I finally started my GT50-88 build, the turbo came in today and i got stuff mocked up last night to start doing the hotside. Its easy to follow someone elses work and would like to see some pics so i can get my cuts close. Its just going to be a front mount build with the turbo right front of the power steering box. Thanks.

 

here ya go. wastegate is changed to a precision 66 now and pulls from each side and merges into one at the gate.

 

oh wow.. thanks.

Ive looked on this section for years, remember seeing lots of builds but cant find most. Mostly see them when im bored surfing the net at work.

Right now just working on getting the tranny in so i can get the motor at the right angle.. so looking at ur pic, u run 5" or 4" exhaust between the motor mount and k-member? Trying to decide on how to run mine, with the bmr turbo member.

 

i still have a stock k-member and it was 4".

 

where did u get your 5" to 4" reducer?

 

napa.

 

take my advice and take those valve covers off and throw them as far away as possible it will save you alot of hassle down the road

 

leaking issues?

 

I can email you pictures I did the same turbo gt5088

 

pm'd ya

 

leaking and hitting the FACTORY rocker arms

 

gotcha.. i could maybe see the leaking part, but being raised like that i dont see how it hit the rockers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Water bug I have a tial 50mm Q bov forsale if ur looking lmk

 

Wtf Napa sells stuff like that? Who knew

 

good shot.. my plan was to use the UMI solid motormounts with my bmr k-member, but last night i had it mocked up and the motor was crooked. i found out u cant use those together, so i went back to my poly mounts so now i need to get the flex pipe or figure out the solid mounts.
