Thanks guys, I'll figure out this wiring sooner or later!!

So good news bad news, first the bad news...I'm such a LAZY POS!! I don't know why but I spent only a few hours in the garage this whole week, and it's not like I didn't have free time to do it, just never got up off my *** and did it!! at myself! Now onto the good...

Got the turbo hung yesterday!! I forgot to take a picture of it but there's a bracket that holds the turbo up so the hot parts just kinda sit there with little weight but their own to support.













All that's left to do (big breath now)...

Intake,
Coolant crossover,
Valve cover swap,
PCV system,
Fuel system (from A - Z),
Run some wiring to a couple new things and spice it into the harness,
Reconnect and re-route the harness to all the sensors and what not,
Put the starter back in,
Change the spark plugs,
Run turbo oil feed and return lines,
Put all the cooling systems back in,
Fluids,
Tune,
Battery re-location,
Fab up rear crossmember,
Put the body panels and bed back in,
Cut hole in bed for fuel tank,
Get a new gas cap/door
Dip stick install, both of them

That's all I can think of for now.

 

I hope you never have to change your water pump lol

 

Quick questions...

What am I gapping my TR6 spark plugs too?
And where should I relocate my battery too? I have two locations in mind, one being on the drivers side just forward of the axle, before the crossmemeber that the passenger shock is connected too...

Like the bottom left of this picture...




Problem with that location, getting to the battery could be a PITA when need be.
Or, second idea is when I get a new cross member fabbed up I can get it made so it's dead center on that cross-member and I can install it right behind the license plate. Problem with that area is it's pretty much within inches of the gas tank...

 

Forget the water pump, I can't get to the tensioner so, I hope I never have to change a belt!!

 

is that supposed to be an "equal length" hotside?

 

hey i usually lurk around here and really admire your truck...
with that said what is it with you and crazy looking exhaust....

regardless nice build.....

 

Yes you can!! Gap yo plugs 30/32 thou. Mine where best there.
Lookin good

 

Looking good bro, Where did the fuel tank come from??

 

Yup, It's a forgotten concept these days!!

I know right! I think I have a lot to compensate for!!

Thanks Curt! Hope your feeling better as well!! And no you can't have your turbo back, stop with all the PM's already!! j/k


I'll send you a PM instead...

 

This thing isn't done yet!!!
