Another update. Covid kicked my ass, so i sold off my old 5L setup. Progress will probably slow up til the end of the year but ive got plenty of little jobs to do in the meantime.
Mounted up my intercooler (aeroflow 600x300x100) by making up some simple steel brackets, used nutserts for easy install. Has 4 couplers in the system. 90* 4-3 off TB, 90* 3″ on cooler, 76* 3″ on the other side to 3.5-3 straight into the turbo. Will be using sprung tensioned cooler clamps that we use on trucks.
Gave AC tig welding a crack for my alloy cooler piping, welds arent too bad.
Made a DIY “bead roller” consisting of vice grips, an exhaust clamp and a washer. works really well and saved me $400. I also modified my compressor housing by grinding off the vband to a bulge so a 3.5″ silicone coupler slides over, keeps it nice and simple. I also painted my compressor housing and intercooler piping satin black.
In those photos you can also see that i fit a fenix stealth radiator and am trying a bf-fg simple thermo fan this time around, just need to finish making some mounts for the top of it. Radiators a VL rad with a cut down top hose and a Gauge adapter for the steam port (ill be running AN fittings to all the steam ports), just need to figure out what bottom hose to use.
If anyone knows of a super slim 5″ pod filter let me know. Im gonna be running an aeroflow turbo guard for fun duties, but would really like a filter for cruising around. Between turbo and rad support is around 80mm, so i need a filter that overall (inculding flange) is 100mm, without trimming the lip. Closest ive found is k&n do a 130mm long one.
The rodshop used a ford falcon au v8 bottom hose in this LS build .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMQhh8yDosE&list=PLjCIbuyxavSJcvExD7z0fGMsnODn72hyY&index=7
