my ****ty intercooler welds and new hood latch. still working on the saftey catch. i plan on running 2 pipes out of the top pf the intercooler to the throttle body. i will have to notch and box the rad support to do this.

new aluminum fan monts. i had to lower the fans to fit the dual 3" down pipes. i also had to lower the swaybar 2" but it should still be higher than the k member..

I am working on fabbing up own turbo set up also. Looks like yours is coming along nice. I wanted to do twins but but it didnt work out for me. Nice job on the headers ! What size turbos are you running ?

60-1's

.81 exhaust housings

definately nice lookin headers.

loving your build man, keep up the posts

nice lookin hot parts..

dig the setup

just waiting on parts, and my argon ran out. got a new bottle today and made some wastegate flanges today.

Looks awesome! what do you plan on doing to the engine?

right now its stock probaly under 5lbs.. i have another engine that will be built mid summer. probably try to get 3mo out of the stocker hopefully i dont pop it. doesnt really matter if i do pop it just would be a bit of a waste as its a low k motor.

my new engine will be a 383.

heads i have ported stockers that made the numbers in sig.
je 31cc dish pistons
eagle forged 3.75
eagle 5.7 H beams (probably get upgraded bolts)
eagle 4 bolt mains
i have arp head bolts may get studs
probably get some high z 79lb injectors and twin intake pumps

who fabbed up them headers for you?

i fabbed them up..

made new hood latch, pop and saftey catch today

can i pull oil from the back of the engine where the presure sender is?

also will i be able to hook my pcv breather into my turbo inlet? will i need a oil separator?

1) yes, you can pull oil from the aux. port above the filter
2) you can do that, if you do, you will need an oil/water seperator, can be had for like $5.

Your other option for the PCV vent, is to run the breather tube off the passenger side VC into a "breather tank". like this http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2DG1504&N=700+115&autoview=sku

i want to pull oil from the back of the engine behind the intake mainfold. there is a 1/8" fitting that the oil sender goes into. i want to add a t and run the oil sender and the turbos.

also i think that i may need a smaller catch can.

Yes, you can pull oil from there as well. Just add a T-fitting, or in your case, 2 T-fittings.

notched rad support today

Nice work!, what kind of hood latch is that? any info?

Bill

here is one very similar to the one i used. it will hold 750lbs should be ok.

Looks great! do you plan on painting or polishing the piping?

wow good work!!!!!

Wow, very nice work! Great job on building the headers and the general fab-work. More pics & progress :cool:

you should ditch that MAF and go speed density with a 2 bar map tune :)

you should ditch that MAF and go speed density with a 2 bar map tune :)

for now its staying... i have a piece of pipe thou that will be used to removely maf if i do a 2 bar tune.. for now with this stock motor it will only see 4-5 psi with maf

mid summer i am going to start a engine build and it will go 2 bar no maf.

still have to feed turbos oil and drain
build exhaust
run heater hoses
bov and wastegate boost and vacume lines
drain the 3 yr old gas from the tank
make new rad overflow
make new power steering tank
make new washer fluid tank
drop sway bar ~2"
re plum brake lines

car fired up today for the first time in 4 years. after hearing how quiet it is with just 15" of down pipe i have decided to not run mufflers.. i will just run cats. car had no coolant in it so i only let it run for a bit. also i never hooked up the charge tube to the throttle body as it was still programed with tons of timing.. i more or less wanted to see if this motor was any good..

i need to re route my one rad hose and am looking for some sch20 pipe and weld on elbows. does any one know where i can get this? or even better 1.25 od s/s tube and bends.

does anyone have a tune that i can start with? car is 95 6 speed..

real nice build. Jealous:)

Awesome work! Love the fact that you kept a/c. You have some amazing skills man.

yeah i have been ripping around with it lately.. it goes pretty good. my fuel pump is crapping out i need to get the dual walboros.. it leans right out up top and the pressure drops off.

i am getting 20 miles per gallon mixed town highway, with the stock engine.. its making me want to keep the compression on the higher side so my mpg's dont take a crap when i put the new engine in.

This project is really starting to come together ! What expansion tank are you running on the drivers side ?

the aluminum tank is a rad oveflow tank.. its a custom one off akafred unit..

Holy Shi* that is a SICK setup. You should market it! Have you brought it too the dyno yet?

nope i was going to but the clutch started to slip.. my injector duty cycle tells me it should be making ~450rwhp as i am running 11.5 afr and maxing out 42lb/h injectors at 65psi (6lbs boost)

i am trying to get some money together to build a 383 stroker, and a dual disk clutch.

Awesome setup! I'd love to build a serious setup like that for someone.

i cant wait to put a real engine behind those hairdryers. this stock engine bores me.. with the 9.00:1 cr 383 i plan on putting in there it should work allot better. i should be able to make 700hp to the wheels i hope.. i would go lower on the compression but that would require me selling my ported heads and buying some trickflows or AFR's. i think 9.0:1 should make it fun to drive on the street.

9:1 CR is fine!

actually i just recalculated and it would end up at 9.4:1 if i want to have any quench i would end up 9.4:1

i figured 383 with 31cc dish .029 gasket and .010 deck height and 54cc heads.

Man, your welding prowess is incredible. Is that what you do for a living? Keep up the good work and continue to portray it here. It's inspirational. :)

no i don't weld for a living. never have hopefully never will. this it my first welding project. i bought a 500A transformer tig machine for 50$ (400$ by the time i got supplies) and started practicing. i do however work in the metal industry.

welding as a trade is a dirty job that can be bad for your health..

Well, all I can say is you must be a welding prodigy then. I've seen guys welding for quite awhile whose welds look like crap. Yours looks like a certified pro in the pictures. Kudos to you.
