Turbo mounting will be fun. Bout damn time I hear you say you are mounting the turbo.
Crossing my fingers for you that everything mounts and fits. I would def. make some room for that wastegate. Need to tune around the area with my favorite tool... the hammer :) |
The BFH is a valuable tool. What are you doing for heat shielding around the turbo? My chassis around the turbo is toasted, I will be removing the turbo to add heat shielding here pretty soon.

I guess we'll see what happens lol.

As far as heat shielding goes I'm using DEI Floor and Tunnel Shield(Floor & Tunnel Shield II - Heat & Sound Insulation 050507 | Purchase DEI, CryO2, Ny-Trex, Boom Mat & SPA Turbo Products | Design Engineering, Inc. - Thermal Performance Products), it says it's rated to 1750 degree direct temps. I'm also using Insultherm UltraFlexx Pro Sleeving (WireCare.com :: Your Cable Management SuperStore!) it's a really nice braided fiberglass sleeving that I'll be using on the Coolant and Oil Lines, it's rated for 1200 degrees and has a melting point of over 2000 degrees. |
Nice. That should work out great. I tried several coats of a high temp paint and it was burnt off in like a week, :lol:

Yea the High Temp Paint will do nothing as far as insulating, it's just made to withstand higher temps and not burn off. |
What size sheet are you getting for the thermal sleeve?
I am thinking about getting the 21" X 24" (3.5 Sq. Ft.) for my Greddy Kit. |

Good news is the Turbo is mounted and everything fit initially...
Bad News is, it has to come off again because after clocking the compressor housing the Wastegate actuator doesn't fit properly and is hitting the Chassis. I think I'm going to make the Actuator bracket somewhat adjustable this time around. Also the intake piping is hitting the Engine Mount bracket so I have to figure out what I'm going to do there. |
Are you still using OEM engine mounts or have you switched over to something like the Race Roots bracket? Might provide more room.
This build thread is diamonds. |

I should mention that my air filter gets wet in that location when washing the car. You may want to consider a shield on top of it to deflect water.
|
I also ordered that DEI tunnel shield also. Hoping to get it sometime early next week. I need to finish my boost build since it has taken me 9 months :yelrotflm

wats ur schedule to first start-up?

you cant rush these things. attention to detail is what has made this build take as long as it has. I am sure Kyle is anxious to drive the car again but slow and precise is how he rolls.
