If he decides to actually go and make it! :D

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

His car is going to the track, with or without him. :)

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Shane is right. And yea, I want to run a filter, perferrably an intake. I like kevin's design on his, and brandon's, and since the area near the pass front headlight area is all empty, it will fit there. I just gotta get around this upper rad hose..

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

70.3 doesn't normally round up to 71 unless that's not the 4294. ;)

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

ya, ya ya.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Get to work already.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Coppersprayed the gasket, slapped the manifold and turbo on for realz now. Modified the oil return, and attached teh 45 deg. fitting to the 5 foot piece of -12 brent gave me. I will wait till I finish the oil pan end, once I know for sure the way it's routed now is the way it will be, since I want the lower ic pipe, wg, and exhaust done first. Now, just playing the waiting game.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

That sounds like a good idea. Surely but slowly it seems, you get an appt. with JDM john to get the pipes done?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I have sent him a pm. Waiting to hear back.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

hurry the eff up already.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I am trying!! When's your trans due back?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

man this thread is never ending! Seriously there isn't even an ending??? wtf is taking so long? Updates!!!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Whats with the dented pipe welded to the flange? Looks kinda restrictive???

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

bump for updates?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Hes too busy partying instead of working on his car like he should!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Needs a v-band flange that I believe was warped. Once he gets that its on like donkey kong.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Updates..hm..Well, JDM John came over to mock up all the piping for the lower ic, wg, and exhaust. Clear packing tape, and some marker marks, and all was good to weld, then we drove back to his place up in MG, so I could drool over his galant, and watch all the welding go down. I also mounted my oil cooler, finished the timing cover side/motor mount, cut a bit of the hood "skeleton" brace out so it could clear the turbo (don't worry, no holes in the hood, so when it's shut you'll never know the difference) and then was trying to rush to get it done at 6:04 am the other morning for the boost event at MAP, but something went wrong, and warped, and I snapped a clamp. Fail. Either way, I'm working on getting it resolved so I can hear this stupid thing run again..

Bored:

Mad JDM angle cut yo!

Definatly 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. More shit to cram then ever. I also needed to take apart the WG, and "clock" the bottom port housing, so the vaccuum line running to it was outta the way. Soon people, soon..

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Sucks about the warpage, good to see progress though!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Is that a 3 inch DP?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Yessum. I think, right?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

What you should be asking is "Is that 3" DP going to a side exit exhaust or very short exhaust?"

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Yes it's a 3" pipe, remember, it's the same exhaust housing as was on my 6776 last year-this is NOT an off-the-shelf turbo people. Running anything bigger really isn't needed, especially since what you see in that pic, IS the whole exhaust.

Drove up to John's today to get the warpage fixed, and the clamp I broke "rebuilt" Thanks again to ya John for all the help, and late LATE night the other night. Just as I told others at the Dyno day yesterday, the car WOULD be running today, and as of about 30 mins ago, she's alive, without too much of an issue. :)

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Sweeet!!! You have enough money leftover for a tune now?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Gonna Start saving up for that soon.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Story of your life...

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Nice, now drive it around and get a tune before summers over. :)

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Go swifty go!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I call BS, this demands video proof.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I was going to make a video, but as of right now, the oil cooler was mounted were the bumper mounted, so now I need to figure out, and make/weld a bracket or something that will tuck it up outta the way.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

^lol. Forgot a bumper has to go when u working without it?

Congrats man. Maybe I can get a ride when I get back?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Are you going to race this thing this year?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I didn't forget, just didn't think it would stick out that far.

Nate, who knows. I know you'd beat me anyway, so no big deal. I just do it for me. ;)

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Congrats swifty, now enjoy this thing!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Did you decide on a new turbo yet?

Also wtf at your exhaust, or lack of it...

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

+1

And get that thing tuned! :D

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

How bout some paint eh?

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Amazing he hasn't received a pile of tickets. He hasn't had one for a while, tho.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

Join the Maaco Mafia!!!!!

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

I plan on joining the maaco mafia, actually. Or, I got a few people in mind. I REALLY want to paint it this year, but we shall see what funds are allowing for it.

Exhaust most of last year I didn't even get hassled. For now, I'm not running one, as the old exhaust I had wasn't cutting it. Kept hitting the rear diff, and shit, so I gotta sort all that out. For now, open dump pointed at the ground really isn't THAT loud..just don't drive like a jackass and do pulls EVERYWHERE (it's hard not to!) and you'll be ok. :)

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
 

We don't need to race I'm talking like map event or at midgay?
