I finally did my single conversion. I had a remain engine upgraded, new hurley seals, oil and coolant ports enlarged, and intake and exhaust upgraded. I added all SS lines, FPR, reloated fuel filter to engine K&N billet, Used a whole lot of earles fittings, upgraded all coolant and oil lines to SS, Coolant lines are goodyear with SS mesh overlay, new fittings on the ends of all SS fittings, an XS T04s kit, bored out 1300's, and powder coated alot of stuff almost chrome.

See pictures.

no more rats nest

 

SS lines and FPR

 

looks yummy

 

looks good. looks almost identical to my engine bay. How are you liking the t04s? I love mine

 

I will let you know in 500 miles. If anyone attempt to do this job by themselves it is very time consuming but worth it in the end.

 

ahh, still in break in period. I have a feeeling come 500 miles you'll love it . Also if you havn't already done so, I would put a KN filter on the turbo. If you want, PM me and I'll give you the part number for the one I use, it fits perfectly

 

looks beautiful!!

 

A note on that Apexi blow off valve...

Every few weeks or months, it will stop opening right and your car will sound funny on shifts. The solution is to take it apart and clean the shaft in the middle and then put a tiny film of clean oil on it.

In another few months, you will have to do it again, but it doesn't take more than 10 min anyhow.

Very very nice!!! I wish i could go single now!!

aint that the truth. now you can put the smack down on some si's!!!

 

Very nice. It has to be one of the cleanest single conversions I have seen. It almost looks OEM.

 

Nice job..! Quality work my man...

 

Very Nice work...

Where did you get the Stainless Steel lines and how much do they run?

Also, who did your powder coating?

 

nice job, dude....engine management?

if you say haltech, you get a gold star, ha

PM me when you are ready to sell.....I'm in NC

 

very clean installation, I like it a lot. The only thing I could suggest to you is for you to make that intercooler piping straight from the turbo instead of curved.

 

uh....how?

 

good job!! NICE!!

 

I am in envy. Right now bad things are starting to happen. Lines poping off and ****. I am considering going single this time next year.

 

i would say *shorter*

looks good though. i will have to post some of my pics when i get it done. not quite there yet.
i am going to re-do my fuel system with -10 lines.

 

ok, here is a pic from a week ago. some more has been done since then, but i can not go any further as i m waiting on some parts.
i will have gt35/40, haltech e6k, greddy 3-row(waiting for) and 1600 and 720's. aeromotive A1000 pump...some other things to go along with this monstrosity.


the car starts, but i can not drive yet. trany was still outfor one, and it is obvious why it can not drive yet. :P

 

Thanks for all the compliments. Both Shawnk and I worked very hard to create the monster.

I was originally going to go with Haltech until I saw what a Datalogit can do with a PFC. That changed my mind.

I used 6an lines vs the 10. I you use 10 you will need to buy enought line for all the routing and to replace all the aluminum runners. 10 an is to big for the runners. By the way 10an will require a 1 inch open faced wrench.

I have 10 an oil coolers. A crooked willow upgrade.

The powder coating I did myself. It is very easy I bought it from the Eastwood company, 149.

If anyone have any questions let me know I would be happy to answer. By the way it took two people 2 months to recreate everything.

Another Pic.
