some progress coming this week i will post pics. I went to a thinner material on my surge tank (1/8") I am now almost ready to buy my pumps going with 3 bosch 044 pumps. One feed from my tank to two loacted in my surge tank.... now i came across this and wondered if anyone has heard of this pump....

Bosch 044 Super Output 650bhp Inline Pump

it seems to be a high output 044... not sure how much more but it sounds considerable.

Wheels are 17 x 10 with a +18 offset on all 4 corners. I dont know the tire size off the top of my head but i think they are 245 front and 285 rear. I may be changing wheels to fit a 315+ in the rear. not sure yet

thanks man! it is not easy to make those hardlines lol but the end result is priceless

no man thank you! you helped out a bunch on the harness and got me heading in the right direction

Less than optimal locations for a flow disruption like that, but it looks real nice.

I put it there thinking more of turbo health, the throttle closes... What's the first point to build pressure? Right at the TB you release the pressure there you don't get back surge to your compressor. I'm not worried about flow right here it's more important In the manifold as it still has a lot to travel before being smoothed out to the ports.

Just ordered 2 044 Bosch pumps
Dei fire wire wrap
Dei gold barrier tape.
New materials for IC plumbing

I'm out of town for the week so should have a few gifts when I get home

It's a powder coat called super grip black. I got it this way. I was either going to match the UIM or strip it and ceramic coat it and put the dei gold on the turbo side of the LIM.

Just some random updates... Noting big or special yet but getting there

It's getting empty in the bay the new turbo will fill it up nicely soon!

So as a random poll for the subbed people or whoever reads this... Abs stay or delete? It's a big cluster F in the corner up there but at the same time it sure is nice on the track....

Yeah one thing I don't like about it is it "walks" my car when I get on it hard it feels weird... Lol so one for delete it... Keep the votes coming thanks for the input man!

3rdgensleeper

iTrader: (10)

To polish, ceramic, or powder coat... And what color.... The choices are killing me lol

3rdgensleeper

iTrader: (10)

Mostly blue and silver with some black in there. And some gold from the DEI gold wrap ... Why would you say no for the ceramic?

Thanks man!

So in my quest to eliminate all rubber lines I have came to the brake booster check valve line. I found a -6AN check valve make by aeromotive. Has one one tried this? Does anyone see a potential problem.

3rdgensleeper

iTrader: (10)

Cool thanks for the input man I was thinking the same thing with not wanting to look like every other UIM being polished. I did like what crispy has done with his it looks awesome. I might even do a hydro dip, as it doesn't get too hot.

Here is the link to the check valve I found to eliminate the brake booster rubber line. Again if anyone sees an issue with eliminating the rubber line with the built in check valve for this AN check valve feel free to chime in

Thanks again to all! Keeps me motivated on finishing this beast

SOOOO its been a little while and i think i need to update a little more.... i was going to wait till more was complete but i have been working on Shawns car and next week i travel so i have not been able to really get a lot done as i would like to have. Buuuuuut here is what has changed....

First up kind of useless but i got board with a spare UIM of mine and did some... well weight reduction? lol



I then welded all holes i wasn't using and got rid of all vacuum line ports, Taped them for AN fittings and ceramic coated the UIM for now until i just powder coat it



I also decided to use some heat shielding on the underside of the UIM



Then some nice fuel rails came in so i started my hard line work









then when i got bored doing that i started on my turbo manifold... pretty close to starting back purge and welding it up....
