Dropped a spare motor in my car. Started on intercooler piping. Didn't even have to cut. Simple 90, 45" 2" pipe, then 2"-2.75" coupler. Other side will be similar. But a 45* pipe, 90* pipe, straight pipe.






Turbo looks a little too close to the frame or is it just the angle?
Can you make a 60* hose connector work between the turbo and intercooler pipe? (the 90* connector is kinking)

Might be too close. I have poly mounts so we will find out. Nothing a grinder can't fix.
I'm pretty sure I had it not kinking at one point. Just moving stuff around and angles. I'll play with it more before final install.

Got a lot done. Probably going to keep working on the intercooler piping and try and finish that tonight.
Needed a shorter coolant return, so cut and weld.



Ran another fuel line for feed, no leaks amazingly. Ran it up to 100psi for a few minutes, worked fine.


Got some intercooler pipes cut, no pictures.
I'm going to have a block vent that comes out from behind the alternator, drops down below the front of the motor, and is held with P-clamps in these bosses.


Also got my catch can mounted

Intercooler piping is done minus one weld. Got bored, so off to other things. Very simple. 4 couplers, 4 welds. The hot side is a single 2" 45* pipe. Pretty awesome.

Photo dump. Charge piping and downpipe is complete, barely fits with the 245s, but it should work. I'm pretty stoked, feels like everything is finally coming together.

I mounted it up there because thats where all my AN lines are. Maybe eventually I will move it to where the normal filter is, but this was easy and I can show it off.
