[jcaron9gt4]

hey guys....so this weekend i officially started my turbo project. After many months of researching and buying parts, me and my friend started on this thing. Ive bought just about everything except an oil pan so far. Lots of help so far from Manny, and i'm sure we'll be calling on him a lot more, as the project goes on ...hope you dont mind manny lol. So we got most of the wiring done this weekend, wiring up the Safc ll and my gauges. Ill try to keep you guys posted as this thing gets more underway...Im at school, and can only come home on the weekends to work on it, so i'm hopin to have this done by the end of April. For now, here's a few pics of the stuff i've got so far...minus the injectors, pipes, manifold, MAP sensor, and oil lines...which are all being delivered by tomorrow or tuesday.


Intercooler...supposed to be 28x5.5x3, but they messed up and sent me one thats about 7 inches tall. W.e, it fits and doesnt look bad, so im keepin it.


Stock 3sgte downpipe, so i can be legal for now


Oil feed line and fittings from stealthmode. $40 shipped for everything you see


-3an fittings from ebay for 2 bucks a peice


255 Supra Walbro fuel pump


Boost, Air/Fuel, and Oil Pressure gauges


Some Couplers and clamps


CT 26...minimal shaft play

hey guys...got ALOT done today . Car still isnt running, but would be if we didnt run out of daylight lol. Next weekend it will def. be running, and should have the exhaust and tuning done by the following week. Only thing thats left to do is connect the coolant lines, oil lines, gap the spark plugs, and add some oil. Everything is on the car, just need to connect it to the turbo. I also have the flange for my Turbo xs type H bov, thats getting welded to my pipes this week. Here's some pics of what was done today.



Turbo and manifold bolted up together


Oil line that i had welded with the fitting


Turbo and partial intercooler tubing mocked up


FINALLY...all the piping is done!!







So as you can see, everything is basically done, except for some simple stuff. I should have some more pics by next weekend of the car complete, and yes, i will post a vid.

see how the clamps are on left where there is one bolt on one side and another bolt on the other? this is how they should be. and then on the right see how they are both on top? this is according to my auto class instructor, but he said it balances it out so you have a better clamp that's less likely to leak.

so, how'd you mount the intercooler?

no T-bolts or hump couplers?

anyway, looking good so far! I can't wait to see it all done!
