    not many wires needed. No stock cluster, no fuse box nor stock relays (except the 3 that are tied to the engine harness)

    I have a painless wiring aftermarket harness and fuse block.


    Manifold/turbo/dp/wastegate are here. Unfortunately I'm a moron and didn't show my fabricator pictures of my cage tieing into my front shock towers, and totally forgot about it when looking at pictures of the manifold/wg piping.... thus the downpipe and WG pipe don't fit. Going to have to get them modified. Here are a few pics of the manifold and turbo on the car though





























    And some WG clearance issues that I need to fix / have modified since I didn't tell my fabricator about the cage tie in to the front shock towers:






    That's it for now.. Might have to pull the manifold/turbo off to send it back and get modified. Maybe first start next weekend?

    You may also want to use the 135/335/n54 exhaust studs. They are a torx head bolt and much easier to deal with. You can cut them to length if your manifold is an odd depth.

    You'll also want to think about riveting or screwing in the DEI wrap on the wheel well - as the adhesive will start to fail over time.

    Lots of progress, keep it up.

    I'd rather not do that. Way too much work went into this chassis to just cut a cage tube like that. I might just rotate the first pipe and have the recirc closed up on the DP and run open dump for now

    -Mike

    more test fitting... wrapping downpipe, turbo blanket, etc.

    Had the downpipe modified and WG piping modified to just run open dump. Bring ear plugs if you want a ride

    hell yeah. I had an open dump on my 6262 but only for 3 days.... street driving it, cops can hear you from literally 1/4 mile + away.... I don't want to go to jail. For a drift/track car though, hell yeah! so easiest way to fix this piping was go open dump. I still have to go get a dump tube fabbed, but i'll drive/tow the car to my buddy to do that after the *rest* is done, i.e. running, with windows, etc.

    few more pics from last night

    because the clutch fan does a way better job at cooling at low speeds / high RPM than any e-fan. I had a spal setup. According to my MXL water temp logs, the clutch fan flows a LOT more air than a 16" spal.

    About the clutch fan, really? I guess cause your boosted you get alot more heat. I run dual 10inch electric fans but I'm also na so I'm guessing not half as much heat as you. Been following this build for a while. Sure do wish I had this kinda fundage haha.

    Yeah turbos make a lot more heat than an NA car. The clutch fan flows like 5000 CFM once that fan clutch starts locking up as water temp rises to the 195-200 area. Hence the crazy "howl" you get when the car gets warm.. It's flowing a LOT of air. My spal would flow more at idle and keep idle temps a little lower, but for high rpm, low-ish speed situations (i.e. auto-x or drifting), the clutch fan does a WAY better job of keeping the water temp in check. (which is why I think it's crazy chelsea isn't running a clutch fan right now. AHEM. )

    Haha idk he's doing a good job of it. I'm running a v8 with an upgraded cooling system, pump, rad,160 t-stat and the fans output 2900 cfm a piece. Did away with the clutch fan when it broke on the inline six.

    Yeah man, one 16" spal flat blade flows like 2400cfm. I know you have a lot more power, and therefore heat, but I can't believe that that clutch fan would do better than two of those bad boys.

    Yeah I was talking about Benny. He mentioned 2400 CFM for a 16" spal, and talked about fitting to of them. I didn't / don't think that's possible to fit. The rad isn't wide enough

    Wow, Mike! Everything looks awesome. I can't believe I missed this thread. I thought your replies in Otis' thread were said in jest about the manifold and turbo.

    heh, nope! I sent him the manifold/wg and told him I wanted a twin scroll top mount T4 setup So far I'm VERY pleased with his work. If I did it again though, I would go with a 3.5" downpipe. the 4" is asking for trouble with heat management and it being so close to EVERYTHING. Good thing I have solid engine / trans/ everything mounts or I'd have problems with it bumping into stuff too
