My Turbo Build

Yawn haha it's been 4 months...


My semester started up again and I'm working an internship so waking up at 630 am 4 days a week is kicking my ass and my laziness has kicked in.

Still no word on the problem with my transmission

But the motor is going in and intercooling piping will be fabbed up shortly thanks to my friends. So this motor I got really has some fucked up crank in it... one the balancer was a bitch to get on, the crank was just like thousandths oversize on the snout; and now I've been informed the flywheel is having the same problem.

Yay for buying a motor pieced together by a fucking moron

No pics because I haven't been over there in a while but, the motor is back in... I guess we're gonna relocate the battery to the trunk, windshield washer reservoir is being left off, and I'm still waiting on my fucking transmission

Yay blurry pictures haha. IC piping almost done. I gotta head up there this weekend to do a whole mess of wiring.
Wideband/eboost/fuel pressure gauge/replace some sensors etc etc

Oh shoot! Getting it done I see.........awesome man!!

What are you going to do for an overflow tank? Just curious, but why not take the turbo to IC behind the radiator and in on the pass side, then out the drivers side from the IC through stock routing to the TB?

Remember my turbo is mounted on the driver's side not in front of the motor so it's much easier to route the piping on the driver's side for Turbo to IC.

And I gotta see if there's room for the stock overflow, I haven't been over there.

Plans got canceled for today, my buddy owns a business and his worker couldn't come in so he had to fill in today.

this thread has been quiet for too long.....any progress on the car?
