Steve's Painfully Slow Turbo Install

[SSchmi5519]

Shit, I'm lazy. Not much progress lately because of the rain. It's been pouring here.

Anyway, some stuff is rolling in. Got some pics of the ATS intercooler boost tubes and ATS's 4" downpipe, along with a couple of Rick's pedestal.

As soon as it dries up i'll get out there and get that drivers side up-pipe off! :thumb:

Heres the pics.

Ahhhhh. Lil upgrade???

Need me to come down there and help Steve?:rofl: I can almost fit my head behind the firewall and motor

Your tie rod angles are scary! :scare:

You bet!

Yea you can just hangout in my motor, maybe i'll toss a tool or a sandwich in there every once in a while! :rofl:

Your tie rod angles are scary! :scare:

Yes they are!

Haha thats the cognito 7-9 cranked all the way up.

I'm now running it with the bolts out, so it looks like a 4" lift but with flat cv's.

Stocker is out. Y-bridge is nestled under some hard lines and was being a pain. Waiting on oil lines.

Heres a pic of the little guy thats going on:

I had to cut my down pipe were it is welded to ever get it to go up to the turbo then weld it back together and I couldnt get my trans dipstick back in the same place either because there wasnt enough room between the cab and the down pipe

 

[SSchmi5519]

Did you try shoving it down from the top?

 

[wes06dmax]

Not enough room

 

[SSchmi5519]

Oil lines are here...I guess i should get out there instead of sitting on my ass...:baby:

 

[SSchmi5519]

Measuring up the length for the drain is going to be a PITA. No room for error with the braided hose. Sure does look nice though.

Install should be complete within the next few days.

there should be enough room to stuff the downpipe in there if you unbolt the trans crossmember and jack the engine/trans up and down to get it to fit in there...thats what i did anyways

You keeping that thing tucked under the covers with you.?..

You keeping that thing tucked under the covers with you.?..

I would!:Charger:

 

[SSchmi5519]

Zing! lol

But on a more serious note, the drain setup i had isnt going to work. I've cut the tube off of the stock drain and am going to weld a bung onto it to make the drain setup work. Talk about a PITA.

 

[Turbotug]

Have you tried to get the one that is used in the HTT/BD kit?

 

[SSchmi5519]

Dont they just give you an extension block to re-use the stock drain?

 

[hondarider552]

nope, mine came with a whole new drain tube.

 

[SSchmi5519]

Well shiot. Idk what im gonna do.

I'll try to weld a bung to the stock drain first. Should come out nice if i can get the welder set right.
