dek out and ready to sell $600


3.5 carbon fiber engine cover (i have to reclear it)


3.5 (i have to clean her up before it put it in)


fuel rail setup


rc 550's


i will post more pictures soon

 

Fuel rail setup looks good, how come you didnt eliminate the bridge on the driver side of the rail? that way fuel is forced to travel through the entire rail before it exist.

 

oh i see what ur saying should i get rid of it?

 

Up to you, run it like that first and see if u have leaning issues. I am sure you wont either way. so leave it for now

 

well now we know where second2none stuff went

 

Negative, that is not second2none's stuff.

 

^ correct

 

interesting, keep us posted, im still not convinced about boosting the 3.5, im still partial to turbo dek over stock rod 3.5... looking forward to your dyno

 

I would eliminate that bridge in the fuel rails. What aftermarket fpr are you using?

 

aeromotive

 

 

Are your internals stock?

 

oh my cant wait to see this finished

 

I want see this finished

 

started mocking the fuel lines up today

feed


return


fuel pump


fuel filter


(the zip ties are just temporary)

 

nice progress

 

When is this car going to start up, laggin........

 

 

i know this is long over due but i've been very busy the past year with work school and working on cars on the side. but i started working on the car again. when i had the dek in the car i was running a reverse feed turbo setup. now with the 3.5 i've decided to redo all the turbo piping and do a forward feed turbo setup.





this is as far as i got so far on the piping with the motor out of the car. i'll finish the rest when the motor and tranny are inside the car. right now im working on removing the old 5 speed mount of off the drivers side frame rail so i can weld on the new 6 speed mount. also i do plan on reinforcing the front motor mount i just havent done it yet

 

you are going to have alot of problems removing a installing that feedpipe without a flange

 

theres no room for a flange and it comes off in one piece just fine

 

LOL, let me know how it goes in when the motor is in the car

 

i put the motor in today and its fine. what size if your downpipe?

 

3inches

 

are you on a 5 speed tranny?

 

Yes, the setup in my sig is 3inches also on a 5spd tranny

 

ya im looking at it now im on a 6 speed and the starter is in the front unlike yours. i have to do some figuring out for my downpipe

 

Try running it over the transmission, towards the firewall. It's easier on the 6 speed because of the location of the starter like you said. That is how Speed Force Racing runs the downpipe on their 5.5 gen turbo kit.

 

hmmm theres alot of stuff on top the tranny like the shifter cables and the wiring harness i would rather not make the downpipe go over top the tranny

 

I was worried about that as well. I have a modifed PFI kit on my 5.5 gen and have been considering changing up how the downpipe is run under the trans. If you want, take a look at rrodrigues77 for sale thread with his turbo 5.5 gen and see how he has everything run. It is a very clean setup.

 

^ good looking out bro

 

I was just installing my old setup on a 5.5gen and there is room to run a dp over the tranny. Not sure about 3inch but 2.5 no problem also my old feed and dp fit on a 5.5gen even with the starter. It's a tight fit and maybe only like a 1/4inch clearance between the starter soleniod and feedpipe but it fits and was able to retain the oem fans.

If your worried about ground clearance make a custom mount motor and run the dp back across the cross member and under the oil pan. I made one for my new setup and can email or text you some pics if you want

 

I wanted to run my downpipe over the top of the trans as well, but It seemed like it was going to have to be too close to a lot of stuff...

 

im going to do my downpipe infront and under the tranny

 

Care to send me pictures? My cell is 774-313-7191.

 

pics sent

 

i hate the way my downpipe is setup (Under the tranny on the driverside) i had 2 diffrent turbo setups with the same downpipe route, i had to raise the car up and pls its a hassle in the snow i wouldnt recommend it

 

...Are those headers custom? The primaries look hella long.

 

that front header seems to join at a 90 deg angle, id try to angle it a little more for better flow. m going to assume this is a built 3.5 since you are replacing a very boost friendly 3.0 for it???

 

on my old setup i had a reverse feed and my car was slammed and i scraped alot of ****. im going to raise the car up just a little this time

they are just regular long tubes i sold my shorty headers and got these ones.

its a stock 3.5 i got rid of the 3.0 and the 5speed bcuz i kept fuking up 3rd gear and the 5 speeds are hella hard to fine and mad money so i got a good deal on a 3.5 with a 6 speed.
