R1cefed's turbo build.

[r1cefed]

I have some LS# fuel rails and some tall fabbed ls1/2/3 valve covers if anyone wants them.

[PWND3r]

Got some info on those valve covers, and a price?

[r1cefed]

Sorry man somebody already bought them.

[r1cefed]

Some recent pictures all ready except one hose I need to get from Parker store.

You need to ditch that 10 bolt ASAP

[c0ncEpT]

And wrap that exhaust

[r1cefed]

I know Ryan lol. 10 bolt is only in until tax time. I do not have enough cash to spend 2300$ + driveshaft and drag bar. That is why I am tuning it at 5 psi right now. I just wont touch my boost controller until my S60 is in.

As for wrapping I think that it looks hideous under the car. I am going to see how it runs un wrapped and if I have a spool issue (which I am not expecting) I will have to wrap them.

Only other thing I wanted to do was make another tailpipe reduce down off of that open wastegate so I can have 2 tailpipes out the back instead of this hillbilly looking single pipe that is on there now.

Also I hate the fiiler location. I know it will suck shit up. I would like to maybe extend it behind the bumper cover or make a cover/box for it from sheet metal or maybe even plastic if I can find some that looks decent. Anybody have any ideas how to protect it? Car wont see rain I just more the less want a dust cover.

[ThreeHonks]

ok good. Cause there would be no point to this build if you were keeping the 10 bolt... adding more power with no way to put it to the ground is pointless.


Roll racing

[r1cefed]

Hell no that p.o.s would have been gone long ago if my motor didn't shit on me end of summer.

[r1cefed]

I have an idle and rev clip of the car finally running. Now I need a tuner. It actually runs pretty smooth it should be a real sleeper. Under the hood looks nearly stock 5.7 now.

The filter is off in this clip so I could let it dry but it is all ready now.... hopefully

[Fox Slaughter]

Need dual tail pipe mod.

[r1cefed]

big time.. I was telling Jeff that I was making a 2nd pipe off the wastegate. I cannot stand the 1 tailpipe.

[PWND3r]

There are covers for the filter that you can put around it. They're waterproof and everything, fairly cheap as well. As for exhaust wrap, it'll get torn up by the elements and rocks, unless you tie it every inch or so but those metal zip ties are expensive. I'd run it just like that, just keep the oil lines and everything as far from the heat as possible.

[OIF1VET]

Sounds very good man...

So why an S60? I have also thought about an S60 and most everyone is saying they will ***** slap me if I go S60... Really curious what steered you that way.. Thanks!

[r1cefed]

Thanks guys,

Joe, I have that filter skin and metal sheild as well but it still just seems like it will be constantly having shit thrown into it being where it is at. As for the heat wrap I could not agree with you more on it. It not only frays and looks like crap but if it somehow got soaked in oil it is begging to start a fire. I may try angling the filter way up or even making an extention pipe to get the filter behind the bumper cover or maybe make a sort of rubber or plastic flap to cover it. It is probably fine as is but it just worries me.

Larry, DTS was actualy the ones that suggested a s60 over a 9" due to the way the differentials work a S60 is better for street driving/cornering so they say. I know it is heavy as hell but with my car still being a M6 and me coming from a 10 bolt I would like to go overkill on the rear end for piece of mind. The other thing that attracted me to the s60 was floating hubs so if an axle were to break (which it probably wouldnt but "what if") The tire and broken axle would not come out and crash the car. The only thing that I would like more just for the cool factor would be a Moser m9 fabbed housing but I am not made of $$.
