Turning my quest into a dsm.

[FattyBoomBatty]

Here's a test fit of the new manifold:


The fuel rail is made for FWD cars, not RWD, and there are little clearance issues, but with some ingenuity and a little money, I was able to avoid any major problems:


Little test fit of the lower + upper intake and TB, just for fun.


Remember that ingenuity and money thing? Here's my new fuel line. one part USDM, one part AUDM and one part nice dude at a custom hose shop =



You guys might recognize this quickly, it's a '90 CAS I got machined to fit in my head by a gunsmith who used to race boats and he does testing for big gun companies. 5 bucks. Nice guy.




Water neck installed, and fuel lines figured out.


New sensors getting installed.

Throttle cable figured out. It's held in place by a ziptie, I know this.


It's tight in there, hard to get that last injector plug on. Questers will notice that I rotated the throttle cable bend downward so the cable would be going in the right direction for the new TB location. I also switched the heater core hoses, people on SQC told me it might mess up the heater or how it works. But I won't be driving it when it's to cold, and when it's warm, I'll have the windows open. It always blew a little hot air at my feet anyway.

Little AEM 5 bar map sensor action. Thanks DB performance!


Got the fuel rail and vacuum lines setup. That's right my injectors say turbo on them.


The morning after delivery to the warehouse that it now lives in (the basement). My grandparents didn't like it sitting in their valuable empty garage space, so it had to move. Can't blame them I suppose, I'm just flesh and blood.


It's so lonely down here.


I got the upper intake stuck on there with some RTV now, I figure it doesn't really need bolts. I got the pigtails for those two sensors in the picture at a junkyard. 5 bucks each. Kindof a ripoff, but it was worth it, if not for just the sensors, the fun of tromping through a junkyard looking for parts. I also found out that later model lincoln mark 8's are fwd. Silly ford.


This is what air is going to see: Pure death.


More pipes/hoses attatched. I'm excited at this point.

Here it is before I get started on it for the second or third time, I dunno, but when I was using some rtv I had this nasty itch on my side. I thought my finger was clean, but I had to itch and found out that I stained my white polo shirt that's pretty nice. Idiot.



This is so choice right here:


Little blurry here, but the welding is excellent. Shane Laske in Moorhead if anyone is ever in the arear and needs some great welding. He did my intercooler above too.


Here is what the cam angle sensor sees before the lights go out. What with it's one eye and all.


And the last picture for now. Like my garbage can? (at least it's not a garbage can't).

Looking good. Is that warehouse in China?

Yeah, how'd you know? Someday I want to get another quest and leave the intake side stock and just upgrade the turbo. I really think that this project has taken too much money. The amount of research and finding parts and people to modify the parts equals a lot of time and money, and at first I'll really only be able to go for 300 hp. And that's just a guess, but it might do it with the stock intercooler. Anyway, for those wanting the 4g63 in the quest, I really would recommend just changing the stock turbo to a garrett with a decent exhaust housing and the only other mod needed is a maftranslator. It works great and they really rev once you open up the exhaust.
