My old man surprised me by installing my cross member while I was at work. He said it was a simple install and all the bolt holes lined up perfectly.

I finally got my repaired rim back and the tire mounted!!

I decided to buy a billet lowering block kit from mustangs unlimited, I'm glad I did, the cars stance is pretty spot on to when I used the wheel fit 45.

Thanks Andrew. As of right now I'm pretty sure the turbo will stay in its same location. I bought a ton of mandrel bends, most likely more than necessary to finish the hot and cold side. The plan is to run a vertical 90* off of the passenger manifold and another 90*from the drivers side manifold past the balancer and 90* up into a dual 2.5" to 3" formed collector I have. The turbo inlet will then 90* to the top of the collector. Since the collector will be vertical I have a straight path for the waste gate, the compressor housing will be relatively close to it. The outlet will have to be 2 sorta 3" S bends that will transition to 3.5" pipe that will go over the passenger valve cover and down behind the head and idler arm. I will have to shave the coil mounts off of my holley valve covers. I only bought them because they are vented on both sides. Im running them flipped, the oil fill will be by the master cylinder.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2016/08/pic5-1.jpg

At the moment I didn't plan to run an intercooler. I was just going to run a 2.5" pipe over the fans and 90* into the throttle body with a silicone reducer. It is possible however to rotate the compressor housing and drill a hole in the fender apron and run a 180* loop to piping to a small intercooler behind the grill. then 180* out to another hole in the drivers side apron.

I rotated mine down and cut a spot of the apron for the pipe to fit then snaked it around to connect to the intercooler. I highly suggest running an IC if you're staying EFI, unless you run E85. Don't mind the hose clamps, they make for quick mock up.

Got a new toy today! picked up a harbor freight deep cut band saw and ordered a swag off road table to mount it. I tested it out today and noticed that the slit in the table for the blade needs to be opened up. my blade is rubbing it causing it to bow in slightly and cause a cooked cut.

Very cool. I like it. However, my two cents tells me you are going to restrict a ton of airflow with such a small filter. Often over looked area of the build with turbo cars is the small filter arrangement. If you can slide it back and allow for at least a 6" filter you will gain considerable tuning and power. Don't worry about heat you can fix that with fuel. However flow is important to power especially with turbo's and MAS air systems like the GM. When I worked for an unnamed air filter company I learned how important this is.You would be surprised to learn that air flow occurs at the last 60% of the air filter on a conical style air filter when mounted to a tube or turbo. So the more surface area you have the more flow and more tuning and power. Maybe you might not have room and don't want bends at the turbo inlet, but it is okay as long as you keep it a to a minimum number of bends and large enough in diameter. Just a thought and keep up the great work...

The saw table is awesome! I cut a lot of tube today and was very surprised that my butt joints lined up really good. I am still trying to find the best way to mark angle cuts on my mandrel bends. Also trying to figure out how angle cuts move the pipes. Almost done with the inlet hot pipes. i have the drivers side tube mocked up but no pictures of it. Here is the passenger side merge collector to a 1/2" thick 3" tube to T4 flange.

I need to find a set of wheels. I keep seeing deals and low prices for mustangs. Have to find them for my chevelle

Have a look at Jegs.com. I have always found sales on wheels there. I just picked up a set of the Mustang Bullet Replicas in 17X8 and 18X10 for 390 shipped to my door. They are the OE brand out of Florida

I got most of the hot side done today. I think it turned out okay. Lets just say cutting and fitting mandrel bends is not easy!

I have a fingers gap between the crank pulley and the pipes. I had to re-route the pipes to make room for the lower radiator hose. I picked up some 90* silicone elbows and plan on running a 90 from the radiator and an aluminum pipe that will 90 to the straight outlet on the water pump.

Next on the list is to build the outlet from the turbo and over the valve cover. Then find a good location to drill a hole for the waste gate. I was thinking of putting it on the 3" 90* bend that enters the T4 flange. The exhaust flow would go straight up into it. Then i would tie it into the down pipe.

Where is the waste gate going? Ideally you want it going straight up right after your merge.

exactly. i am going to add a small length of 1.75 pipe and mount the waste gate on the 3" elbow that is welded to the t4 flange. I am using a 45mm turbo smart hyper gate. I need to remove my compressor housing on my turbo and drill it for a vacuum fitting to reference the waste gate.

