Lookin Good Richard.

Your hard work will soon pay off!

Thats very smart to "upgrade" your Tcase against pump rub, I did the same thing to my Dmax.

 

looks like it's coming along nicely, keep it up!

 

I spent all day working on this and felt like I didnt get much done. Taking care of little stuff just destroys the day. Good news is I should have the right tcase input seal tomorrow so I can finish putting that back in, and my new driveshaft and fittings I need to finish the fuel should be here tomorrow.

I ran into a few issues today, like the flange for the oil drain had the bolt holes 3mm too narrow and wouldnt bolt up, which gave me a good excuse to use the present my dad got me for Christmas


Wrapped and sprayed the hot parts, except I forgot about the second part of the downpipe so I need to get some more to finish that and wrap the AC lines.


Heater hoses extended, oil lines done, blah blah blah. I am going to have a ton of stainless lines going on in there by the time im finished...should look pretty sweet. I cant use the oil breather with the turbo right there, so I need to come up with something for that, and I ordered a 90 degree silicone coupler for the filter because there isnt enough room straight ahead to mount it directly to the turbo.




Need to fab something up for the trans cooler and do the cold side stuff tomorrow...

 

Nice progress

 

Looks like fun!

 

big day tomorrow

 

Nice drill press !

My bud just got the same one last week and we've been using the hell out of it, works great.

Oh the turbo looks great too BTW !!

 

Got it finished today...mostly. Drove around for a bit and have a bit of a boost creep problem, but damn 14psi is fun

 

damn that's purdy.

Vids?

 

this isnt cool without pics or videos
