Not much time to do anything today, but I did get the vac. nipple welded onto the intake pipe at the fab shop.
then I polished the pipe, ordered some clamps for it, and turned off the garage lights. More work next week.
Today, I went to the local Caffeine&Octane show around 8am, just to drool over a couple hundred cars.
When I got home with a slight bit more motivation, I decided to hammer out the two cuts in my passenger floorboard.
Before:
After:
Good enough to allow me to weld it back...
Oil bolt?
The bolt that attatches to the turbo goes straight into the iron of the center cartridge. I don't see any chance of stressing anything here.
Besides, I only plan to place mild tension on this assembly, as it's only purpose is to reduce the workload of the exhaust manifold studs.
Today I received my 4" 30 degree intake pipe.
So I cut it:
And I test-fit it with the AEM dryflow filter:
Thankfully, the 30dgree angle is perfect for the space I have. Next, I have to get the fab shop to tig in the power steering idle-up nipple to the underside. Then...
I see that on Ebay- the fake Bee-R's don't have the name or the logo on the top.
It doesn't even seem to claim that it's a Bee-R. Just looks the same on the outside.
Fake...
Want to take some of the torque strain off of the exhaust manifold bolts. They're supporting a:
25lb manifold
20lb turbo
10lb downpipe
Fwd weight/ strain of the exhaust system
The stay will simply put a light upper tension on the turbo. Hopefully, it'll help with longevity.
Tired tonight.
Adam came down from SC today, and we worked out asses off, removing all his suspension arm/ hub bushings. But it was worth it- we got them all out.
Picked up my upper turbo stay from the fab shop. Looks like it will do what I need it to.
