Looking at your pics. What all was reused from the Greddy kit. I saw oil pan, manifold, downpipe, exhaust housing, and intercooler? Did i miss anything else? Really interested to see how the 3076R works with your build. Making me wish I had kept mine from my old car.

Thanks, I'm hoping to make it to Dupont on Jan 19th.

The Greddy Oil Pan is not included with the Greddy Turbo Kit.

From the Greddy Kit I used the Manifold, Down Pipe, Intercooler and Piping.

I'm using a Mazsport Intake kit(Just the MAF tube and 90 degree bend that connects to the Air Filter), the piping between the Turbo and Mazsport Intake is custom, and I'm using an AEM Dryflow Filter. The Turbo had to be modified and the Wastegate setup is custom.

DEI Cool tape ftw! This build is official as hell :icon_tup:

Thanks

Just a small update...

Support Bracket for Intake Pipe, attaches the pipe to the front cross bar to keep it in place there's not much clearance so proper placement is important so it doesn't interfere with the front sway bar or eccentric shaft pulley.

Gusseted Intercooler Bracket, One of the first ones I made snapped while bending it because of the tight radius bend so I will have the gusset welded in for strength.

Piping has all been test fit and the tray has been cut to fit.

The Turbo and Manifold are back off the car, the wastegate bracket has to be redone for proper alignment and clearance, I'm going to have this done tomorrow. Once that's done and the last few little things are welded all I need to do is have everything powder coated and it can all go back together.

Dude that tray is legit. Can your guy make one?

Thanks, I bought the materials and cut and fit it myself, I just had him weld it up for me.

I can have one made for you, I have to check costs on materials for just the tray and check with the guy who welded everything to find out how much he'd want just to weld the tray.

I would appreciate it, that would be awesome.

Sent you a message Scott

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but on the Throttle Body coolant line, the coolant flows from the rear iron back to the thermostat housing right?

Just want to make sure I'm routing the turbo coolant lines correctly.

It would be the same as the REW I would think. That's what I based my routing on and it's working fine.

Thanks, Based on that diagram it's the same as I thought.

Just wanted to be sure especially after reading the Garrett Water Cooling White Paper you linked me to. (http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...er_Cooling.pdf)

Coolant should flow from the lower port on the CHRA to the higher port.

Scott, check your messages on FB.

Yeah my CHRA is different than yours as well so you should follow what they recommend. Your setup is going to be legit. Proper prior planning FTW.

Yup I'm all about proper planning.

When I was training in Kempo Jiu Jitsu my Sensei's liked to use the saying
"Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance" and it definitely applies here.

The 6 "P"s! Ironically used in IT dojos too :beer05:

Nice looking good!!

Exactly what they used to call it.

Thanks

I was going to wait until I had this powder coated to post it, but I decided to just post it now.


Here are pics of my Custom Canister Setup for a Catch Can, Sohn Reservoir, and Coolant Reservoir....

You are so talented...

Cats out of the bag :lol: Looks great man. Do want.

came out awesome in the end. Kyle was originally just going to do all three in a row, and then I planted the seed for rotor shaped bracket. Came out awesome! well done Kyle!

Thanks Monchie

LOL Yup...Thanks

I'll work on making the last part happen.

Thanks Chris, Good Idea, Once you mentioned it I had to do it.

looks great so far, very nice detail and good canister set up!

It also looks like you removed the engine bay carpet/heat shield material, but hard to tell in the photos.

Thanks

Yea the fiberglass insulation in the engine bay is gone.

Wastegate bracket was redone, notice the elongated holes to allow for small adjustments if necessary.
