Haha thanks man! Well sadly there is a change of plans after rethinking the fuel pumps.... I need one large pump to have enough volume so I will be going with a aeromotive pro series pump. And yes I have a check valve just up stream of the surge tank, the factory check valves on the 044s seem restrictive and read on a Vett forum it actually improved flow considerably. The routing of the lines was overkill for sure but it looks bad *** I will also have a cooler inline just haven't decided on return or feed.

If I remember correctly you were the one that got me hooked on hard lines ... So thank you sir! Your hard line work is epic I hope when I'm done they look as nice as yours

 

thanks for the compliment.

What are your power goals? The dual 044's are proven to make 800WHP on E98

 

I'm trying to break the 800 mark, basically I have built this car ground up in my garage. I just think it would be cool to say I built a 850+ car outta my garage

 

Lookin good!

 

Thanks buddy! Working on turbo manifold today/night so stay tuned for possible pics lol

 

Well, good luck. I am excited to see this car running.

 

No I haven't started a build thread yet. I've built up one single turbo fd several years ago so I'm honestly not that interested in getting a thread going while I'm under construction so to speak. Been there, done that.
I am taking a **** ton of photos ( old habits die hard) and I will throw up a thread when I'm in the home stretch of the build. It makes it more interesting for the readers when thy can blow through a whole thread, start to finish in one sit with lots of pictures and little chatter.

I'm taking a entirely different route this go round as I'm essentially restoring a 144k 93 touring. It's not a back to original restore but it is a total year down and rebuild. I've got the car almost total stripped, minus the interior at this point. Body work is 85% done and I waiting on TCP global to deliver the remaining paint supplies before I start shooting primer. I've stock piled crap loads of parts and it will go quick once I get the paint done. Doing the entire job solo...

 

I like this idea and will steal it. but I will make it out of one continuous tube

 

I actually routed it wrong :P and with too small a tube it needs to be at least 1/2" and go to a catch can:-/ lol sooooo I will be making it out of one line hopefully. If the 1/2" stainless tube gods are on my side for bending.

 

Really clean work my hats off to you.

 

thanks man! the motor will be pulled in the next week or two to have a fresh rebuild more hardline work and finishing up that turbo manifold

 

The fuel lines are beautiful. Great work. I have some 3/8" stainless here at work and I can flare ends but I'm too lazy. You're giving me some good motivation though.

 

Thanks man!

The Hardlines take a lot of time and motivation... and beer. the flare ends have to he 37* flares to mate up with AN fittings just for you to keep that in mind. If you have those flares and the materials... its worth the end result.

 

Yeah I use jic fittings which are the same thread and 37 degree taper as the an fittings.

What did you paint the elbow and uim with. I like it a lot.

 

Nice yeah that will work then !

It's a ceramic coating , you can get it from cerakote

 

I am thinking about getting that hood.

 

It's a good hood, vents under hood temps well. I was thinking of going a different direction than the one I currently have on it but I haven't decided yet, you might see it up for sale In the classifieds section soon lol

 

Okay time to restart this thread! It's been a while and not much has been done aside from engine tear down and a few other odds and ends. I was traveling non stop for work for a good while there.

Goal for the next few months-

Build motor
Finish turbo manifold
Find oil cooler set up
Figure out electric water pump set up.

** find new half shaft for rear.... Anyone have one?

Finish interior.


Let's get thing thing rolling and breaking some adaptronic HP records!!!

 

Here is the start of an awesome build! I think we should all give him **** for wearing a corvette shirt!! lol

 

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

 

Very good way to look at it lol

 

Just a little teaser... Dry fitted my new dash from bubble tech.

Also got my new race technology dash from Turblown that will interface with my adaptronic

 

That's sick man!

 

Thanks for showing everyone what my dash will look like soon! looks good bud!

 

Thanks bud! I am seat shopping now lol

Shawn stop copying me :P lol jk buy one and go full Racecar!
