Re: Turbo kit mockup update
Sorry for the lack of updates.
My pitbull attacked my mom, and broke one of my dogs legs. Plus I havent really been able to walk due to my hip.
but
Im taking the car in the next few weeks to my fab guy to make sure that the piping routes I have planned in my head are possible.
but before I install the kit and everything Im going to get the foundation done first. Once I get my garage cleaned and organized, the motor/tranny is coming out. I'm picking up a set of heads so I can have them ported. I have a guy thats going to make me tool steel retainers and I'm looking into a set of stiffer valve springs. While I'm at it I'm going to have cometic build me some MLS headgaskets so I can drop compression a wee bit (while I'm putting on the heads I might as well)
Plus I'll be measuring for the ARP headstuds. I've also found a set of v8 clk headers shorty headers I'll be modifiying to fit the v6, basically just removing one header primary.
Also, the clutch is going to Competition Clutch to have one built (local company, great guys) and Im talking with fidanza at the moment about having an 11lb flywheel made to replace the Dual Mass POS we currently have.
The Driveshaft Shop will be building me an aluminum driveshaft and i'm having the machine shop I used to work at build me aluminum isolators to replace the rubber ones the driveshaft currently uses.
I know this all sounds lengthy, but to avoid potential problems/weaklinks with the turbo setup I'd rather take my time and do it right the first time.
Im also looking for a bare v6 block with crank, will also take stock pistons and rods, one of each should suffice.
