Wow, just came across this thread looks great. Its awesome to see the hard work people put in and the fab work that makes it unique. Also, if im not incorrect, im pretty sure this was owned by a guy i went to high school with. I remember those 2g rims and the hood. I went to school in northern ia if that helps but its crazy to see it again on here. Anywho keep up the good work!!

All the fab works look great, but I had a thought. It looks like you are running solid engine mounts in the front, but You engine is still going to move back and for under load. I'm not sure how long those pretty pipes are going to hold up if your turbo is mounted to the rad support. Just a thought. Looks nice though.

Thanks for all the good feedback so far guys. As far as turbo location we used the bracket connected to rad support for manifold fabbing. If you look at the pic with the three runners done its gone lol. Manifold should be done this week, next is fuel lines and custom coolant pipes

 

[rexwagon1909]

Manifold welded up minus wg flange and dump

Been some set backs on the car. My builder (motor, trans, turbo setup, FMIC, and fuel system) fell behind due to too much work etc. Finally getting things finished up hopefully done very soon. I am using a purple tial bov and waste gate, to match this for oil feed line I found a 24 inch 4AN PTFE braided N20 Line from NEX systems. Looks great and matches my color theme.

To run Oil cooler lines and trans cooler lines, we had to find a solution due to the lack of room due to afco radiator and large FMIC. Solution has to modify bumper supports and make removable brackets to hold an oiler cooler on one side and trans on other. So far oil cooler has plenty of room and clearance (almost 8 inches from lines to ground even with car low from coil overs). Using all russell pro classic lines and fittings.

Here are some pics of trans cooler, also 2g auto is in car

[IncorpoRatedX]

Really coming along ben!

 

[rexwagon1909]

Thanks guys, I'm really excited to see it be done. My buddy does amazing fab work.

 

[rexwagon1909]

More stuff coming a long. Since we are using an AFCO radiator, Dee fabbed me some stainless coolant hard lines

 

[rexwagon1909]

More things done today: Tial BOV flange welded in an installed. Speed Density is next.

 

[GSX_TC]

I like the stainless radiator hoses, are you going to keep it with couplers holding them or are you eventually gonna do like a -20an on them?

 

[rexwagon1909]

Probably stick with couplers for now. I may switch to 20 an down the road.

Dash 20's would really set off those parts, but they're just kinda pricey haha.
