your intercooler is like a half inch too far to the right

 

why didnt u get the extended tip s20g i have it and it is alot eaiser to work with ( meaning the charge pipe connectors and t bolt clamps) but good looking build so far bro

 

yeah ure intercooler needs to be moves to the left a tad bit ( facing our car in the front )

 

rice......








lol. u guys need more dahkness in the club haha



good lookin build sir

 

yeah, the brackets are going to get redone for the intercooler (hopefully that will help the fitment issues a little). The reason I didn't get the extended tip 20g is because I got this one second hand (albeit brand new never used) from a member here.

Tyrone, sorry bro....you have to settle with being GMSA's token....we already have one

 

there arent enough mexicans in that picture.

 

oh ok....... well keep us updated bro

 

i think i'm mexican enough for all of you vatos!

 

Thats where I come in to the group to even it out a little bit lol

 

OMG that was the worst thing I ever had to do on the car so far. I'm a small guy and I thought I was gonna die from exhaustion. I used my upper body and a 70lb wait to try and keep it together while I struggled to put and tighten the screws.

 

Also instead of this:



You should have done this:



at car shows or meets lol

 

that s/c was always meant to be a functional piece. Besides, you assume that there's no spare parts near me


Also....I had decided some time after this show (or slightly before this particular show) that I'm not going for a show quality ride. I just want it to look nice to me. It's my dd, and the only one it needs to impress is myself, and occasionally my wife.

 

you work like a mexican....you even nothing out...

 

This build = sex. Love the color on the Manifold bro. Very nice. Just take your time like you're doing and get everything straightened out. That 20g will hold you over for a while Your car's so clean, I'm jealous haha.

Thanks for the good review man. haha At least I think it was good

 

Good read!

 

just wait til those stock headlights come in and I start my next project. It'll start with Buy HID's DIY kit, but I want to play around with painting the plastic, and get some eyelids on there.


Thanks for the comments guys! Hopefully this week will be the rebirth! Gonna put it on a "get me home" tune, and once everything is broken in properly, we'll open her up.

 

Okay, so, the last time I update this thread (or bumped) was almost two months ago. Car is NEAR completion now. But we had some major issues with parts. Here's what's been going on:

-THE BIGGEST ******* HEADACHE E-V-A-R was the hahn turbo mani that I purchased. As indicated in my other threads, it was made for a j-bod. FFFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!! So we had to order a mani from ZZP.

-Along with the ZZP mani, we ordered two o2 bungs (stainless), a 3" maf tube, flanges for custom exhaust piece, and some other misc. stuff.

-ZZP's mani was on back order. FAK!!! So the rsfs and oil lines were taken care of in the mean time, and not much else got done.

-Three weeks later, ZZP stuff finally shows, and REAL progress was made. Quality parts too!! Thx guys!

-Weird situation happened with v-band flange, so we had to cut it off and rig a new flange on it.

-Charge pipes currently being fabbed, along with intake. Intercooler was "persuaded" to move to the right slightly, and the crash bar was "motivated" to fit

I have a cell pic of the exhaust piece, but it's on my cell phone, and I can never get my cell to do what I want. But it's awesome ****! Any day now, the next post I put will be pics of the finished product.

 

good stuff man. progress is always good

 

my intercooler isn't centered either. It's a bit too large and I'd have to figure out a way to move the radiator back cus I don't want to cut into the crash bar. good work keep it up!

 

Weird situation with V-band :P

 

thx bro! will keep you updated!

a little cut here and there isn't that bad. I was honestly thinking about just leaving it off.

I've honestly never seen something like that. But I'm glad we all agreed on what the simplest solution was.

Damn guys, you made me into a liar

Did you just weld to the turbine housing then?

 

I submit these for everyone's viewing pleasure:

The tune is by no means dialed in yet. I'm only boosting 15psi at the moment until I get a manual boost controller (and possibly bigger cojones). We're also chasing a weird "clunking" noise that's occurring somewhere under the intake manifold and behind the alternator.

 

jizz in my pants...

 

Very good job man! Good luck with the mods!
