My progress pics of the last week

Can't wait for the snail to get here, then I have to plumb it, finish the body work, and do some tuning :) Family racing, dad holding everything straight, my brother sitting on his ass, and me taking pics.

I'm dying to drive it, havent driven it since last april :eek:

lookin nice, definately makes me wish i would have gone with one of realquicks hotside kits, except i saved quite a bit of $$ doing things myself, its just not as pretty, or really "bolt on" as his kits are

Not as pretty as I would have liked, but I think it will do pretty well. :cool:

You should have seen the one I took b4 this one :p

Nice! I am jealous of your progress. My car has been sitting on its ass for the past 1.5 years!

Yea I was hoping to have it running today, but of course ran into a few issues. I put a cap on my fuel schrader valve b/c I dont have the valve that goes inside of it, well it's leaking like crazy. I want to fire the car up b4 I bolt the turbo on b/c I want to get any crap that's in the pipes, out. So I have to wait until I can get that leak fixed. My turbo also hits the ABS block, so I'm going to delete that now.

shrader valve from time may have worked.

You mean from a tire? Yea I'm thinking the SAME thing, the only thing I was worried about was the gas eating the seal b/c I dont know what it's made out of. That's the only reason I havent done it yet

Well trying to get the cap off that I put on, I broke the shrader valve. Got a piece of fuel hose and clamps and fixed it. Fired the car up to blow the crap out of the pipes, bolted the turbo up, ran the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler, and the oil lines. I've come to the conclusion I have to get new fans, even with one taken out, still dont have enough room to pipe the intercooler to tb.

97, i know how that goes. I just stood my radiator vertical while i was at it haha.

Yea I dont need THAT much room, and my dad doesnt want me to cut up my rad support, and I agree with him :D. I'm buying some low profile flex-a-lite pushers and putting them in front of the radiator, should give me MORE than enough room. The stock fans sit out 3.5 inches to the shroud, and 5.5 inches to the fan motor.

yeah, i didnt want to cut mine up either, but, i needed the room, and then i broke the nipple off for the overflow, so, i bit the bullet haha.

More update pics!!!

I told jon about the downpipe already so he can make future kits with more ground clearance. I have a welder so I'm just going to cut it off and reweld it higher.

Great pics bro!

might want to check your air dam fitting wtih the pipes right there. I didn't want to cut my air dam, so i had to get a couple extra 90* fittings and just went up and around it

Oh I just put those on there so see how far I had to cut them. I already routed the turbo to intercooler, only using one 90 and that curve tube cut about 4" shorter on the piece that connects to the intercooler. The air damn should have a good amount of room. I'll post pics of the routing once I'm done, waiting for the fans to get here first.

Great pics bro!

yeah man, that is awsome. i know what my next build is gonna be:devil:

It's alive, going to paint it either this weekend or next, then it's driving time :cz28:

Got to tell us more than that... go break it in and report back.

Nice. mines sorta alive. lol, it starts, it runs....just doesnt drive yet.

I need to finish up a few small things (have my steam vent just capped off right now, needa get that tee'd in), and then get my tune figured out (jumps all over at idle)

Got to tell us more than that... go break it in and report back.
I cant, it's missing the front and rear bumpers, license plate, registration, and insurance :p I need to paint it, then I'll get it back on the skreets. I'm going to break it in off boost, just so I dont have to play around with AFR and timing when I should be seating the rings.

Awesome dude!

Awesome dude!
Thanks, I cut off the end of the downpipe today, I think I'm just going to leave it like that and run open DP, it's not that loud :cool: I've got to do a new bung for the wideband though.

NICE, thanks a lot, I'll send you an email now.

Yall said bung

I have run mine for over 1000 miles now with an open downpipe. Its not that loud when driving the car, whats starting to bother me though is you can't really work under the hood with the car running. Valve adjustment, things like that.

I think I am going to run it out the back, throw on what ever muffler I can scavenge, and put one of my electric cutouts right off the downpipe.
