My Shanghai kit w/2554 has finally arrived from Begi although a few parts are on backorder.

PS delete





discovered a gutted cat

 

Progress will be slow until friday thanks to work

 

Lookin good!!

 

Awesome. How did you do the oil drain, drill it with the pan still on the car??

 

Does the "TBD" cast into compressor housing stand for manufacturer "to be determined?"


Good work drilling the oil pan. Should be an easy upgradeable install.

 

put that bolt back in.

 

Oh Snap!

Good catch.

OP...check this thread for a little more info:

buy a big bottle of good thread sealant, use it on everything that sees a fluid. Doing it once > doing it several times.

 

Thanks for pointing that out tyson. I left the a/c bracket in the car this summer. The oil return is low enough I can put the bracket back in.



Yes it was drilled with the pan still on.

 

You stole my line you bitch!

Looks good! Good catch on the oil pump/bracket bolt.

 

 

Its TBO that's the manufacture of the turbo.

Wrap the heater line to protect it from heat.

Make sure ur wg flapper is opening all the way. Otherwise begi needs to send you a spacer.

And put the bracket back on or get a smaller bolt for that ac bracket hole thingy.


Edit:
Now you need to get some WI.

 

Here are some pics from friday. One fitting was cracked so I bought a stainless oil feed line to use the extra fittings.

 

 

it would appear that you have twice the length of everything you need

 

did you put an exhaust manifold gasket on? doesnt look like there is one judging from pictures

 

Yeah, I reused the stock manifold gasket and there is nothing on the turbo, dp or cat. I will shorten those water lines and add the check valve on the fmu tomorrow. Hopefully Begi sends my stuff soon so I can drive it.

 

Thanks for the comments
