Well I made a little progress today to get ready to stand my radiator up. I removed the A/C compressor, condenser and canister. I also went ahead and removed my alternator since its getting relocated, and i also pulled out the radiator.

Cant wait until this engine is removed so I can clean, and repaint the engine bay..



Lots of room for turbos!



No more A/C



Now i see why you cant fit a downpipe on the drivers side with a stock K-member....holy ****, no room..

Couple of questions now.

I wanna put my radiator under my brace, and just cut a hole for the radiator cap in this area...



Would this work? Would all i have to do is have to cut this part out?



Also, wtf is this? Its on the drivers side...

Cuise control box is the mystery part and use a hole saw for the cap and a cutoff wheel on a grinder for the part underneath the brace along with a face shield! Do not run a cutoff wheel without it.

I plan on safety first lol. I thought that was the curise control. How should i do my brackets for the radiator with it being under the brace.

what is the cfm on those fans... I've seen some people try them with no luck

I recommend Derale 16925 right at 2500 cfm each temps never go over 185

right around 1200/piece. imma give em a try. i figured with those, no A/C, and a 160* stat id be ok. if not, ill upgrade later.

I received my truck manifolds today that i bought off of a member here..



Also made some head way on standing the radiator up. I need to get a hole saw so i can cut a hole for my radiator cap.

Got a couple more goodies in. Not getting many replies, or suggestions, but if anyone cares, my XSPower BOV came n, alternator relocation bracket, and my 2.5" V-bands for my truck manifolds came in yesterday. Almost to the point where i can start building.

BOV, i was leery about buying whats considered a "cheap" part. But i was assured that this bov was really a quality piece, so for $98, i said **** it and ordered it. its a bov, worst its gonna do is stop working and cause some compressor surge, then i can replace it. But, i got it in and looked at it. its an extremely nice piece. better than i was expecting. high quality for sure.





Also, i put a deposit down on my AES 390!

Callies crank, compstar rods, diamond pistons, custom turbo cam.

One piece of advice. Clamp the vbands together while you weld, otherwise you will have a warped mess.

I use the same blowoff valves without any issues but the worst thing that could happen is the valve breaks loose and goes through the engine. Not very likely though.

thanks for the help man. Any advice on prepping the tubing for welding? ive read that u have to slightly grind the areas your going to weld. im not welding the whole thing. i just need to tack it so a friend of mine can take it to work and finish it up.

Well, i finally got my Turbos, Gates, and Flanges in. should start in about a week and a half fabiing things up. ANY advice at all on how to position these turbos correctly as far as where they are going to sit. Do you just basically eye it, or is there a way to mount the flange in the area you want the turbo to go and you just build to that flange.

Turbonetics 66/65's .68 A/R



Turbonetics RG-45mm Wastegates







All my mandrel bends from Columbia river... Im sending back the flanges and the extended v-bands. going to get the rectangular port flanges with the turbo forms and just the vband rings. There is a dead spot against the turbo with round port flange and i dont like it.

As far as selecting your tubing, did you take advice from someone else on what all to buy or just wing it and guess?
