im pretty excited about all this and hope to have it done within 2 weeks. so stay tuned and dont touch that dial!

 

how much do you estimate the complete build is going to cost??

 

$1500 total including the tune

 

hows progress going?

 

my fe5 control arms, ss/sc brakes, ans 225/40/18 eagle gt's set me back a little bit on the progress. zzp sent me one of the wrong lines but other then that so far so good. only a couple things left to do. i have to drill the block for the oil return and then drill the coolant line on the head for the lnf lines to work. its a lot of work but i hope its worth it.

 

UPDATE: i purchased an oil feed flange from vulcan and an 18" oil drain hose (have to use an oil feed flange drilled out on the lnf turbo. Matt at ZZP has been a pretty big help so far he is looking for the coolant feed line for me. i have to get the charge piping now and an LNF thermostat housing and all is gravy (beside the tune, still have to order it)

 

update: cxracing emailed me today and informed me that the universal piping kit i ordered is out of stock unlike their ebay auction said... ********. and now i have 2 wait 2 weeks for them to ship it!

 

update.... the car is parked in the carport waiting to be torn down. i have to wait on parts to come in so i can really get going and get it done... i have to buy a thermostat housing and a tune yet but everything else is either ready to go on or on its way here. scheduled to start on it wednesday its kinda sad to know its no longer n/a

 

my build thread fails... im talking to myself...

update: had to order a new coolant tube across the back of the engine its being overnighted
my charge piping will be here wednesday
i ordered my trifecta tune and cable today so i am now a dealer
and my exhaust should be here by the end of the week
soooo everything is coming together this week

 

My only concern is that the 42's might be to small for your application, but I don't know how much boost you plan on pushing.

 

7 psi for now lol... and slowswap you coulda warned me that the coolant crossover tube would be in the way of the manifold...

 

I didn't know that! lol

 

well now ya do. the 2.2 one is like this ---- the lnf one is like \__/ to go below the turbo manifold and just so you know... i have already went well past my $1500 goal

 

i already got my turbo kit and installed it! now im the FIRST TURBO LAP! beat you to it

 

liar... unless your going twin charged with your future supercharger kit

 

nah just messin wit yah but im waiting for you to finish your build to see if i wanna go turbo or super lol so hurry

 

im trying my tuning cable is on backorder for a day or two and im having trouble seating the injectors... i hope 42s are enough bc im not changing them again!!! i got my harness repinned and realized i didnt have any electrical tape

 

how much money you throw down so far?

 

i stopped counting lol but like 2g now with the tune and i bought the cable so i can be a dealer

i think i finally got the injectors in, the harness done, and the sparkplugs in and the entire exhaust removed so i can get the rear coolant tube and t stat housing off so i can switch it out and drill/tap it. a lot of parts are coming tomorrow for me

 

What bov are you going to be running? Recircing it correct?

 

Damn man get this build done already. haha
I know u can do it.........

 

your the one that walked me through the injectors and harness chad and slowswap im using the factory bov to cut on cost.

 

get that damn oil pan off and start cleaning all the gunk off lol.
Also use a T bit for the oil feed galley plug. I think it is a t44. It is better than an alen key. better fit but if u dont have them use an alen key just be careful. U can also get vise grips around the edge of the galley plug while using an alen key. much easier in my experience

 

k now tell me how to get that coolant tube off... and i have the torx bits

 

umm there are bolts on each side of the coolant pipe. take all the bolts out on the right side and take all the bolts out on the left side by thermostate. wiggle and that bitch should come out. the tab takes the main pipe out of the right side plate and the pipe will pull out of the thermostat housing
