yeah... that's two threads that I've found you posting for templates in.. :p this begs the questions... is this just curiousity or are you thinking about building something?? hmm... inquiring minds wanna know.

 

I may be doing a east coast road trip in a few weeks..can I stop by and check it out?

I'll buy the beer.

 

Absolutely.
PM me when you are coming around and I'll give you contact info.

 

do u live in jersey?

 

You're to young for the beer magix..

No soup for you!

 

Snap-on,

Make sure you take your mini spy camera and get all the specs on it!!

 

How about this attached PDF?

 

Why would he need to do that? I'm posting everything right here as I make it.

Practically in real time.

 

Maryland.

 

Just an interested bystander..amazed at your work as I am..

 

That might work. I'll have to see if I can get it to print up actual size. That attachment doesn't quite have the whole thing.

I might have something planned.

 

That is the exhaust manifold gasket. It is exactly port-matched to the manifold itself.
The PDF is full size.
The only difference between the manifold and the gasket are the supports between the ports and the tube that feeds the air pump ports.

I'll try to do one with paper and pencil, though it is bigger than any paper I have around at the moment.

 

Only 2 out of 3 ports are visable in that file. I assume they are spaced exactly the same between both sides and are both the same size. They should be. The question is where are the mounting holes on that side?

How close is that turbo to the engine mount? It's got to be right up next to it.

 

Fred you never seem to sleep, makes me wonder. Every other post is written during vampire hours.

 

oh, that must explain the blood stains in Fred's car. He told me it was b/c being a real estate agent is rough in Houston :D

 

The entire gasket is in that file. There must be something wrong with your version of Acrobat. Try scrolling down. Remember, it is full size which is about 14".

The intake port on the turbo just clears it. I'll have more pictures soon enough.

 

When I pull it up I only see 11 Inches of the 14 inch file. I really don't think anything is wrong with Acrobat. I have version 5 somthing.

 

OK. Lets try again:

 

Much better..all the ports are in the PDF now..Thanks.

 

second pdf has the whole thing now jeff. thanks for the pics its looking realy nice

 

Thanks. Lots more coming tonight!

 

btw if you just happen to fab up a second one by accident you can just put it in a box and ups it to me. cod the freight

 

Yeah, and Zoom44 actually live in Keizer, Oregon. PM me and I will give you the address.

 

I could probably swing that.
Freight might be a little pricey, though.

 

Got most of the rest of the piping done today.

Mounted the IC:



Got the pipes from the airbox and to the throttle body along with the TurboXS BOV:



Turbo is nicely hidden away:



Now I need to do the oil supply and drain and connect the pipes to the turbo.
Then, I have to fab the bracket for the WG actuator and a bunch of support brackets for the various pipes to the body or engine and the downpipe to the transmission.
Then, I will put in some heat shields and wrap.

Then, I get to take it all out and clean, polish and re-fit.
