very nice!!!!!!
I have been looking to this thread probably since the beginning but i gotta say
i can't wait for some videos!!!!

 

It's all a pipe dream. When you wake up you will find that the hoses only "fit" because they are cross threaded.

At least thats how it always seems to work for me.

 

Intake that is red will be black next week.

 

is it back in austin yet? haha

 

Yip

 

Keep it up!

 

Nice, any ideas on what you're going to do for the hood?

 

That is the sexist thing I have ever seen! Its like the hottest **** star but in ranger form... if that makes sense

 

so is it on a trailer at sonic or does it move on its own yet??

 

I don't think he's started it yet.

 

Nice!

 

wow. Just wow. ****ing awesome

 

OK, well for the 3rd, and hopefully last time, the engine came out today. WHen we first had talked about doing the twins, we were thinking doing both up top, then we found out how little room there was. Unfortunately, I had tapped a -12 fitting on the drivers side of the motor, (dumb on my part), and since the LP turbo is on the passenger side, I needed to tap the pan on the passenger side, SOOOOOO out it came, as there is zero room to do it in the truck. The engine had to be moved over on the mounts just a touch because the steering was touching the drivers side manifold anyway, so I was gonna have to do that anyway. Now it is tapped with a -8 line, and ready to be finished. I also removed the intake and repainted it black, so it doesn't look like a beach ball anymore with the blue intake pipes. While I had the front end off, I was not happy with how the Radiator mount looked, so I took it out and re did it the way I should have done it the first time. Tomorrow, the front end goes back on, and I am gonna plumb up the radiator, water injection, and get the fuel lines run from the tank to the engine. I am gonna move the Painless Solenoid inside the truck, AGAIN tomorrow also. No pics tonight, Had to cut the grass, clean the boat for this weekend and do domestic chores. I'll post some more tomorrow.

 

oh the suspense

 

OK, did a bunch today. Mounted the snow Water/Meth kit, No the wiring is not gonna stay like that:



With the Modified HP oil system, the FICM, (Fuel Injection Control Module), would no longer mount in its regular spot, so I made a custom mount.



Mounted the Coolant overflow bottle, (its a 6.0, god knows it will use it). Looks like its in the way of the turbo in this pic, but its not.



Ran Nitrous and water lines to the intake Horn, the other two spots will be for Temperature, and Boost Pressure gauges.



Removed my crappy radiator mount, and did it the way I should have the first time, the right way, and I cut out the hood latch, and hinge mounts, not gonna need either of those again. Also removed the radiator cross member support from the middle so I can get the fans on there.

 

SWEEETTTTT!!! I wanty...

 

How in the heck is the hood going to fit lol

 

You can just send it to me and i'll drive it until you finish my truck when i send it to you.

Okay? sweet!

Haha looks great man

 

That is what I was thinking.

 

GOnna have to be a full custom hood pinned down. A regular hood is not gonna work. Especially since I cut out the hinges and latch mechanism today. LOL

Probably look a lot like my buddies S-10 hood. Its got a Cummins in it BTW




Or like this:

 

damn your one determined fawker, i know you know lots of people.. but still ha

it just looks like a huge maze of wires/hoses that just boggles my mind. why is there one pipe off the turbo thats not blue?

 

Exhaust.

 

now i understand what pipes go where and do what

 

That is the "hot Pipe" it connects the exhaust between the 2 turbos. It will be ceramic coated, and wrapped in a heat blanket.

 

Sry, but that S-10 made me barf a little. The tires on the front are too small, and that hood is atrocious. Go with something more like the second hood, for the love of god.
