hey nate, how much room u have for ur fuel rail between the rail and hood, the indy manifold sits the fuel rail strait up, i was just thinking, is it going to hit my hood???? i am going to put the hood on this weekend and see... not cool if it hits... either way one will have to go, prolly be the intake if so....

 

I have clearance with no issues, if it don't fit use a hammer on the hood LOL i kid i kid

 

Well I worked on the car a bit tonight, but not much though... I picked up some heat wrap for the lines on the firewall so the Turbo exhaust manifold wont' melt them..



I also wanted to mount up the O2 housing to the turbo fold, but I'm missing the damn bolts... Grrrrrr.. Anyone know the correct size they would be so I can get some this weekend.



I also took off the headlights off and gave the new ones a test fit..



Hood down





I still need to modify the cooling lines, but I think that I need to wait until I get the turbo in so I can properly measure the area of the fittings.

Oh I almost forgot.. I picked up the return fitting that I can mount it on the access cap. I have a 1/2" drill bit and I need a 3/4" to make it fit. I"m going to do -6 from the regulator to the tank, so I need to pull out the second hard fuel line out of the way.

Will post pics tomorrow.

 

Lookin good, I want your intake.

 

damn it, i really like those headlights... ugh.... sometimes i wish i did not convert to 03+ headlights. but i may go with some like that at some point....

 

i think that your car looks good as is and I wouldn't change a thing

 

only thing i am thinking about changing is going to rt sideskirts and rear lip.... but not sure yet... lol, we will just see... i am hoping to get it running next weekend, have to go to the shop to try to figure out how to get the lines to work with that rail.... having issues with my fuel return....

nate u know on ur rail how it kinda steps out? did u use the port above the step at all? just wondering because the an fitting can not thread into it becaue of the step.. (would be on the passanger side of the car

 

I used the port that was already set up on the rail. I had no issues with it.

Well I took some pics of the car, and did a little bit of work, not much though...

Here is the roll over return line installed, and its a -8 fitting and the rest of my lines are going to -6, soooo... I have to get a reducer at my local speed shop, and need to find me a place to get fuel lines that don't come in only 3 foot sections...



I also took a uni-bit to the oil pan to make for the return line, and now I'm kinda torn if I should drill the other two holes and bolt it to the oil pan, or find someone that can weld the fitting to the oil pan. If I weld, then I need to modify the fitting, and if I bolt, then need to make a gasket so it won't leak...

main hole drilled.. and bolt area mocked up.


What it should fit on the pan..


and what it should look like once I figure out what I need to do next


So here I am again at a stand still. I also am trying to figure if I should do the cooliant "T" or try to get another hard line and drill and thread a 1/4" NPT in it to run the lines....



What you all think???

 

that is a sexy oil pan, glad to see you back on.

 

looking good nate, good luck... keep up the good work
