Nice man! I would trim that ring you really dont need much around it just an 1" at most on both sides i have been driving mine a lot with no trim ring and it hasnt melted anything at all. I bet your dying to get out there and drive!!
Oh and can i borrow that bead roller haha

mrstepheneades

LOL its a bead form brand i think.... My friend borrows it from somewhere lol... Things like almost 500 bucks!!!!

Yeah cant wait to drive it... I cut the bumper out almost that big where stainless is. Just left enough for rivets. I know its overkill but i didnt want any melt and it gets hot around here in summer.. Im gonna make all the stainless hot pipes look like chrome after we get turbo braced up and my oil return put in timing cover hopefully tonight...

I'm curious how you are going to use the stock fans as pushers? You are simply going to swap wires in the plug in, and this will make them run backwards?

mrstepheneades

Yeah plan on switching the wires behind connectors..it reverses polarity makes them turn the other way... Seen a few people do it to stockers... Figured i would try my free option before buying fans lol

Ya those things are nice. If you were closer i would borrow it haha. That wont be bad if you paint that ring the same color as the car you would hardly notice it.I'm bringing my pipes to get ceramic coated monday cant wait to see how they come out. Now just need to ditch this snow so i can race!

My friend is an ex employee for kooks headers here in town and has the stainless hookup lol, so i lucked out there.

If not for him i wouldnt of went stainless..

And yes i plan to paint ring color of bumper, matter of fact whole bumper will get painted cause where i cut bird out on front and shallowed fog light holes for intercooler you can see back where it isnt painted... So gonna get all that panited over.

Better Picture now with some rivets

I'm curious how yours will sound with 4" instead of 5".
That brace should hold just fine!
Do you have solid motor mounts?????

mrstepheneades

Im curiuos as well lol. Martin at Tick speced me a big cam for the build that ill be purchasing soon so should have a nice hit... Like a 612 lift cam lol...

The brace pivots with bolts where its attached to frame rails..... No support really up but if you try to push down on it, it would have to spread the frame rails apart to move any lol....

No solid mounts, i do have a engine stay rod fabbed in that hopefully will help with engine movement... We will see.... Gonna use better bolts but those are just thrown in there for mock up. The little turn buckle is pretty strong...

that "engine stay rod" looks like it will transfer just as much vibration as solid motor mounts. any reason that you didnt just go solid? I agree that the plate for the exhaust could be a little smaller or at least symmetrical but it'll look better when it's all painted.

mrstepheneades

I may go solid mounts when the engine blows one day and has to be pulled out but since im tight on money and my friend had the turn buckle we just agreed to try something different....

oh i know, i cry alittle every time i hit that purchase button

mrstepheneades

Well i got a good friend that has many hookups.

Well hopefully they are solid just because if the motor shakes and the turbo is solid with the frame not sure how that will work. But I'm sure you know this already. You have metal just make some mounts.

mrstepheneades

May just have my friend get the welder in there and make the factory 1 solid lol

What are some thoughts on fuel pumps??? I wanna just do a single pump style, leave stock regular and rails and lines, only upgraded injectors.. Injectors will be fic 1000cc.. Are there any single intake pumps out there to support possible 700whp?? On pump gas/meth

I bet you can get close to that with one Walbro 340 twin in tank pumps are pretty easy to install though and not too expensive
