So I recently bought a manifold from a friend of mine, he had a shop in az make it. I'm just wondering how I'm going to fit the down pipe in. I'm guessing I will need to scrap the ac too.

 

Yep your going to need a new down pipe, dump tube, and all new lines for the turbo. There is a guy on here who makes a half rad that will allow you to keep your ac you should look it up I can't remember his name but you can search forward facing mani ac and I found his link. That would be an option. But along with that upper ic pipe will have to change being different spot of the turbo as well.

 

I'm doing the swap in the next couple weeks to follow I will post picks of the fab process!

 

Sweet looking forward to seeing what you have in stock for us to check out.

 

Pte sent me a vband for some reason so im going to cut the t3 off and weld a vband on

 

So I got the turbo and mani fold in a bunch of other stuff done today.

 

Gnar Gnar. looks similar to full race top mount.

Specs on block?

6266 or 6466?

 

it's a 6266

 

So right now the block is stock built head with 272 cams. I think with this turbo we should be able to keep the tq down and get around 550 has a aeromotive 340 fuel pump and 1150 fic injectors. I won't be surprised if the numbers are lower the gas here in Hawaii is pretty bad. I going to e85 once the car is in az but that won't be till 2018

 

All buttoned up

 

Nice.
I heared a fp red is more hard on the stock block then a 6266 due to spool character.

 

So the down pipe was challenging lol but it done today I'll be working on the rest for the exhaust. I'm having a problem with coolant temps thought my gauge fluctuates below half, but evo scan tells me that it gets up to 210 on long up hills

 

Are you using the stock fan module for the fan?

 

Yes

 

Maybe try using stock fan see what happens
