lol its all good yeah I will possibly put together a semi kit with headers that have improved angles than the ones that I have, the necessary hoselines, and all teh small stuff needed for the build then leave it up to the buyer to get what ever stuf they want like intercooler, turbos, BOV(s) and stuff like that so you can build according to your budget. And I am always available to say what did and did not work for me for those who are in teh midst of a build via PM.

On a side note I decided yo get the T off the Oil pressure sender ready to go. No teflon tape yet just working through the needed parts.

Did you browse the last 40 pages or so at all?:thumbsup: Hes basically built it in front of our eyes. There are a lot of BS posts by the rest of us in between but the whole project from start to finish is here.

oh ok, so are you telling me that from this 40 page post, that you could replicate what hes done? So let me get this straight, you know the angles of the piping as well as teh lengths and what order the angles go and lengths go in as well as the correct clocking of the turbos to go along with this piping in order to achieve what hes done?

I mean sure i can look at this thread and get an idea of what i need to do to peice together a turbo kit. BUT, I could do that without looking at this thread with enough time on my own!

What i wanted to know is telion going to market a kit for us to purchase. A kit is something that is prefabricated and ready to install for someone with some mechanical ability. A kit includes all necessary hardware as well as prefabricated tubing bends, etc to complete the installation successfully and of course telion would be expected to make profit off of these kits!

I wouldnt be asking this for telion except for the fact that he sells computer program chips for users to buy. So, with this knowlegde, its not too far fetched in my mind that this guy market a turbo kit for users to buy seeing as he has/ is developing one just as he has developed a fuel/ignition program for our motors.

He says on like the first page his goal is a kit he can provide.

I wanna go back to the construction of the down pipe for a minute because as I think through the increased likely hood of going to a larger set of turbos I really don't wanna scrap the down pipe, just thoughts.

yeah get one of those mesh flex things. I guess thats what you were talking about before? Id never seen one since im not really into the aftermarket scene, and had thought you were talking about those shitty $10 flexie pipes they sell at autozone..:rofl:

If you decide to go bigger i got first dibs on buying one of the two you get rid of!!

Well then why the fuck couldnt this response have been your first response to my comment. I missed that part in the thread on the first page.

I am thinking thowing in a set of these just before the bend that hits the Y-pipe

That might be a good place to make some flanges and allow the exhaust side to be more-easily broken down for changes later.

Yeah i think you should definitely go with those. I just saw them recently and thought you were talking about those 3 inch flexie pipes.

Well then why the fuck couldnt this response have been your first response to my comment. I missed that part in the thread on the first page.

because i thought you saw that part. Your first post was asking about doing it on your own, which naturally, whould still require a ton of work on your part!

 

[Telion]

Well I have already decided and purchased the flanges to break it down at the single side of the Y, but I like where your heads at.

 

[Telion]

Ok it took awhile to make them but I am just about done with the oil feed lines I still need to decide and buy the connectors that will run from the sending units T to the T to the turbos but figuring out how to get these PIA SS lines to come together was a huge step in the right direction! I guess I should add that the oil pressure sending unit is the same threading as the turbos which was 1/8" threading.

 

[Telion]

I have purchased the last of the items I will need to oil the turbo lines, the flex piping and a couple of Thermo-tec turbo blankets. This should help progress the project.

 

[Telion]

Not too much progress on this today but I have decided to not relocate the hoses for teh VSS, and teh power steering, as the only hose that was going to pose to be an issue was the power steering hose so instead I decided to let my local hose hydraulics company rob me and make a hose that was longer, has compression fittings on it (why is metric so much more) and a fire protection sleeve. This way I can move it out of the way of the exhaust and keep it cool under the additional heat in that area. And a side benefit is if I decide to change it or make it longer it just screws right off

I was also thinking that the drain hoses were not exactly what I wanted so I did decide to bid on (and win) a set of stainless steel 10AN hoses that better suit the desire for this build.

The top hose might find its way back on Ebay lol.

Posting this pic out of boredum, there will come a time where she will once again resemble my sig. Consider this the before pic.

 

[Dethred]

SEXY!!

 

[Telion]

Not much to report today as I had to work from 8am to 8pm but the Turbo blankets did come in today. I know this question pops up every 10 pages or so. They are kind of a build your own blanket type deal from Thermo-Tec

 

[Vic Cardenas]

What else is left before she's fired up?

Do you have the downpipes ready for me?

man every time i open this thread my heart starts pumpin fast:bowdown:

 

[Telion]

Before a test fire, I just need to complete the welding and run through the turbos. Well and put the engine back in

 

[Telion]

Ok anyone that has to pull there engine and is remotely considering doing a turbo setup plumb the connectors to the oil pan for the drain line. Removing the oil pan was a bit more of a chore than I expected and I would have been very upset with myself had I decided to drop the engine back in the car then attempt to remove the pan. the lines are mapped out now but I still need to JB Weld the connectors to the pan (contored surface so I wanna get it air tight) and then this part should be done. I am still waiting on my flexpipe so that is a bit of a hold up hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Lol whoops, disregard the two hoses laying across the intake mainfold they're just sitting there.

I know it doesn't look like it but there is still room for the Power Steering pump.

And yes like my entire garage, the heart of this beast is very very dirty. I am hoping once she is in and complete I can start pulling things off to get powdercoated and jet-hotted but if I were to do this now everything would be chipped to hell.
