Nice job dude! Seems like a lot of work to erase someone else's work to rice it out...

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Oil return for the Turbo? Looks way too long and narrow.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

True. looks like about a -4, I run a -10 on mine.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Keep up the good work!

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Yes, that is the oil return for the turbo. That picture is just a mock up of how it looks pieced together. Haven't had a chance to cut it up to the right size.

It's a -10 size. The fittings are very huge compare to regular red/blue or shadow series.

This needs an update. Here's what I've been working on.

Parts that I've been gathering up.

I've decided to only run Russel Proclassic because they are easier to work with. Oil cooler lines

Re: Spyder in the making
 

SIck! looking good. I know how you feel when the motor and tranny are in :)

Re: Spyder in the making
 

This thing is looking damn nice!

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Damn! Great work! That has come a long way!

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Is that wrinkle black on the VC?

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Thanks guys! Yes that is wrinkle black on the valve cover. I've always had a thing for wrinkle valve covers. I've got like 4 other spare valve covers. 1 is wrinkle red, 1 is black, and other 2 are stock colors. No more wrinkles for me but I do want a shaved polished one, white one, gold one, and a purple one.

Hopefully sometime within the 2 weeks I'll have the wiring all done. I still have to order an OMNI MAP sensor, GM IAT sensor with pigtails, and a few little parts before I can start her up. I can't wait til that day.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

What is your plan for the wiring?

Engine bay looks really good.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

get rid of that 1g intake manifold ;)

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Sorry, I've been too busy to update this. It's almost there. Just gotta find the small errors before start up. I wish I have money for JMF drag intake manifold and a purple Tial BOV. And then a top mount turbo setup with built trans. Maybe next year's tax return.

I will eventually switch over to speed density once I get that bung welded onto my intercooler piping. And the wires hanging out there are for temporary until I get some nice sleeves.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

*thumbs up*

engine bay looks friggin' spotless!! I like the wrinkled valve cover.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

That is one DAMN clean engine bay. Props dude.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Looking good as usual! Give me a call before the first start up!

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Any updates dude?

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Guess I should update. The car itself is just sitting in the garage until it's warmer out. I got her started up a few times last fall. Picked up some RPF1's to be like everyone else. They are stupid light. Haven't really done anything this winter but collect some parts. Right now I'm still trying to get a catch can setup. Also looking for a sheet metal intake manifold. I need to get my intercooler pipe welded for the Tial flange bov and IAT sensor. Trying to get rid of the blue silicone coupler and getting all black. I've got that broken bolt on the lower control arm that I still need to remove. Anyone have any tips? Anyways here are pictures.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

That thing is lookin tits dude. If you have a 1g head, I still have's John's SMIM that would be pretty kick ass on that setup also. What turbo is that anyways? I noticed it was a Schwitzer/Borg Warner
