run the intake at...i was thinking of putting the filter right above the tranny under the master cylinder, but i wont find that out until the battery box goes back in.....
there is still alot of work to do...hopefully today i can run the intercooler piping and maybe run the return line and put in the external fuel pump...but i will have to see how today goes...

if i get alot done today today then i will put up some more pics

 

Hey, cant you just remove the battery to the trunk? and remove the box? That would save you some trouble.[>:]

 

no i dont want it in the trunk....too much work to move it....and i need the trunk space for work....same reason im not hooking the NOS up for the time being.....

i would rather have the battery under the hood anyways....i dont really car for the look of under the hood without the battery being in there

 

hey spud, how much boost do u plan on running on ur stock block with 150k? i believe i have around 158k and if ur turbo will withstand 8psi with no probs, maybe i might be installing my kit this weekend and just waiting on the rebuild...and ill just go get it tuned.
