did u just buy mandrel bends for your charge piping?

Re: Completed Turbo EF *Carnage Pics*
 

Thanks guys, I am eager to finish the new set up.

Yes, from Racing Solutions of HMT. Now Im implementing a back door IC and I am going to weld as many of the charge pipes as possible. This will lessen the chance of blowing off the charge pipes.

those ebay pistons you were using mentioned something on there page about how new metalurgy techniques could produce stronger metals without forging right? i had a friend turbo a d15 on 22 pounds and make 302 whp with those pistons. Tuned by Stoopid in houston. They were the least of his problems. He ended up letting a girl drive his car and she never checked the oil and blew his ---- up. Then he rebuilt it and checked it everyday, but didn't check the radiator fluid and ended up overheating it too much and messed it up again. And he blew headgaskets left and right, about one a week. Planed the head, checked the block, used an mls, used a cometic, still nothing helped. He ended up selling it to some ricer on ht for 6k. it was a 93 ex coupe. black with black rota slips. Kid went aipshit when the car didn't even make it home before overheating and popping a headgasket. But as for your car, it looks pretty damn good. I miss my ef alot. Still got my dohc zc to finish building, but all i got to put it in is a 94 4 door and i don't want to buy that obd1 dizzy.

I am going to take Xenocrons advice and do the back door I/C.

In the pic you can see how the new ETD trac bar mounts up. It no longer uses the factory x member bolt locations.

Gotta clean up the wiring, I HATE :7 doing electrical work.

So, I know I am a backwards person, b/c I sent the Z6 block to the machine shop to be bored and decked.
This was done using the ebay Vitaras shown in the previously posted pics.
But, after cracking my stock ringlands, I found out that a forged piston is the best way to go.
So, since the block was machined already to the Vitaras specs, I wasnt certain that the SRP pistons would be the same.
I phoned SRP and they shipped one piston. Tomorrow I will give it to the machine shop to check it into the block. Then I would simply use the Vitaras in the A6 block, b/c . I hope the bore is not too big or else I cannot use the Forged SRP's.
Anyway,
Tell me this is not beautiful.
