Hey wait a second... Where is your custom intake?

Ahh another avid enthusiast of the parts tray fender. A wise decision, until you rest your arm on the fender.

**shakes head** previous posts states the throttle body doesn't clear so I need to re make the intake before it's usable

[chrisofna]

Ahh, sorry, must of missed that post.

[Damkid]

Lol it's all good

Donny, those bolts that fell behind my headlight... Learning the hard way

Up by the cowl's a little safer!

[walth]

agreed, I've got nuts and bolts that haven't moved in a few thousand miles by the strut towers. lol.

any other updates Chris?

Just looking around at K parts and came across this:

http://probeaddiction.com/turbopipes.htm

Maybe you've seen it. I just thought this just might stand a shot at working for you. Although it looks like the flanges don't line up quite right in the pictures. Don't know what that's all about.

Thanks for that link but I'm sure that won't work for me, I have only 1 spot to the exhaust to the turbo, the pipe going out the back needs to run over my tranny and behind the engine in order for it all to work out

I'm just subscribing because, while I'm not into building fast cars, I can appreciate custom work, and I see a challenge being met and exceeded here.

Looking forward to future updates.

This turbo is blown and for mock-up only

I got this turbo from my friend at work, it is an HX35 and the shaft actually snapped in two, so it's junk basically, i've decided to not use the garett turbo and just get an HX35, that way i'm only making the piping once

So here's a couple pics

The HX35 by itself



Comparison to the garett turbo



And i had to get an idea how well it'll even fit in my engine bay and i think it'll fit nicely of course it's just resting in there so it's position is not the way it'll be mounted in there




On another note, i'm hoping to be buying my intercooler within the next couple weeks, once it arrives i'll be able to rebuild my intake with knowing where to place the throttle body lol

[Rocketman]

Are you going to run turbo pipes topside like the Turbo Grand Prix? Sure save a lot of space and piping

[Damkid]

I have it all planned out in my head and the best way for me to show everyone is to just build the pipes and take pics, it should look nice and clean when I'm done

[dueces]

Is the HX35 gonna support your power goals? I Think you might have to upgrade to a 40, or maybe I am just plain wrong, Ha ha. I love Turbo Diesel Turbo'es, because they will last forever if you take care of them

[thered56]

Oh it will!
