First off the plan is,

This fall build a 408 for boost. And have it done by spring sometime.

Then over the summer get my turbo stuff together.
Plan is to run a s91. At the moment i am low on funds and just wanted to go ahead and do something to futher help my project so decided to move the radiator up.

Plan is to keep ac with setup.

only mod required to ac will be to lengthen high pressure line about seven or eight inches. Bottom line will still reach fine....

The question is judging by pics provided can i fit a s91 in there???

Or 88 be better???

Currently have stock fans but aftermarkets are an option if more room is needed.

I realize the mod is a little dirty and stuff now but no grinding or paint or covering has been done yet.

ill try to post another few pics with measurements for better judgement....

And may try to figure out how to put air dam back in to help cooling...

all opinions will be appreciated.

you going to put it on the left or right side? id try to keep the air damn for cooling.

I originally started making my hotside to keep ac but ended up pulling it for a truck manifold.

mrstepheneades

Seen guys put in battery location. And keep ac somehow. Just not sureyet

Like to do tube headers but may get expensive

That is going to be tough with any puller fans. Also what are you doing with the dp? Is it a 5inch?

mrstepheneades

plan on doing turbo kmember but if gets to complicated may just through it out the side lol

mrstepheneades

seen spal makes pullers only 2" thick....... dont know if they be strong enough though

The thin spals pullers can not keep up with the ac on. It will over heat.

Here an idea I want to try. Run a 5inch dp out the front bumper. Put a boost actuated valve on a large cut out and connect it to a normal 3inch pipe that will hook up to your cat back. When you get into boost it opens and goes out the front bumper,at idle and cruising it comes out the back. Best of both worlds

mrstepheneades

Yeah that be pretty cool

I dont have anything to add towards the OP's question, but a 3" cutout to the back is easy, but you would need a 5" cutout to close the exhaust out the front bumper... How are you thinking to make that work?

I am not being devils advocate for the hell of it, I have been brainstorming to make this idea work, never thought to make it boost actuated, that is cool, what would you use to close the 5"?

I have found a 5" cutout on soem diesel performance site, but I'm pretty sure ive seen pictures of turbo cars melting(bending) the valve on a e-cutout, also, I haven't had great luck with them sealing perfectly, and gives it a leak sound..

good luck. im using 6.0 manis, s91, and its damn close to the water pump, and i had my rad notched... yea well. i had to completely remove it since the turbo was touching the fins, ive got a 3" radiator though...

this was pre removal of rad support...

mrstepheneades

Yea wanna keep ac but if becomes to expensive it will go and ill get pusher fans and move radiator up few more inches. I like that intake. How was fitment on that?

I just finished the turbo kit on this one:

88mm, ac, tubular k, stock radiator position. You should have plenty of room and you can do a 4" downpipe out the back on the drivers side.

Yes you would have to get a 5 inch cut out. Then a vacum actuator,a 5 inch blade,a flange. Its an idea now but possible. Sound performance sells a 4 inch boost activated cut out for about $500 bucks

mrstepheneades

yeah i been watching your build. Just not sure i can pull off the welding of cast to stainless and not have a cracked up mess. Im no pro at fabbing things up as you can see in my radiator job lol. Yours looks awesome though.

Thanks man. Honestly its not hard welding stainless to cast Its actually cast steel and doesn't have the impurities that cast iron does. People think its really hard to weld. Its not, I did it with my little hobart 140 mig welder. Ideally I would have liked to do it with a tig, but the only one I have access to is at my dads 40 miles away so I did the mig. You learn how to fab and weld with experience, take your time and plan thing out before you final weld it. Tack it, if its not right cut the tack and redo it. The radiator mounts don't look bad, you just need some practice. You will get there, just take your time.
