test fitting motor, turbo kit, turbo and more

threw in a bunch today, test fitted nearly everything, measuring how much needs to get cut out of the oil pan, and more. some nice pics of how the hotside fits in the car also.

reiners hotside, mounts, and turbo support

today i finally got the reiners hotside that he built for my fairmont, he included engine mounts, and the complete turbo hotside for the car, this will hold the s476 for ward facing in the grille of the car.

Reiners hotside for fairmont 4

Done! Ready to bolt in the car

finished hotside, more wiring, driveshaft too long, FEK

well the damn driveshaft is too long, i measured it too long, fawk,
going to drop that off tomorrow, that is the first time i have fucked one up haha damnit

anyway i did more wiring, ripped out the steering column wiring and neutral and reverse safety wiring etc. got the ford starter wire to kick with the two wires for the trans bridged, now this is interesting, it has like 6v, then when you key it hits 12... 

now i have this wired to a relay and it is working, but i wonder if the car running will make more than 6v and hit the starter on its own? anyone ever mess with the stock starter switch?

anyway i finished the hotside and bolted it up, installed the other side spark plugs and etc, had to bend the fuel rail feed out of the way it was hitting the connectors on a clutch pack for cyl 5. easy fix.

installed the wastegate, and bolted up the oil feed and drain, bolted the turbo to the turbo kit for now also.

its all together just have to do the drain and get the rest of the wires working, upper rad hose fits, lower rad hose not that great, going to try another one from auto/advanced again.

anyway here are pics of my latest pigbin hotside

Corvrtte altetnator braket and moved turbo

threw on the corvette bracket today and looked for where i wanted to put the turbo, moved it over to the right side and re did the hotside, ill grab pictures of that then also! not much else left to do on this pig, even though i am working on it slowly it will probably be done soon

starting hotside

started to mock up the hot side, well, cut and bolted in my manifolds, then held some pipes in to get ideas and moved the turbo around, waiting on some Vbands and i will be able to tack some stuff up. thursday night i am sure there will be an update

more progress and being a ricer

got my oil fitting, welded it shut and drilled it to restrict the feed to the turbo, separated the housings and bolted it down with spray RTV and a gasket, then bolted the turbo into its home and connected the oil line.

then my dad cut out the hood and we painted a stripe to contrast the hood sticking out haha.

still gotta do the crossover and some other things but its going good!
