k thanks chad. i have to remove the t stat housing as well so i can drill it

 

pics???

 

maybe i can get psychocam to upload the pics but the coolant tube is on the thermostat housing drilled and tapped, manifold is on, turbo is on, oil feed line is on, coolant return line is on, intake is on, maf installed, and the o2 sensor housing is on now i feel like i got a lot done today

o and the firewall insulation is off now as well

 

bout f*?$king time lol now tune it and fire it up

 

**** that firewall carpet haha i told u it would help haha.
I will try to get pics up tonight but cant garuantee anything.

obtw ur car will be slow......u should have gone with a huge garret so big u had to cut out ur firewall.

dont be scared haha

no but seriously it will rip like no other

 

Or just do a small wire tuck and shove the turbo where the fuse block sits. Far easier.

 

HERE YA GO ! ! !

thanks chad! there is a couple teaser pics. i have to get my o2 bung for my wideband welded in tomorrow and my fmic mounted and get a 2 inch to 2.5 reducer for the turbo and an elbow to install my charge pipes, drill the upper rad hose on the head for my coolant line and wait on vulcan who is taking their sweet ass time on the oil return line

 

still waiting on vulcan, my bung is welded on the downpipe... picking it up in the morning bought a 14mm banjo fitting for my coolant feed to go on. another banjo bolt since my fiance lost the $22 bolt my tune should be here saturday i have to buy a silicone elbow to go on the throttle body... im about half tempted to drive it without a intercooler and run from the turbo straight to the engine just so i can drive it

 

my exhaust came today and is mocked up (has to be welded or clamped) my downpipe is in, my fmic is in, my wideband sensor is in. now tomorrow i get to hook up the wideband and make my injector harness look a little better. the neighbors got pissed bc i was making too much noise with my bfh 5 more days till i get the rest of my silicon connectors and i can start it up. i had to bend my ac lines to install my charge pipes but so far so good. my tune should be here tomorrow or monday. and still waiting on my oil return from vulcan turbo... o i also have a banjo fitting coming from ATP and im not sure but i think i need a new thermostat housing from a lnf... when i tapped it i didnt get it perfectly straight so i think im going to leak coolant there

 

did you ever think that it woluld be easier and faster just to have ordered the turbo kit from zzp?

 

yes.... i got pissed one night and listed everything for sale then after i calmed down i started working on it again... now im almost finished im 5 days away from being done I HOPE

and the first thing im doing after its running again is washing the enginebay and whole car. as well as washing it any other time i work on it, i have little rocks and pieces of dirt constantly falling in my eyes

 

they might look gay but safty glasses work wonders

 

that they do, but mine are about 30 mins away at my parents house

 

glad to see its coming together for ya

 

When this is done, you've gotta give us some numbers. Horses, torque, top speeds although don't get caught lol.I'm gonna be keeping a very close eye on this thread!

 

i cant go fast.. i only haz teh 2.2 and ya i will have to put it on the rollers. sucks that i will have all this money in the car and it wont even run 12s... but better than 16s

top speed depends on how long you keep your foot in it...

borrowing my parents laptop to upload the base tune but still 4 days away from starting it.. i have my fingers crossed that my oil stuff comes today

 

Hope it comes soon so you can keep rolling with the build.

 

nothing today from vulcan, hopefully monday then

didnt do much today, removed my intake manifold, drilled it and put a fitting for my bov and boost gauge. and ran the wires for my wideband... i need some compressed air or carb cleaner... i got dirt sitting on my valves

 

Goodluck with the build and keep us updated.

 

im trying lol but im quitting early tonight im so ****** drunk i cant hardly see what im saying lol.

 

Where the hell are the pics? zomg

 

psychocam has them lol

spoke with vince today, he is finishing up my tune... and wednesday when i put a new screen in the laptop i can upload the tune

 

didnt touch the car yesterday (spent the whole day with inlaws)

today i got my coolant banjo bolt and fitting so i should have all the lines hooked up by tonight besides the oil return line

 

well the battery in my car died so i cant work on it much more tonight... but all the charge pipe is on just needs to be tightened. still no oil line from vulcan! and vince should be almost done writing the tune. i hope to start it tomorrow night

and psychocam has more pics he needs to upload for me
