      The intercooler is located in the intake, between the base and the lid. moving the turbo back is not an option for various reasons, neither is clocking the compressor in any other orientation.

      Gotcha! So no need to run the intake tubing forward like a radiator mounted intercooler... could you do a big loop like that to the front of the core support anyway and then back to the intake or would that create lag?

      Sorry for all the questions... knowing you I'm sure you already have this figured out and I'm just being a pain trying to learn along the way.

      Having the side entry lid facing the driver's side is an option. That way the charge pipe goes straight in front of the intake and then makes a couple of 90 degree turns to go into the throttle body.

      I just received a couple of 4" 110 degree bends that I am hoping will clear and make a S-shaped intake tube that will allow me to keep the passenger side entry option.

      Made some baby steps today...

      We chose to do this intake orientation, just to make the plumbing path not so arduous. There will be a simple silicone coupler at the throttle body. The rest will be fitted and welded together, with the V-band at the compressor discharge. Still unsure about the hood clearance, but that is a problem for future me.

      You can also see the pump for the A2W intercooler mounted to the fan. The Volt actually had a little water pump mounted in that location.



      I also got and installed the 90 degree fittings from Vintage Air. These will allow us to go straight down with the AC hoses and keep it neat and tidy. We also got the upper radiator hose sorted out with a Dayco D71576.



      One of the Earl's 90 degree swivel heater hose adapters showed up. These will route the hater hoses away from the up-pipe to the turbo. I will probably add high heat sleeving over both of the heater hoses, just in case.



      Lastly, Vic and I finalized the design of the turbo support bracket and it was uploaded to Send Cut Send to be cut out. It will be made from .190" 4130 steel.

      Had another, fairly productive day with Vic today. We started putting the rest of the Holley mid-mount system on the front of the engine, so that we didn't have any surprises down the road. Everything went together pretty well, but this power steering return might become a problem. That's a problem for Future Me...



      I am not sure where Vic got it, but he has the whole Dayco radiator hose catalog as a PDF. I sat down and looked up hoses that were 1.5" I.D. which matches the lower radiator and the thermostat housing hose size. I found this gem. It has 3 usable, tight 90 degree bends and plenty of straight section, and all of it is 1.5" I.D..



      I had also ordered some 1.5" stainless, tight bend J-pipes, one with a 90 degree bend and the other with a 120 degree bend. Both were from Vibrant performance.



      This is the configuration that we chose to do, in conjunction with a swivel thermostat housing.



      In each picture it looks like it is tight in certain areas, but in reality, there is a solid 3/4" of clearance between all critical areas.



      Vic had this nifty, home-made bead rolling tool.



      It took a little effort, but we got a nice bead at each end of the tube.



      This is the final shape of the lower radiator hose. Murray clamps will be used everywhere on the engine.



      Like this one that I got for the intake pipe.



      It is finally starting to look like something...



      The turbo bracket that was made by Send Cut Send should be here on Wednesday. My friend Tom is also coming for a visit from Alabama and our mission is to get the new Ford 9" from Quick Performance installed. I will also get my new rear tires on Wednesday. Should be interesting!

      Looking great Andrew! It looks pretty close to firing up, but I'm sure you have quite a bit more to do. I'll look into the Murray clamps.

      Yes Sir. That's been the case with this build.

      Those are supposedly great clamps. I saw them being used on various Rad Rides builds.

      My friend Blake is a Solid Works wizard and we designed this bracket to support the turbo. I uploaded the file to Send Cut Send and less and a week later I have the part. The holes were left a little undersized on purpose.



      Today the tires showed up. Hopefully they fit (they should according to my calculations).



      I took the bracket to Vic and today he sent me these pictures.











      Pretty excited to finally see the turbo installed without an engine hoist holding it up!

      Maybe there is plenty of room but it looks like this will help with your AC lines. https://www.vintageair.com/custom/pr....php?pn=342311

      Power steering return can be cut off and tapped, then you can thread a 90* fitting in........or put the jones racing reservoir on that pump if like spending money.

      Thanks for the suggestions! Any reason why the vintage Air lines are better than the VA 90° fittings that are on the compressor?

      Between the two I think the 90* fitting would be a bit beefier when it comes to any potential stresses vs the formed and welded manifold.

      Might have missed it in the threads. What intake and intercooler is that?

      It's a Holley Low-ram base, Tick Performance short intercooler, and a Holley fabricated, side entry lid.

      Side note, that intercooler pump is bonkers and moves some volume with the quickness. Jealous of your progress, well done.

      I think it would look better too and offer more clearance so as to not bake the freon from the turbo heat....

      I so love progress. I doubt that you have an unlimited source of funds so progress is often controlled by such. You're putting a lot of effort into this and it shows.
