Last years project wasn't delivering much, I rebuilt my twins succesfully, ported the wastegate and converted to full non-seq. mode getting rid of lots of hoses and solenoids, air pump etc..., but I got tired of the lagginess of the non-seq. setup so I decided to go single since my beatifull wife gave me one of the best Valentines gifts a man can get, a dual ball bearing RX6B kit.

Once I got the kit, I took of the compressor housing and polished it, now since I never polished before the job is not the best ever but is pretty acceptable, see pics below.

Since I started polishing I thought some more sh*t under the hood can use the bling-bling factor the turbo got, so I decided ti polish more stuff like:
UIM, TB, Alt., FMIC piping, AST, Tork brace etc...

Also I'm gonna send all the pulleys to Powder coat to a guy here in the forum (Nappy94), btw I got a UR p/s pulley from optionimports.com for $101.15 which most places sell it for $149.00+ .

I also made a FMIC Chiller hoop from a 3/8 brass tube, which is gonna be connected to the winshield washer fluid bottle to spray water to the IC at the same time as the water/alc injection comes online @ 10 psi, so the IC chiller will be connected on the same relay.

Within this project I'm throwing in a new 255 walbro fuel pump and relocating the fuel filter on the engine bay for easyer future access, someone tell me if this is bad to do & why ???

OK nuff said, check out some of the pics I already took.

OK, here are some more pics,
IC chiller, size 22 X 4-1/4, btw I shaped it all by hand!



on this pic you can see the tiny little holes I made on the tube/pipe in criss-cross pattern.


Painted w/high heat silver (all I had at the moment) when it chips I'll get some better paint for it.

UIM

I'm not to happy w/the uim how it came out and I'm not going to do it again, took me 2 damn days to do it, my neck was stiff for 3 days after...

What size Co2 bottle are you using and how long does it last?

TwinTurbo93

No Co2, I will be using water from the windshield washer bottle, I don't want to go that advanced, just water simple... more detailed in the first post /\ up /\

I tried the water thing man, it doesnt work that graet. It makes a big mess tho. Use CO2


Good job on the polishing. I tried polishing for my first time whei a 6" pipe. It took forever, and I dont want to do it again.

You have alot of patience polishing the UIM

TwinTurbo93

Thanks

I'm gonna try water for now and than in future might consider Co2, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, polishing is a pain the ***, once I'm done with it, will never polish again.

Now I'm in the process of doing the 2 hardest parts, alt & TB

TwinTurbo93

Who knows how it's gonna look after!



That's all the pics I got for now, more to come soon .

Just for ***** and giggles, do you mind showing how the airpump might fit with that single turbo kit. I'm curious to see.

TwinTurbo93

As a matter of fact my air pump is long gone, last years project.




Thanks, I sure will, my plan is to finish by the end of this month, will see.
