Ortega_9 Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Shaved engine mount. alot of fitting and removing the turbo to make sure not to take to much off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 And turbo fitted... but still i need to remove more. i guess i didn't get the angle right when just fitting the turbo loosely with the two rear nuts only.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Now it sits like it should. and just loosly fitted the intake piping to have a look at it. there is so many tight spots along the Way, due to the turbos beeing so large, that i can see that i need to redo alot of the brackets for AC Lines, wiring etc. but seeing some piping on gives me a boost of much needed inspiration to go on with it....

Ortega_9 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Both turbos now on and ready to start doing Oil and water lines... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Oil and water done. Except for the Oil return, which i cant do before the boost pipes are fitted. and fitted the engine Mount spacers to raise the engine 6mm to make clearence for the piping. so just started putting on some pipework. Carefully making sure that nothing rubs or hits anything. Edited February 11, 2018 by Ortega_9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Some more boost pipe fitting. and also alot of small brackets and water pipes. This is a slow ass build, i know. But it's fun trying to come up with your own solutions. and everything is getting unnesesery attention, but worth it when it's done. i'we also done some horrible "welding", dooing aluminium with my mig welder.. with aluminium wire and argon. not the Best work, but it's possible, and this weld will be ground down and painted, so no harm done. dooing my engine breathing Lines in AN10 with all Black Lines and fittings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Had a few hours today to spend in the garage. so started taking apart the washer assembly for the parts i need. I need to do new hoses and a new tank or two aswell as filler pipe and wireing, as nothing will sit in place due to boost pipes coolers etc. for some this might not be needed, but beeing a streetcar i want to keep the window and headlight washers. also the powersteering reservoire will have to be moved, and i had to redo the inlet in the powersteering pump as the boost pipe is in the Way.

Ortega_9 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Test fitting the last few pieces of boost pipe..... had some serious space issues with the lhs boost pipe. but it's in now... and all scratched up, so I'll have to throw it in the pile that needs repainting. but i'm pretty happy so far... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) One side on. i Think I'll have to remove it again as i thought i could fit the lambda probe when the down pipe was fitted.... but it looks like a redo.... i'm closing in on the exhaust... i don't know what to do yet. But i'm thinking a 3"- 4" Y pipe and a single 4" mid pipe to a 2x3" rear piece and Dual back boxes.

Ortega_9 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) I Think i Got the top lambda probe fitted to the lhs downpipe. And then i fitted the probe to the right side prior to fitting it! There is NO room what so ever with theese HUGE pipes... And with that, it's almost the last thing on the todo list before moving on to ecu, AFR gauge and fuelpump... slowly running out of parts to put on. getting there Edited March 9, 2018 by Ortega_9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
