The Project Pad

it will be the tube the exhaust gas actually passes through. and i kinda thought it was going to be a bit too snug, but thats nothing a die grinder wont fix. :-D

If your engine and exhaust mounts are rock solid, then a quarter inch or so will be fine. But if the exhaust system moves, you will get a contact buzz, if I may neologize, each time the exhaust hits the body.

engine mounts are solid mounts, with the 034 track density mounts on the frame ears in the bay. same with the tranny mounts, mount brackets will be solid...subframe mounts will be solid delrin. aluminum subframe bushings as well.

my idea once it was all said and done was to give the pipe a bit more clearance and perhaps wrap it with some exhaust heat wrap so that there is a barrier between the vibrating pipe and the metal.

i am going with Jonathan.... 1/4" should be good..... and murdered out especially, you will never even notice the gap.

alright, ill have to take the die grinder to it tomorrow. at least the hard parts are done, lol.

i think my exhaust has a 5" holesaw cut to the fender, and i know the pipe is 4" OD. i just never made a pretty-plate to cover it. and my picky ass dont even notice it.... LOL

so, i decided that i didnt like the way that i was going to do my fuel system, i set it all up a few months back, so i re-did it.

first, i decided that i wanted to mount the pumps to a plate using tbolt clamps and mount that plate to the floor, so it was solid and easy to put together and take apart. also, wanted to have the pumps below the sump. so had my buddy make me a plate with two tbolt clamps welded onto it, theyre not welded TO the plate, they have a strap going over them so that they can be adjusted angle wise. had him weld bolts to the plate and then drilled holes to mount it to the floor. add some rubber hose around the outside of the 044 pumps to cut down on vibration a bit and thats that.







-8 to the pumps, -8 out to the Y-block, and -8 all the way up to the rail, ss braided the entire way. i had a piece of solid ss tube to run under the car, but then thats two more fittings that need to be bought and its just as easy to run braided the entire way.

so, i got my turbo today....thanks to clay@CTSturbo for the hookup this thing.

specs.
.70 a/r compressor housing
billet compressor wheel
ceramic ball bearing
.82 a/r exhaust housing
three inch v-band outlet

i dont want to say what type of power this will make for me, all i will say is that it will be alot, lol.

good god!

Thats sick, that turbo should make plenty of HP.

dry humping turbo.....

damn, it does look like im trying to bang that thing.

nut hugging lmao

That milk looks old . Nice looking turbo!

why isnt it tapped for a dp, or have a vband?

looks like a v-band to me. :?