I'm liking the turbo stuff--I find it motivating. On some level, it seems that the plotting of components is actually more difficult than the actual pipe fab, especially without an awesome quantity of space. Your pipe looks good so far.

On a side note, one thing I picked up from the all-too knowledgeable Sloppy Mechanics is the idea of a smaller hot pipe (2" vs. 2.5") feeding into the merge, which is supposed to afford quicker spooling (less lag/suspense). I'm sure this is also relative to the size of your turbo unit. I should know more in five years . . .

Keep at it!

It's an ON3 Performance 76/68 .80ar T4 turbo. It was under $400. Seems reliable by many LS1 tech users and their Instagram page.

It should spool up nice and quick with a hot side that size.

I hope my rear gears aren't too much for the street. I was told my 8.8 had 3.73 gears. I was thinking maybe 3.23 would be safer on the street to stay out of boost at a cruising rpm. I guess I will find out when I get it on the street.

I got quite a bit done today. I went down to Global West's headquarters and picked up a tubular export brace. I was told by the sales associate that the brace was in redesign and they didn't have any in stock. Another guy in the back said I could buy a pre-production model that was raw and un-powdercoated. I gladly bought the brace and raced home to test fit it. I didn't have too much difficulty installing it, however I will need to make some spacers for the cowl area. It doesn't bolt flush to the cowl and I don't want to bend the cowl when I tighten the bolts down.

Next on the list was to modify the Holley valve covers for more down pipe space. I cut the coil mounts off and attacked them with a 40 grit flap disc on my grinder. I will DA them with a lighter grit and have them powdercoated. Fortunate for me holley casted these well and the coil mounts has lots of meat behind them

The original plan was to use two three inch 90* elbows and have them wrap around the shock tower and mate up with the 3.5" down pipe. It looked ugly and it was difficult use the formed 3" to 3.5" transition section I had. I shifted gears and ended up only using a 5" long piece of three inch tubing at a 45* angle and matted that up to my transition and another 45* 3.5" piece of tubing. I like the way it turned out.

I tossed the intake on for fun. Found out that I don't need to cut my block to run my LS6 valley tray and that the stock fuel rail just clears the export brace and gives me enough clearance to slide the intake in under it. I plan to run holley fuel rails. I hope they fit.

As for the waste gate. I cut a length of 1.75" pipe at a 45* angle and taped it to the merge pipe. I didn't have my dremel with me so I will modify the merge later, but I did mock up the waste gate. I might just dump it right into the down pipe. I planned on running the dump pipe the length of the down pipe but not quite sure about tieing that in when I have to worry about O2 sensor location down stream.

Not much of an update at all. I went by Global West again and picked up one of their monte carlo bars. I got to talking with the guys there about my project and was invited to the back of their warehouse to check out a 66 mustang they built to showcase all of their suspension. What a awesome gesture! The car had fixed back Corbeau racing seats and an Ididit tilt column. I'm 6 feet tall and I had room to spare sitting in that car. They said on my next visit in they would dig up all of the part numbers on the seats and brackets for me. I am now leaning towards Corbeau as a seating option for the car.

Anyway, the monte carlo bar fits awesome. I still need to drill holes in the brackets but just mocking it up and setting the hood on the car I have plenty of clearance above the intake and the hood.

Since real estate is filling up fast on my firewall with that huge export brace in the way the next step is to order the fuel rails, fuel pressure regulator, and the vacuum manifold so I mount them all to the firewall or make brackets for the back of the cylinder heads. I am also swinging towards a wilwood master cylinder.

Correct. I have the plate. Just didn't install it. My Cowl is covered in seam sealer and i need to grind down the pinch welds some to make it fit flush.

Sorry for the delay on progress. School and work have been keeping me busy. I managed to finish the down pipe, now I am stuck waiting on some parts to arrive in the mail.

I tacked a support to the tube until i can get the rest of the exhaust welded up.

