all the little things!

completed tons of little things today, coolant hoses, bypasses, vac hoses, returns, lots of little things that needed to get done, got a belt that fits in 2 trys! must be a new record for guessing, also found a lower radiator hose that fits awesome just looking at the rack haha

also picked up two 180 deg 3 inch exhaust pipes from my friend, and made a downpipe with 2 bungs (one for stock computer narrowband, and one for wideband for tuning) and that fits awesome surprisingly hah.

all that is left to do is clean up under the car, there is coolant and antifreeze that needs, then i get to crawl under there and install the trans cooler and wire up the tranny cooler fan.

then test everything out, fire it up and warm it up hah, all goes well drive it around this week

home stretch with the twin turbo truck


well, busted ass today, hung the turbos, got all the intercooler piping cept for a crazy section in the front, from above the sway bar, to the intercooler in the front, going to an auto store tomorrow to grab 90 and 45 couplers and see what will work best for that, quit on that and finished all the wiring for everything, installed fuse panel, then we figured out what we wanted to do for the exhaust and figured fuck it, make both duals go back to where the stock exhaust was, more length should calm it down, blowing it out the passenger side in front of the tire like a lightning, so fabbed up all that today, and welded in a bung for the wideband. plugged in the stock narrow bands up front, all the couplers are connected nice for the turbo outlets, replaced the center driveshaft piece today with the right one finally...

also mounted the oil return pump to the frame. finished all the wiring and hoses for that...

everything is looking good, very very few things left to do.

should be ready to fire up and let the motor, coolant and trans come up to temp, check for leaks, and make sure everything is full.

then if all is well maybe it will move under its own power?!
