A few more turbo install pics

[Matthew]

Mathew.....its hard to see from this angle....but the only thing I would Strongly recommend is that the oil return line be "less kinked"... the oil should have the shortest route into the oil pan.

Maybe shorten the line up a bit...and get an "angle" fitting out of the oil pan. (also the position on the oil pan itself could be a "bit" higher)

You have done some great work...and it looks great.. this would be my only advice.

it is hard to see, and its a bad pic...its not kinked in any way i assure you i was really concerned about that! and btw whoever asked its not just laying there (hand)

Matthew....my point being that the oil line should be as straight as possible....from the picture...it loops out and back in...versus protecting your investment and shorting the line up and attaching an angled (see attached). Also that would prevent the oil return line from resting against the downpipe (which is also a concern), I know the line is steele braided...but it shouldn't be touching such a hot piece of metal.

(please do not take this as flaming...just trying to save you larger problems down the road)

 

[Matthew]

ill have to look into it this evening...im pretty sure im good though...the way the downpipe is and everything i need to have a little line...

Hey Matthew, looking good. Like YP5 said, just get yourself a 90 degree #10 fitting. I ran into the same problem since I tapped the oil pan in the wrong side, so I used the 45 degree. If you get the 90 you can shorten that line by 4"-5" and prevent the oil from staying in the line after the car is off. Also might help from touching the downpipe. Remember that sucker is going to get real hot.

Its alot straighter than that in person, trust me it worked on my car for 6 months with no oil burning so im pretty sure there wont be a problem there.

 

[Matthew]

[Matthew]

almost done, gonna buy a guage pillar tonight

 

[Pirana]

You need a couple of lunar gauges, hehehe, maybe a big tach?

 

[Matthew]

No!

measure to the bottom of your bumper support thats what i did...i think its like 12 inches or close to it...you could always make them 18 to be safe and not run into any problems.

So those were something that you fabbed up yourself, cool. I need to bookmark this and all your recent threads to look at when I start my install.

[dominoy2k1]

i have about 11k miles on the clutch, running 4-6lbs daily with no slipping. at 9 thats when i have issues. for fuel pump walbro intank, if not you could always get an inline one.
