hahaha, NO KIDDING, i need to do that, i am hoping maybe thursday to get out 30 min early so i can get there berfore five... but i am sure that will not happen... but i am at a sudden holt before i can start work up again, i need to get two new cv shafts, my spindles and control arms are at a friends shop getting ball joints and wheel bearings in it..., after that i am just waiting on money.. i am thinking it is going to take about 400 dollars to get mine up and running again... but we will see

 

I just got a call that my new emissions lines from an SRT came in last night, so I will be installing them i hope tonight. I will get eveything else mocked up so I can get the cold side piping mocked up so i can get it welded..

will post up pics..

 

sweet, can't wait to see those pics

 

Well I picked up the part, and it wasn't what I expected ( it was free, so np) I have to figure out what my next step is. Will be picking up my O2 housing on Friday I hope, and that will give me this weekend to get the rest of the parts on, and ready for mocking up the cold side.... Will post pics when I can.

 

Well, today I had a buddy help me swap out the housing and install the polished one on the turbine. I also talked to a few other buddies of mine and they convinced me to run the water with the oil. So I had to locate the old OEM lines and decided to give them a polish and the same goes for the wastegate.





Now that I'm going to use the waterlines with the system, and my hard lines do not provide me with a tie in point, I think that i'm going to cut the rubber hoses that attach to the hard lines and make up a tee using brass fittings ( from HomeDepot).



I also drained the oil from the car, since I'm going to have to drop the pan to cut my oil drain from the turbo. The funny thing is I"m not totall sure how I"m going to do that. Hahaha.

On a second note I'm looking for an SRT cluster to swap out my POS one, and swap out the bulbs with white LED from onzium ( I saw LSP using them and loved the look) So now I just need to figure out how many I'm going to need.

I'm picking up the O2 housing tomorrow so then I can go order the gaskets to connect all together. This might be a productive weekend.

 

I hope so, ur car looks so much better than mine does... damn it... lol, the polish work looks REALLY good nate... keep it up, and cant wait to see it back together...

what r u going to run for a fuel system? or u going rrfpr?

 

thanks. naw.. we just have different styles thats all. I really didn't think that the polish was going to look that good.

For the fuel setup, i have a walbro fuel pump, and an aeromotive RRFPR, so I have the fittings, and now i need to get the set up.

 

oh, did u need a reg? or do u have it?

 

no I already have a RRFPR. Do you know the size of the heater Inlet hose? I'm trying to see if Summit or Jegs have a "T" so I can tie the water lines from the turbo into them. It is either there or making one from Lowes, in barb fittings.

Well, I kicked off today with a little progress. I cleaned the garage and found the mount for the cruise control, and I gave it a try to mount the alternate overflow container. I hope that this will work..






I also took off the oil pan so I can get it ready for the drain for the turbo. will get it done this week at my buddies house to get the job done.


and the lower end looks beautiful..


So I decided to go alittle further and I removed the front and rear sway bars and my old valve cover.


and here is the front ( SRT) and rear (R/T ) that are going to be colored matched to.....

The VC is going to be the same with Polished lettering ( Thanks LSP)
