I wasnt going to work on the festiva today but after a few Jeremiah Weed's i was feeling like i needed to accomplish something

hooked up more vacuum lines, and oil lines, coolant lines, exhaust support bracket, and theres a REALLY rough estimate on how the IC piping is gonna be routed.

b6t with ac has been done. I think it belongs to Musclecar1 (Kemp)

Don't thread "jack" RJ.

Don't thread jack Mike! hahaha :glasses11: Very nice build! I'm jelious!!

[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.

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


hows the second sonic mike?

[Flyin4stroke]

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.

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

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
