thanks man, and no kidding, its good to see more and more twin setups! Its definitively A LOT of work... holy cow...

Ill see what i can come up with. I seen where a guy made the hole under the fuse boxes larger, and stuffed them down. then he made a plate to cover them. Ill look into it more when i get to that part. My main focus right now is getting the turbos mounted and the cold side done so i can pull the motor and start doing the tedious things like that.

Made some more progress tonight. Got the drivers side piping done from the manifold to the turbo. Now i just gotta find a good TIG welder. Theres a few places in town, but i want to make sure its professional looking. Not just some monkey in muffler shop who thinks he can weld.. Ill move on getting my wastegates mounted next, then fab the cold side, then the motor should be read to be pulled out.

Its moving slowly, im in the process of moving so....itll get there eventually. heres a couple pics. excuse the dirty engine bay and garage. its all getting painted n e way.

Thanks Jon! Appreciate it! Hopefully these wastegates go on pretty easily. I need to find a drill press like you recommended.

Thats looking pretty badass there man. That engine bay will clean up nicely. Good luck with the new crib. Be nice to get some breathing room to work on this beast.

Here's how I moved my fuse boxes and headlight relay thingamajigger. https://ls1tech.com/forums/13618135-post278.html I ended up cutting the hole larger later on to make it easier to get them back out.

Thanks Joey, you'll have to come check it out when you up this way.

For some reason this didnt show up in my subscribed threads, sorry for the delay.

Id rather do it that way then to cut the wires and extend them. That seems like a nightmare. i may cut the top of the frame and go a step further and hide the main harness then make a sheet metal cover to go over it. I dunno, ill worry about it when the motor is out. Im at a stand still right now until i get into this house. I have to do the cold side and position my wastegates then the motor can come out. But i cant spend n e money until im in this house, i NEED this place so i have my own garage. I appreciate the help!

I was trying to find better pictures, but here is the picture of the new hole: https://ls1tech.com/forums/15473819-post406.html . You'd be surprised how easy it is to do it this way. With the new hole I can just reach down and pull the fuse panel back through the hole in about 10 seconds. I didn't have to cut any wires and it all holds itself in there. It took me forever, but a normal person could do it in about 20 minutes.

That looks good. Is that a sheet metal cover you made? I can't tell.

Beaflag VonRathburg

iTrader: (176)

Acrylic, but I think thin bead rolled aluminum would be best.

how did u get the cover to fit flush with the wire loom under it? as far as where it enters the hole you made? You know what im saying?

Beaflag VonRathburg

iTrader: (176)

Yes, I do. They're actually 3.5'' above the frame rail. I made an aluminum C from flat stock that has two wholes drilled through it. There's two self tapping screws that hold the acrylic to the aluminum. This should explain it better: https://ls1tech.com/forums/14437808-post323.html

Dude i just now seen your post, the subscriptions arent working right for some reason. to answer your question... unfortunately no.. not yet. i ended up buying a house that a guy was in the middle of rebuilding, and get to move in (finally) on saturday, so im hoping to have the engine out in the next 2 weeks. I do have the AES390 PAID OFF finally lol. Going April 20th to assemble it myself. then I'll be working on it as much as money/time allow me to. My plans are to have everything good to go by june minus a transmission. I will probably end up making a new thread when i get the engine pulled, since this one is kinda scatter brained and old..... Work is up and down here lately so, like i said, its all about time/money. Itd be awesome if i could drive it this fall..we will see. Heres a few pics of my new surgery room though Im STOKED to have my own garage for the first time to work on my car when i want.







It'll get there!!!
