Originally posted by warmonger: No, no jig. I didn't fab the headers themselves, I only redesigned the piping after them and repaired some problems with them.
I have new pictures, but this post is so loaded with them that I will not burden the readers with more. I will (someday) try to make another webpage dedicated to the turbo build-up and tie it together with my old 3L site.
I have a 80mm Pro-M maf and 36# injectors to put in soon, but I was sweating where I was going to fit the darn thing because it was so damn big. I think I have that worked out so now I just have to get the intake pipe welded together to install the filter in the fender. I found aluminum cheap on www.onlinemetals.com since I already have a spearco core so all I have to do is order in the parts and begin designing it. My 'get running' to do list: - install injectors - complete intake pipe and install with MAF - construct intercooler and install - install blow-off valve - plumb the vacuum and pressure lines - install boost gauge and pressure sensor - construct water tank for intercooler - plump lines for intercooler/heat exchanger
Finishing touches: - manual/electrical boost controller - turbo timer - A/F gauge
I can help you with the turbo timer install when the time comes. Sure, I should've made a how-to, but I am lazy and I am finding people will use it as a crutch for calling me a "Contour wannabe know-it-all" ....
