i don't even know what it is.

 

Get that **** running already ... I suspect you can get that turbo part from, A-spec, the turbo OEM, or try ATP. Lots of places to get those parts.

 

Trust me I want it done faster than anyone, but parts and shipping is killing my plans

Also that 400 dollar water pump is putting a hurt in the pocket book

 

It's bonus time at work, no excuses anymore.

 

Yea you would be the only one to no this

Hay what building are you in overthere. < Just PM me

 

Has it been more than a day from the last pictures.....No way O well here is the updates

A few things before anyone posts, I have a oil thermostat coming, also a huge front mount on the way. But i will be running a little wile without a thermostat. Like to start it and idle, no driving really untill i get one

O and one more thing, I HATE AN FITTINGS

 

Also this was my first test fit of my front.. There will be a little work but it was pretty close.

 

Call me before you get that front bumper put on so I can come over and see the oil coolers and FMIC installed.

 

awwww damn, this porject is coming along :-)

 

If all of the parts come in when they show to then Friday evening i will be trying to install it for good on Friday afternoon

I work days on Friday, i am off at the moment tues wed thrus

You have anything to say at the moment

 

well here is another update, my intercooler and 100 bucks worth of NPG-R Coolant will be here today, IE it is 4:45AM

I built my alt relocation braket, and started to install some of the wiring and coils.

There was one thing that i didnt no before, well i just didnt look before. The Alt/Water belt is smaller than the P/S-A/C belt. So i had to use a GM Alt pulley that was the same size belt. The only problem is that the pulley is a little bigger

Stock 2 1/16
GM 2 5/16
The main Pulley is 4 3/8

Anyone good at math, find out what the alt will spin at redline with the stock one and the GM one.

The belt almost fits also

Well you will see in the pics whats new.

 

how much did you change the size of the pully?

 

I changed it 4/16 of a inch bigger

 

It's just an 11% reduction in alt speed assuming your main pulley is stock.

 

But even 11% , dosent that just mean youll see amperage climb a little later in rpm range . alt is still going to put out peak amps near 4-or5 rpm then theres usually little climb after?

 

Yea i did the math later, I think it will be ok.

I was a little worried about the extra load from the Water pump and Fans on most of the time, even at idle.

Good thing i am not into the loud radios and subs


Anyways i got my intercooler in and did some test fitments to find the location it needs to be
It really looks good

The piping is going to fall into place, it is scary how good everything is coming together.

Here is a side shot


Here is a Front Shot


I bet you are wondering where the piping is going to be going, Frist the piping in the picture is not going to be used. It was just something I had laying around. Waiting on my intercooler piping to come in.







There is a spot that is perfect for the 2 1/2 piping to fit into the bumper without hitting the turn lights


Some shots with the nose on

 

Now where is the Rad going to go, well it will fit in the stock location but i want just a little more air flow so i am going to move it up just a little. I am going to redo my alum undertray to fit with the new noise.












Also i started to work on my DP, This is just some ideas that i am working on. Like i said WORK IN PROGRESS







IT is starting to look really mean in the front with all this

 

Yep, that % underrive is a non issue. Even if the water pump draws some high current Chuck can simply adjust the idle up a bit, and his motor porting may like a higher idle anyway.

 

I didnt even thing about the idle, my motor is proably going to have a 1400-1700 Idle

 

i know I'm not a member of the south forum, but i am very curious about the intercooler piping and where it is going to go. i am working on a front mount at the moment and still haven't decided where to run the pipes. looks good!

 

I will/should have the piping done tonight or early in the morning, check back tomarrow for more pictures

 

Did that piping take you out? Updates ...

 

No the D@M call out list

Anyways i have the piping about 90% done, just waiting on my Greddy Elbow to show up.

I have been working on my EWP adapter plate so i can get my sensors in there.
Well i had a small problem trying to get the meziere WP336 water pump, so i had to upgrade to the Stewarts EMP. The meziere one is on backorder from summit untill the 3-27-07 and a few other places that i order things are also waiting for more to come in. The stewarts is good also, 55gpm and such..... I really like that it is a brushless motor, one of my RC cars has a brushless motor and they are really torque'e and powerfull and the best part last for allmost ever. Stewarts says they will last 10,000+

Also started to weld the dp

THE CAR WILL BE STARTED WED.........

I will post pics in a bit

 

WELL HERE THEY ARE......................

Ok got the piping in, just waiting on the greddy elbow

I finished my EWP adapter plate

Also i will be using the AST from my last setup for the fill and air bleeding.

Also the Couplers in these photos are the ones that can with the kit, everthing will be changed to good stuff before i start boosting it, also everthing will get T clamps

Enjoy

 

Chuck,

What size is that IC piping?