I decided to make the pipe removable just above the frame. It may looks close but its the the OD of the v band clamp. I plan to weld a flex joint directly to the v band outlet then run a 90* bend under the car. The exhaust will be very basic and tuck up tight towards the floor. I made a crude pass through notch in my transmission cross member with some 3/16 plate. I plan on ordering a 3.5" in/out dynomax race bullet and dump it under the rear seat floor pans in front of the axle.

I ordered a 4" cobra head coupler for the turbo in an attempt to run a larger air filter. If it will fit I will angle the coupler straight down and cut out the battery tray area and place the filer outside of the engine bay. It should fit behind the front apron.

DCx

11-11-2016, 10:51 PM

Not a huge update but I got a few hours in on the car and finalized the routing of the exhaust from the down pipe. The flex joint I picked up would not fit between the frame and the bell housing of the trans so I opted to place it down below.

The exhaust hangs a but lower than my subframe connectors. The floor pans in the rear will be an issue and force me to make a slight dip in the piping.

Among other things I picked up some Holley LS fuel rails, Aeromotive A1000 FPR, and a vacuum manifold that bolts to the rear of a LS cylinder head, along with weld bungs needed for the oil drain, O2 sensor, and the AIT sensor.

My cobra head coupler arrived. I almost forgot I ordered this thing!

It is made out of very heavy rubber. It should fit perfectly between the core support and turbo. There is no way for me to just cut a hole in the core support to run a longer filter because the headlight bucket and the hood bumper are in the way. It will have to be relocated down below.

I also dreamed up an idea to mount a long rectangular intercooler behind the front valance between the park lights. I would have to cut a large hole where the licence plate mounts to and secure the intercooler to the frame using some flat stock. It should work out just fine to route the charge pipe thru the battery apron behind the head light extension. There is loads of room there and no interference with the front wheels.

I finished my exhaust today! i began to route it under the floor and along side of the sub frame connector but realized that it would hang too low. I got all technical and made the exhaust turn upward and follow the driveshaft. I inserted an old 69 camaro TH400 driveshaft I have kickin around and ziptied it to the 8.8 rear u joint flange. The drive shaft is 2" too short but provided the space necessary to mock up the exhaust.

I hung the 12" bullet muffler with 3.5 U clamp and a studed L rod and rubber mount I got on ebay. Worked out great. I ended up drilling out the floor and inserting a 3/8 bolt to secure the rubber mount.

I still need to fabricate a turn down.

Among other things, I think I am going to ditch the Vband that connects to the down pipe. I ordered male/female locking flanges and now I am having a hell of a time getting it to seat properly. I ordered some basic 3.5" header collector rings and gaskets to replace them with. I got some 3/8 thick flanges to reduce warping. Also, I think I can tuck the flex coupler more by modifying the down pipe once i cut off the V bands. All in all, I am very pleased with the Exhaust It hangs no lower than The sub frame connectors past the door. I bet it still has better clearance than some headers, especially big block FE headers. lol

damn you craigslist...

well this just happened... I found one hell of a deal on a complete T56 swap from a 2002 camaro ss. The guy i bought it from got a complete LS1 swap for his sand buggy and priced this trans to sell immediately. I was given an Fbody adjustable clutch master, flywheel, and a well used clutch. lol.

Any how... all the T56 goodies and have been ordered. I opted for the modern drive line hydraulic clutch kit as well as a LS7 clutch. If i keep the turbo i will run way lower boost to keep it all together.

Looks like my thread died due to photobucket! I may possibly re-start this build thread since the direction of the car has changed so many times.

On the upside i completed my MBA this past Monday and I now have all sorts of time to work on my mustang! to fill the void i went out and bought a new 2017 GT for a steal.

Testing my new Imgur account...

I made an Imgur account and will be uploading my project pics to it.

Hey guys if you are subbed to this page please follow my new build of this car in this link. Photobucket ruined this page plus this build thread was all over the place and hosted many many build blunders.

I recently found that there are extensions for Firefox and Chrome that allow you to see the original posts. I just went through this whole thing and could see all the pics like normal.

IIRC, the extension for chrome is called "photobucket hotlink fix" by Bridgetroll.

The Firefox one is "photobucket embed fix" and I can't remember the author.

Both work great for me. I found out about them from someone in Keepat's Charger build thread.

Hurry up and finish the '67 so you can LS swap the '17! lol
