well guys, hotside is all welded and assembled




now, i know the wastegate is a little low (lowest is just under k-member), but, its all welded up and done.
I also know that the welds arent the best, and that my merge isnt "ideal", but, it'll all work haha

Time for coldside and to start finishing wiring, etc.

i wonder how under hood temps would be with the pipes up like that, are you going to cerma coat and wrap the headers? it might be cool to get some sort of like 2" cowl to vent some of that heat out, on my roadmasteri have alot of piping as well but it is a larger engine bay but i have no inner wheelwells so it worked out well with me plus my 2" cowl and dual z-34 vents.

looking good though you definetely assembeled it pretty quick just make sure you go over everything before you crank as ready as you are to turn her over...

2" cowl hood, your crazy. Im getting a 4" VFN fiberglass more than likely, idk, contemplating on a 2.5" harwood.

I have a LOT of stuff i need to do before i crank it up. Oil lines, tighten the steering shaft (bolts are in, but not TIGHT), injectors, intercooler, guages, list just goes on and on. Not really expecting to start it for another 2 months or so (may)

Ya I would say you def need to coat and wrap those parts. they are going to be close to the hood and you will blister the paint in a hurry.

yeah. everything is getting wrapped, and probably not actual ceramic coat, probably stove paint. Ceramic coating is too $$ for the amount of piping i have
