I agree, but the motor is kinda small though :lol: JK looks great so far :thumbright:

Got my gaskets today!

Anyone use Copper Gasket Spray on their exhaust stuff ? Worked great on my HD

Nice lookin build! Love the radiator. Looks like you'll have a fun time with the hose routing for it. I went through the same thing cause i used a civic radiator that has the same bottom outlet. I pieced together copper fittings and different radiator hose sections. If you need pictures to help PM me

[M3NTAL]

RJ came over and i got the turbo mounted up today with new copper washers, gaskets, hardware, and i made some locking tabs with some sheetmetal today too.

We mocked up the AC bracket today too, we had to trim a little off the top bracket so that the water pump outlet hose would fit, it looks like ill have to get a 90 degree coupler for that, i need some input on that too do you think that will be ok?

Got the downpipe mounted up too, and some various vacuum lines too, and the new 02 sensor.

Heres the pics enjoy, B6T with AC yeahhhhhhhhhhhh






Here was the problem with the outlet, i had to trim that bracket down a little





FIXED!



Do you think a 90 would be ok here? or will it strain the pump?




Homemade locking tabs for flange

Maybe have the water pipe bent up. Or cut it at an angle so you can slide the hose over it, at an angle. Probably wouldn't give you any problems just bending the hose but it will be sitting on the a/c compressor and it gets warm. Also looks like you have a decent sized radiator so it shouldn't have any issues.

[skimsucka]

mike doesn't kno anything about a/c next member please hahah


hows the second sonic mike?

[Flyin4stroke]

Don't thread "jack" RJ.

[M3NTAL]

He did start this thread doahahaha

[Flyin4stroke]

Dang wasn't paying attention I'm following this build on like 4 different sites lol

[M3NTAL]

So I bought a 45 degree 1.5" Silicone adapter and a 90 degree.

Hopefully one of these will work well to clear the AC compressor.

Then I have to worry about how to connect the hose from the lower radiator to the outlet.
