Capri Progress

[Martin0660]

Got at the Capri pretty good today. Head is re-installed, everything pretty well bolted up, sealed up, etc. Got the new header, turbo and related stuff bolted on. The turbo will be off and on a few more times to finish some details, but the pictures are how it's gonna look ;) Also have the pipe with PMAS sensor installed for the Mass Air conversion.







I still need to fab up the hot side intercooler piping (turbo to IC), Figure out what I'm going to do with my blow off valve now, and finish welding the downpipe, a coolant line, and a 100 other details. At least it's mostly in the same place now, and under the hood :D I am also going to fab up a cold air set-up, the filter is just on the turbo inlet to keep junk out ;)

that's purdy.

you must be pushing some major PSI if that air is just going to jump that 18-24" ? gap from the turbo to the intercooler. WOW

Got back at this a bit last night and tonight. All of the fab work is done. I need to take a few parts to Mike for welding, then a little paint and we are ready to go :D I set the inlet of the turbo up so I can put the VAM in place for start-up and tuning, then will add an elbow to put the filter under the frame rail. There are a couple of regular worm drive clamps in the pictures, but I only use them to mock up, everything will be T Bolt Clamps.





Also, picked up one of the new UPR Rock Crusher shifter handles. I have a bit of a reach for my knob when belted in so I'm hoping this moves it back enough to be comfortable. we will see.

[Inkdcountryboy]
