Subscribed, im putting together the parts to do this on mine right now so ill be watching yours, i have the huron twin kit but havent purchased the turbos will be doing a cam swap, rods and pistons keeping my current heads.
Figured I'd do an update, been over a month since my last set of photos. I've gotten a lot done, and getting very close to being ready for startup. My phone seems to have deleted a few of my photos as well, so I thought I'd try to get as many uploaded as possible.
Ended up deciding to media blast the heads after all. They were super gunked up; lots of sludge build up all throughout.
Power steering lines were not coming off the reservoir at all; ended up having to take a cutting wheel to them. New ones look great though!
Motor mounts installed, what a PITA. Also got my pan tapped, and welded. Was just verifying the threading here.
Don't have any photos of the lifters or trays, but I got them in. Also go the springs in the heads, new valve stem seals, intake manifold gaskets, injectors on rails, and mounted to the intake. Mounted the heads with the new head studs, and torqued down. Then mounted the intake and torqued.
Started bolting up the hotside. Intake manifolds on with new gaskets and bolts, and working on fitting the crossover pipe.
Crossover pipe on and fitted up.
Turbo mounted, working on clocking. Due to clearance, and turbo size, it was a real pain to get it bolted down, but with a combination of a couple of different bolt sizes, I got it on ok.
Great built, I will be using this as a reference, I am gathering all the parts to complete my huron speed kit. Thanks for all the pictures, very good details
I'm about to ask a stupid question or it could be. Seems like no one runs a front bumper support on these cars once the turbo stuff is hooked up unless I plain don't know what one looks like and I'm not seeing it.
Is this is true?
If it's is that is one less thing I don't have to buy.
I'm starting to think that's the running theme. Now that I'm really paying attention I don't see anyone running one to be honest. I feel stupid for looking for one
Few updating pics. Ended up accidentally cooking my wideband o2 cable, so I'm waiting on the replacement, will be able to do a full tune after I get it slapped back in there.
Boost gauge/controller installed and looking pretty:
Stock 02 fuel rails, ran a braided line from the tank up, mostly for flexibility - I forget what size , corvette fuel filter to get rid of the return line , deka 80 lb injectors and racetronix pump with hot wire kit
had plenty of fuel for 14 psi at 550 rw tq- very conservative tune
