Fabricating and Welding Provided by Vic's Welding!
- Its come time for me to learn how to weld! I will visit my fabricator buddy Victor Kermode! If you ever need affordable fabricating or welding in Edmonton give him a call. 780-483-7360 his rates are very good and he is a certified Pressure welder how perfect is that for a turbo system!
- All the parts are togather and over at Vic's place now (Sept 25th / 06) The Tig Welder is ready to go we did a few test cut and welds on Sunday they came out really nice. Vic is very confident this wont be that hard.
The Plan
Starting Saturday Morning (30th sept) I will take the car over to Vic's tear down the Powerdyne BD11a Blower Set and package it up for sale.
Saturday
- Drain Radiator, remove serpentine belt.
- Plug all holes entering engine.
- Remove Oil Filter, and install 90% degree Oil Adapter.
- Remove Old Headers, flip around so exaust exits are pointing at the front of the car.
- Relocate TFI Module to under the passanger fender.
- Move all wiring harness's from the front passenger corner to behind the frame rail and behind the cold side piping that will be running up the inner fender.
- Build brackets to mount intercooler. Pick position for interooler. Mount and fasten intercooler.
- Jack car up and learn the path of the swaybar.
- Grind ears on alternator bracket that meet up with the smog pump.
Our first day on this project took about 12 hrs of time for us (Vic and Myself) to get the par prepared for the turbo. And come up with our pipe routing, mounting location etc. Remeber we have never built a turbo system for a car.
After explaining the hot side to Vic and showing him some forum pics of other DIY SN95 Turbo projects. We placed some elbows to see our space confinements and its very tight once all the accessories end up back in the car.
Sunday
- Grind Ball Flanges off old headers. Clean the ends up for welding on some 2.5" pipe and a Vband.
- Using 2 90 degree elbows and the exast flex joint we make our cross over pipe and Up pipe for the turbo bracket.
- Mount turbo exaust housing to the up pipe.
- Setup Downpip 3.5" vband to exaust housing. Build flared end to taper down to 3" downpipe.
- Route and build 3" downpipe.
By the end of the 2nd day it looked like a turbo kit installed into the car. This is where it started to get harder. Once we "Mocked up the Cold side" with the hot in place we were pretty tight on space for our cold side out from the turbo down past the abs unit.
After sorting out the remainign cold side, i built all the IAC connection stuff, MAf tapers into the pipe relocate any sensors to the new spots.
We were pretty tired from Day 1 and not quite as fast but today we mounted piping to the old head
