Twin turbo upgrades
Time for some winter changes.
-Custom turbo cam from Martin
-Better sized turbos, Turbonetics 6665's
-Install manual rack and pinion
-AFR 205's
-Viking rear DA shocks
-10an fittings on valve covers for crankcase evac
I took the heads off in the engine bay and ended up making a motor lift plate out of 1/4 stainless steel plate. That reminded me that I should buy a plasma cutter going through all the sawzall blades that I did. I installed the new cam, heads and yella terra rockers. I also got the old rack out and the new flaming river manual rack installed. I welded the -10 fittings on the valve covers and then powder coated them with summit racing silver vein powder.

If you're talking about on the left side of the radiator fitting, that's just a camera trick. I saw that too and went back and there isn't anything there.
That's why I posted the pic straight from the bottom. The placement of the fitting is in the radius, so any camera angle makes it appear warped. I checked them with a straight edge and they are both straight.
I'm not great at welding, but I can do it myself. The aluminum would have turned out better if I could crank up the heat, but since I'm having to use the dryer plug in the rental house instead of a dedicated breaker. It is what it is. 115 amps for about 20 seconds, anything longer than that pops it.

I got some more done. Got the cold pipes all buttoned up, nitrous hooked up, all my vacuum lines hooked up, and filled the motor with coolant and oil. I'm waiting on the 10 an 90*'s, a tensioner pulley so I can get a new belt, and I have to go get one more coolant crossover gasket today. I have to cut the passenger side wastegate dump so it doesn't hit the new rack.
I'm not too worried about the hoses being close to the turbo since the blanket is on there. You can rest your hand on this particular one after a run. I'm still going to get some heat shield wrap to throw on them just because.

I like the position of the turbos. Don't know how you got both down pipes to fit & run under the manifolds. What flange did you use to mate the manifold to the turbos?
