Well unfortunately the bayis in a under construction stae so you will really have to wait to see what it will truly look like but here is a hold over pic from a few pages back, it is very full right now

 

Lol, all I can say is damn, what a mess lol. You should also change the shocks for the hood lol.

 

*nods*yeah.. that bright blue doesn't fit... or is that just something holding up the hood? nice cleaning job on the motor parts.

only thing i can think of that would rally make it pop, is to get some highheat metal paint for the turbo. that'd pull it all together nicely.

also.. when you're all done... plastic and tape off everything beside the shock mounts and the rad support... then tape off all the little nuts and bolts... then plastic and tape the fenders slightly below where it 45` bends at the top *to where you can still see the fender's mounting side in the bay* then do an over spray of gloss white. that'll get rid of any small imperfections that are right up close when you first open the hood. ;]

 

:woot: Turbos are done I will be picking them up tomorrow

Lol, the blue thing is a broom stick that is holding up the hood I will one day get something nice to replace it. But I don't have hood struts because it is a Carbon Fiber hood and the compression as higher than I feel good about. And this is the worst teh engine has looked since it has been in it (see sig). But yeah it is going to get some jet hotting and some powder coating and then once I recoop. from all this mess I will get to the body work and fill teh excess holes and paint teh engine bay. I am sticking to my plan So it will be a full fledge make over for her.

Ok I can rest a little easier about the exhaust routing under and behind the power steering. In fact I will admit that I contemplated daily whether I was going to attempt to swap the PS to the other side to avoid flow restriction, but I feel pretty good about it now. And yes it is mandrel bent :2cool:

The tape disguises it but the bend is quite acceptaple

Excuse the pluming that it is leaning against I had to support the pipe.

 

looks nice... i'd really like to do a powder coat on my s13's bay.. it's a white car too.

i love white engine bays..

makes everything pop.

...then again... i really like flat black muscle car engine bays too. lol

 

wow your really kick butt on this

 

Please allow me to introduce the twins that are going into the bad twin. Now someone said this was a nightmare well here is a precurser to your darkest deepest dreams.

A legend lovers wettest dream, the competitions unexpected nightmare

 

:bowdown: They are 100% beautiful... Very nice :yes:

 

Telion,
I’m confused by the images one turbo looks bigger than the other, is it just the image or are they different? Are you setting up sequential system?

~Dv8

 

It looks like he was showing new vs. old turbos in that one pic. I don't get it either.

 

The turbos (blades) themsleves are actaully the same size however one compressor housing is actually a M11 and the other is a M10 but they are both upgraded from the original size and they are sexy. It is a little deceptive though because of the compressor housing size one also appears to be a little bored out but I figure what I will do is take the bored out one and place that on the side that has the longest distance to the intake. The corrugated hose also came in yesterday and I might get away with the one 48" hose.

 

Looks like Dv8 is gonna be done before you bro... ETA?

 

Its not a race and I don't mind, it would be nice to see his full build before I am done lol But no set ETA I happy to be at a point where I actually can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Weld exhaust (unknown)

have the lines for teh FPR and fuel filter made (Monday)

A little bit more cutting where the piping from the air filter to teh compressor goes (this weekend)

Cut the holes in teh frame for the drain lines (this weekend)

Buy the filters and 3 in elbows for the turbos (possibly this weekend)

Possibly buy a set of external wastegates (unknown)

Cut the piping for the lower radiator hose (this weekend)

Put everything back together (as I finish it up)

Tuning and getting it to accept her added psi (who knows)

This is all very new to me so I am just taking my time to do it one step at a time with some steps here and there combined if the correlate to one another or can give me a chance to take a break from a step that I am frustrated with. But all in all once it is done she will be good tilll teh HG blows and I o-ring the bolck and put the TII heads on. But it is snowing alot out here and the roads are horrible so she wont see the streets for some time anyway (unless a clear snow free sunny day comes along) .

 

any updates?

 

Well regressive updates lol. I was not satisfied with the way the magnaflow y is constructed nor the way it forced me to position the piping and all the difficulty it would have caused to place the exhaust piping so I made a new Y that better met my needs and am making some minor adjustments to get it to work out. I also found away to route te stainless steel lower radiator hose.

 

Ok time for a few pics not much new stuff to see I have not had time to work on it lately

a variation of the Y that will replace the Magnaflow

some shots of the revised Y in place

I need a 1.5" 90 deg. bend for teh lower radiator inlet

 

hopefully your fan doesn't melt being that close to the exhaust.. i forgot if you said you were going to wrap the exhaust pipes or not

 

Yeah I am going to bring the downpipe toward the engine about another inch and I do plan to get it and the headers Jet hotted in crome once I am done. I hear it provides better heat protection than exhaust wrap and will have a much nicer look to it. if all else fails I will flip the fan to the ohther side since there is enough room between it and the intercooler even with the oil cooler there which will eventually have cold air ducted to it.

 

Ok I think I am finally satisfied to the point where I am ready to have the front half of the exhaust welded so here comes more of the same, unless you have a keen eye and of course the obvious which is the passenger side is complete

This pic is so you feel you get to see something new

 

Where's the TB and piping?

~Dv8

 

In a box at the moment there location remains unchanged.

 

This build is becoming something of a mess: piping EVERYWHERE!

Glad it's coming along though Telion: keep up the good work!

 

because we have a v6 instead of an inline 6, its gonna be pretty messy when we mount the turbo or turbos up front, the only way to avoid all that mess is to make a rear mount turbo system where the turbo is mounted right after the y merge and then you'll only really see the intake and charge pipes for the turbo, if I ever get some extra money to throw around, that is what ill be doing.

 

OOO really so your going turbo too?... sick, single or twin

 

only way to go is single after the y.

 

wasn't hotlava running twin behind the y... wait that was an x right oops thanks bussinessman.... T u must be getting anxious now..

 

Telion how come you didn't bend the exhaust pipes down imediately on the exhaust part of the turbo and run the driver side pipe towards the passenger side by the crank and not how you did? To me this could have been cleaned up alot more using a few more bends

 

With limited fab experience and a home garage, theres only so much a person can do. I ran into that problem too and I have much more fab experience.
Also just in case, please don't pretend like you've done all your own fab work, because I will never believe you.
Now car2n, that's a fabricator from start to finish.

~Dv8

 

I never claimed to do all my own fabrication though. I just have a good personal fabricator.

I just don't want someone to pay to have something done when it looks like it could be fixed pretty easily. Could have used all steel piping and welded it together with a typical house welder and then had someone replicate all the piping for him in whatever he wants it to be.

Point I was tring to imply is that you go around many performance threads picking things apart. Thats fine granted you earned the right to do so.
You have a nice shiny powder coated engine, I give you that much.
All show and no go. I already know the rebuttle, your just holding out. Somthing tells me you need to find new help because, it doesnt take that long once your already up and running, and turbo running you have claimed.
