Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

brakes still have to be ordered. I will be running a TT setup (12.1"). I have the 11.3" brakes already which do a dman fine job but will upgrade. Need carriers and rotors. That's it.

Will likely go to a stainless line as well.

Did you have a set budget for this thing?

[RONDAL]

Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

yes. its the only way to do something like this without ending up on welfare.

everything is "just $10 more" or "just $100 more"

it starts to add up

i got basically everything at super reduced rates. Paid less than what a Stage 1 kinetic kit costs for all my stage 3 goodies, got a $2000 manifold for $500....etc.

There isn't much I have had to pay retail for, and doing my own labor saves boatloads.

LOL it just looks like you get a lot of brown boxes from the mailman and it really doesn't look like you have spared a single expense!

Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

it helps when you have friends working at/owning places like kinetic, MMP, C2, etc.

The bracket for the throttle cable...

where that bracket now sits used to be two coolant lines going into the throttle body. Becuase of how the SRI is positioned and becuase there is no longer a mounting tab on the manifold I had to create a custom throttle cable bracket.
TO do this I pulled out the coolant lines that went to the throttle body and rerouted them (they are useless anyway) and then I pulled out the brass fittings in the throttle body itself.

After that is was the simple task of tapping the holes to there was a thread, and bolting the plate to the throttle body. Voila....new throttle cable bracket.

Also now have this all done, I have edited it slightly and will post the updated one once I scan it to show the catch can, exhaust dump, etc.

But this will do for now.

Installed the frost plug in the secondary air injection hole....threw it in the freezer to shrink it, god does it make it easy.




Then hooked up the oil cooler stuff. Do I need thread sealer on it?





And installed.






GF is here so I can't get much big **** done....next week I can. It's so bloody close its pissing me off now.

Must be nice to have parts form Kinetic that are good to go, I'm still waiting for the MK4 2.0L DBW Stage II kit, been over a year now.
