i ordered $330 worth of stuff from summit yesterday. fans, fittings and other stuff.

worked on the driver header today. I got about 3 hours into this one now.





and my intercooler came in today.

 

nice project man wish you all the best

 

thanks

some more pics

 

pulled the header out for welding. i have to pull the steering shaft as i pull the header.

 

Nice build...good luck, I'm sure it will come out great.

 

scrumptious looking headers brah

 

Sounds like a relatively affordable budget build with major potential

 

did the passenger header today.

i first started out by mocking up the collector and down pipe.



then i did the two harder primaries. 2 and 8





then i did the rest





i also mockup the crossover

 

pulled the header out. harder than the driver side to pull out.

 

the down pipe is a very tight fit!

 

I really need a blockoff plate that goings above the oil filter. If someone has one please let me know.

 

I got one, brand new. throw me a few bucks for shipping and its yours.

 

working on the rest of the cross over today. alittle wiring too

 

What about the offset?

I was trying to find if a 18X9.50 with a 50MM offset would work front and rear on a SY?

 

X2 You could probably make those for resale. Truck is looking good! I like getting stuff in the mail from summit

 

offset is 56mm. i run a 1.25" spacer in the back to make up for the narrow rear end. from the factory the syty wheels are different offset front to back.

 

checking a/c clearance

finished the collector

and made most of the downpipe, starts below the header and goes about halfway down the tranny. cant do anymore on it until i get the turbo in

 

welded the headers, downpipe, and crossover today. there all ready for paint and wrap

cut the core support for the intercooler


will probably do the tranny coolers and wiring tomorrow. i also got some 918 valve spring that i will put in tomorrow. i have z06 springs but extremetoy hook me up with some for $20.

 

painted and wrapped the crossover

mounted the intercooler

installed the radiator fans and put the radiator back in, its alittle tight in there

prime gears is out of prop shafts so i am having a local shop build me one. that will be ready on tuesday. I got my stock rear drive shaft shortened and put that in yesterday. I ran my lines for tranny coolers and turbo oil drain yesterday too.

list to do
-mount tranny coolers
-finish downpipe
-make crossover/header to turbo y pipe
-turbo oil feed
-abs delete lines
-paint/wrap headers
-put oil in everything
-hook up wiring harness
-intake tubing

 

Wonder how tight that is going to be once the fenders are in place. Could be closer or further away. Those core supports dont sit right without the fenders. Have you checked it yet?
