Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Well,
Tom shipped my turbo manifolds on Friday and they went 2-day air, so they will be here tomorrow <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I started putting the car back to turbo form...I mounted the *** pipe again and am going to pull off the stock exhaust manifolds early tomorrow morning.
I'm putting on solid mounts for a little extra clearance on the turbos. There have been some major changes to the setup since the manifolds were on last time (heads, cam, intake, cage, etc.)...so the first few days will be spent doing some tuning and sorting out. If I get the car finished tomorrow then I will let you guys know how it feels.
Thx,
Scott

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Sweet
Looks like Tom is getting things worked out. That is if the parts did indeed ship
The solid mounts are gonna give you lots of room mixed w/ a k-member. Are they Madman's?
You may need to open the holes up a bit to get everything aligned, i did

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Nice pics Matt!
The mounts are Madman's...actually, I have the same setup as you with the PA K-member and A-arms. I was the first one to modify that K-member for the Incon kit.
They are out for delivery, so we will see!

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Scott
The PA stuff is nice. I wasn't planning on the A-arms but the stockers wouldn't fit the turbo specific k-member. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Now if they had told me before hand, i wouldn't have figured that out w/ the engine on the floor and the car on the hoist <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

The sump runs off the old AC belt drive. To keep the gear speed in the pump within reason i have to run a 4" pulley on the pump and a 3" pulley on the crank. The ATI damper I have to run is way under drive. Not sure on the hours of operation, but i bet it's more than my fuel pump <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
If all else fails, call Katech. They use Razor pumps on alot of stuff.

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Y2khawk, I new you had the dry sump at the AC location. I was just curious on the hours, only thing I say on razor webpage was 1000 hours which aint very long. With a few mods I can get the Tilton on to last a long time, so I guess I might go that way.
Also I dont want to give people the wrong impression on the Incon parts. I wont be getting the CHRAS (I bought them myself), stage II injector brackets (not using the fueling part of the stage II computer), and probably not the y-pipe (Tom said he did not have a big enough box, which means he propbably did not have the parts). I was supposed to get these 6 months ago.

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) I think Tom actualy did send my parts this time, he actually called to confirm my address. It would be good, car has been sitting on jack stands for a year now. Well at least I got the new transmission in, the k-member, and all new suspension done
Nice pictures Y2KHawk, why didnt you mount the dry sump pump up higher toward were the egr valve and keep your air conditioner. Also whats the expected life on the dry sump pump (hrs). I emailed razor but they have not gotten back with me.

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Here's the update...
The stock manifolds are off and I am in the process of changing the motor mounts (this is a major pain in the *** on your back <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> )
There is a ton more room with the stock mounts out of the way...
Tomorrow I plan on re-installing the manifolds and completing the setup...and then a little test driving <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Matt,
Thanks for the tip on the mount holes. I reamed mine out a little before I installed them, and it was apparent that they needed it.

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Scott are you going to bring the car out to Carlsbad on the 28th? We need some more quick cars there! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Terry,
Sounds good, that should give me plenty of time to get the turbos re-installed, the new fuel system in, and the car tuned.
I just got back today from Lake Havasu for the 4th and I am working on the motor mounts and getting the turbos bolted up today.
I should have the car running by next Saturday.

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Talked to Tom today, said he would be sending me the y-pipe, brackets and one compressor housing on wednesday (doughtful). He gave me the run around about he thought he already sent the compressor housings (he said they were sitting in box last week when I talked with him). So looks like I will be buying at least one compressor housing myself. Hopefully he is sending the custom compressor housing (the one with inlet parallel to outlet) at least thats what he said. The other one is a standard garrett piece so should be relatively cheap. Either way getting pretty close to not having to deal with him anymore which will be good.

Re: Turbos go back on tomorrow ;) Well,
My update hasn't changed...I got the turbos on Tuesday and left for Lake Havasu on Weds. for the 4th of July.
I got back late on Saturday and bolted up the manifolds on Sunday, so now all I really have to do is re-run the water lines, the oil lines, and some small misc. stuff.
I am traveling for work and will not be back home until Saturday, so it has to sit for now.
