maybe its just the angle, but that intercooler doesn't look like its going to fit very easily under the bumper? Looks tits so far man. When I go turbo, I'm def thinking about a similar turbo mounting. Maybe a little higher in the bay so I can use an airfilter without it sticking out the front bumper though. Those long straight runners should really help spool

I wanted to tuck the turbo back also, but I couldn't get it to fit with the 4" downpipe. I already have short radius elbows and it's so huge I had to space it out pretty far from the block, and I still might have to do a couple pie cuts. The bumper fits...barely.

Should spool ok, not that I really care too much. I have a 1.00 and a 1.25 a/r to choose from. I am going to go with whatever gives me the biggest powerband, I suspect that will be the 1.25 since I can rev it up to 11kish.

Don't worry about that, I hear UI does bumper modifications

Holy Cooler coree. I'm pretty sure you are going to have issues getting the bumper on without some majorrrrrr cutting . (but i sould be wrong). Time will tell!!

In for results!!

narfdanarf · « **Reply #125 on:** April 26, 2010, 01:54:19 PM »

I made sure it would fit, that's why the inlet endtank is so small I had to move the intercooler 3" closer to the turbo so I could even get a outlet endtank on with the stock front bumper. The em1 bumper is much bigger than a eg bumper. I'm wasn't about to run one of those fiberglass widebooty fronts on my streetcar.

Pootie · « **Reply #126 on:** April 26, 2010, 03:59:42 PM »

are you going "backdoor" on the Cold side?

narfdanarf · « **Reply #127 on:** April 26, 2010, 05:13:25 PM »

No. I wanted to, but the bumper is in the way can't stick the endtank out far enough to clear the frame rail, so I'm going to weld a u-bend onto the end then go in front of the passenger tire and up over the front of the transmission.

Going to mount my ignition over the passenger frame rail where the standard hole is that everyone else runs their intercooler pipe through.

How ate you looking to make the meet son?

As long as my goddamn mounts get here by saturday, my tuning appointment is monday IE in 5 days. So looking pretty good. Now way I can get get tuned on stock mounts, my turbo is mounted to the driver's side frame rail.

Oh and thanks for all the positive comments guys. Hopefully it's not blown up by the time the dyno day rolls around, so you can check it out in person.

mounts just showed up. If anyone wants to stop by this weekend, i'm going to be working on it nonstop to get it ready for monday.

really digging the build man. Send me a plane ticket and i will at your door by 5am with a couple 6 packs of heineken and redbull

narfdanarf · « **Reply #138 on:** May 02, 2010, 04:56:06 PM »

I don't have any money left or you'd have a plane ticket...

Almost done, just have to finish up manifold, run the fuel lines and button up some small shit. I am not sure if I'll be done for my tuning appointment tomorrow or not though. Not looking good right now.

Pics of downpipe/exhaust I just finished.(minus wideband bung)

sexy welds... Put that shit in overdrive and you will get it done by morning

narfdanarf · « **Reply #141 on:** May 03, 2010, 12:05:02 AM »

starting to get too tired, I'm saying fuck it. I don't want to start messing stuff up because i'm tired and in a hurry just to meet a make believe deadline. I'm sure James will be upset, but shit happens...if I'd have got my parts on time, it probably wouldn't have been an issue.

malichite · « **Reply #142 on:** May 05, 2010, 01:08:09 PM »

Been busy as fuck last couple of weeks and havn't checked in. Shit's lookin good!

evo_lucian · « **Reply #143 on:** May 05, 2010, 03:36:01 PM »

Update !!! Did you get it finished yet ?

glustic · « **Reply #144 on:** May 05, 2010, 11:46:00 PM »

Holy fuck your welds look good. How much would you charge for a ram horn mani?

narfdanarf · « **Reply #145 on:** May 06, 2010, 02:04:42 PM »

Haha thanks, but I am not gonna weld anything like that for someone else. I am not comfortable having shit out there that could crack and be associated to me, so I only do fab for very close friends or I do it for free, not to mention I don't have a lot of time so who knows if you'd ever actually see it. I call it "stopping the hotrex before it starts". Plus those welds aren't actually any good...I figured since the downpipe was so easy to do and nothing but looks really I just fuse welded it.

runsfromdacops · « **Reply #146 on:** May 06, 2010, 02:12:59 PM »

sick welds but i think my gf can out do you

narfdanarf · « **Reply #147 on:** May 06, 2010, 02:51:03 PM »

more thank likely...I only weld 2 times/year typically which are my qualification welds so I can stay a qualified a nuclear welder, even though I will never in my life weld anything nuclear related.

Car is about done, I just dropped it off at Speedfactory, I am off vacation now, so they are finishing up some of the small things like fuel pump wiring and ignition wiring and dumptubes because I don't have any time now that I'm back to work. Here are a few of the more finished type pics I'll post better ones once I get the car back and get it all cleaned up.

Looks GREAT man... Ricky can weld like a MOFO... :yes:
