Before the butchery
More cutting needed
Sawzza and grinder with cutoff wheel are the only tools at my disposal. Gonna try and get a dremal to clean this all up with. A lot of work to pit in an On3 radiator.

Starting the switch from auto the manual pedals. The one thing I am unsure of is the bracket seems to move around about to get an accurate locarion to drill for the clutch master
Some evay headers I tried to use, but they def dont work on the 4th gens. Clearance issues with waterpump coolant bypass, and on driverside with ps pump and the steering shaft
Seen someone cutting up a bumper to use as a bracket for the intercooler. We will see how it turns out. Just got the foam part off. They are just held with some push pins, prolly the biggest I ever say anyhow.

Over all came out ok. This is an On3 stand up rad. Info isnt to really out there for doing this, and they include no instructions on doing these.
Some brakets I found at Walmart to help add support because I cut a lil to much out.

Had a tarp, and it still leaked through, and put a gallon of water in the engine. Good thing it was getting pulled to put in a bmr kmember.
New k member installed
Finally in.
Engine and trans going in from the top.
She’s coming together man. Keep it up!
It’s funny cuz I named my red turbo 2000 ws6 the Dirty Bird. She was a relatively nice car when I got her in 2012. But the years of dragging it around to completion this year really took a toll on her! Hence the name lol.
Your thread looks a lot like mine. I guess nobody gives us red fbody guys any love these days

Sneaky way to mount since they look small enough
i like this angle as I can maybe utilize my cheapie ws6 hood, and also keep my abs module and battery in place. These turbos are almost the perfect size.
Ditch the abs! It’s heavy and just kind of annoying. It’s pretty cheap and easy to replace. SJM manufacturing makes a lil kit to do it too. Add a line lock while your there if you want.
