Hitting it HARD today. Getting somewhere too!

Moved the ECU and all that pretty wiring I did. Need room for the intercooler! I bought a bunch of 2.5" pipe and bends. Then started cutting.

I also figured out where to mount the radiator. Should be perfect, but the water pump may be tough. Gotta play with that a but yet.

Here's the pipe I fabricated. So I have the intake covered. Now for the turbo output. Hmmm.

Been helping D914 with his car. I remounted the inter cooler for him. He's using a outfront turbo pipe that mounts the turbo to the front of the engine. Hope to have this going for him SOON.

I wish that would have been an option for me. At one point I thought about trying to find a rotated turbo, but that just isn't in the cards. Moving the ECU and wiring was a painful decision but in the end, the best way to get this project back on track.

I also hooked up the Air-Oil separator and will work more on the burp tanks tonight. I can't find the filler attachment for the radiator ANYWHERE so that may be a stopper temporarily.

I was looking at everything last night and thinking "I'm really very close here" so if I play my cards right, I could be on the road in a few weeks. Once I can get the engine running, the interior should come together quickly. There's a lot less "engineering" necessary in tat department.

Remote liquid intercooler is awesome! Guess I missed that. Carry on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Here's how I'm thinking I route the filler for the intercooler. Since I need to fill at the highest point, I'm thinking here is a good place to start. This will let me mount the pump under the car and not have to worry about it getting choked up with air. (In theory anyway.)

I'll be routing the tubing inside the trunk compartment so the lines don't get too hot by being next to the exhaust. Really the only way I CAN do it. So I guess my thoughts of a waterless trunk are kinda out the window. I'm going to have to make up a plate on risers for the ECU and wiring too then. Maybe a double-stack kinda configuration. That'll limit my ability to monkey with the wiring if I ever need to, but I could likely do it where with 4 wingnuts, I'm in good shape. Who knows...I'll have to get in there and see what's possible after I get the radiator mounted and plumbed.

This is a royal PITA, and I hope I only have to do it once. I'm really looking forward to my FactoryFive 818 build this winter. Having a mid-engined car with INSTRUCTIONS will take a lot of the "How in the f%@k am I going to engineer this?" out of the equation.

Don't forget there will be a big bubble of air inside the intercooler. This will be above the level of the pipe fitting. Leave it loose so you can lift one end after filling with water. The pump alone will not be able to get the bubble out.

Doug, great work! I may have to move up there. Apparently there are more hours in the day in northern OH. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Already planning on it. I think I have a plan for that.

GREAT to see you last night Rick. I'm glad you like the build. I get nervous doing everything myself in a relative vacuum.

been there, once nice little town- friend of mine's home town. He practices down in Kentucky.
are you joining a family practice down there?, Good luck in the new position! seems like there are a lot of teeners in the mid-west. Saw a few in cincinatti last time i was up there to visit my nephew. Good central location, should be close enough to make it down to the Octeenerfest! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

OK Doug, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . No updates in 9 days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) You don't even want to know what page I found this on. Is it at the mechanic's, yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I wish it was at the mechanic's. I ran into an issue a few weeks ago and then "life got in the way" as it does for so many.

I discovered I hand' even thought about having a blow-off valve which means I need to tear things back apart and start over on my Air-Water intercooler. What a PITA.

I'll get back to it soon. Need to concentrate on family and work for a few more weeks. After that, I AM close. Just don't have time for the garage right now. Sorry guys.

If I can't get to it in a few weeks, I've honestly been considering just selling it off. I wan't have time to finish it in the next few months and it may be a necessity if things go south at work. I'm just sick over the whole situation. If I could even just find someone to hand it off to to finish for me, that'd be awesome too. Again...there is a lot up in the air.

Sorry to hear that, Doug. Let me know if I can help. Life can be an utter fugging bitch with moments of happiness intertwined. Take what it gives you and leave the rest. Here is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) to hoping everything works out for you, soon! Kent
