298....tr6060.....67mm@20 psi.....in progress!

yeah,welding looks like shit compared to some real good welders......but i know its solid as hell, checked for all the pinholes and welded those up as well......should be a real solid set up!

3" piping from the headers to the turbo and from the turbo to where it y's into the dual exhaust. most kits are 2.5" from the headers to the turbo.....my intensions are to releave as much heat off the cylinders as possible.....and reduce as much back pressure between the headers and turbo.....this turbo spools planty fast so i dont think ill have issues with loosing any pressure there!

Looks great! Almost there!

Awesome work my man!! We'll have to post pics of fab work in Pics and videos. I have a bunch of pics I'll get from my buddy.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

All the fab work looks good. Tig welding is the way to go if you know how. But once you get everything coated it wont really matter. Nice work.

job i was suppose to go on today got cancelled....so i came home and got to work, most productive day so far!

radiator installed and re-painted the behind grill area
all re-wiring for headlights complete
headlights installed
all vacuum lines re-routed
all sensors for the aeroforce gauges re-wired, oil temp,oil pressure and electronic boost gauge
meth controller installed and wired up
wiper cowl and wipers re-installed
made fuel line that replaces the entire fual line in the engine bay



now, for those who would like to install OEM HID's on thier non-OEM HID car.....this can be done with a few modification to the factory harness, adding 2 relays and a diode.....and also modifing the plug, the non-HID plug does not plug into the HID housings, they are slightly different. gave the car power today for the first time in 4 months to test out the headlights!

Id like to thank TJ for the lights! they took some work to get them looking good but they look great now!

buy clutch
pick up and install turbo pipes
send off turbo for inspection and possibly rebuilt
modify valve covers

tr6060 aquired

valve cover and piping back from welding and ceramic coating, just need to clean up the valve covers and take them for powder coating.

 

[GT500KR]

Man looks awesome i just sent my long tubes out for ceramic coat on my old charger

 

[GB10]

Looking real good. I bet welding those bungs on the valve covers was a pain, but definitely a good idea.

 

[JeremyH]

Looks good, I like how you put the vbands on the headers!

tr6060 is in and TOB hooked up.

i will have to get my driveshaft cut down, it measures 53" from flange to flange and my driveshaft is 53" when its fully compressed.....ill drop it off tomorrow to get cut and rebalanced!

dropped the intake manifold off to get some airbrush work done!

You are getting close. How did you like not having to deal with those stupid ears on the 3650? Makes quite a difference imo.

it wasnt too bad....it was still a pretty big chore on my back, using 2 jacks and balancing every damn thing,lol....

 

[JoshK]

awesome work man, love this build thread!

 

[05stroker]

Whats going on with those lower freeze plugs in the heads ?

 

[one eyed willy]

Whats going on with those lower freeze plugs in the heads ?

those are heat sensors, the place that rebuilt the heads for me put them on there for warranty reasons, if they get to hot then the center burns out of that piece.
