sold the procharger, going twins!

[Seneca]

Got alot of enjoyment out of the procharger, but time for something new, going to be a very slow drawn out build. Still have everything to do. Rear, engine, trans, fuel system. I will keep you all updated as best as I can as I make progress. Engines at machine shop now. Teksid block std bore 4.6 forged everything fully studded top and bottom. Low compression. 8.5.1 price was right on pistons is why the comp. Is so low, gonna be return fuel system planning on e85 trans will be built. Rear im not sure yet. I have a 05 31 spline rear but may toss that in favor of a 9in we shall see. Oh ya.. and the good stuff. A pair of precision 62mm billet wheel turbos :) have patience!

That's perfect for a tiny 281 cubic inch motor , I think people often forget just how small our motors actually are!

On a twin setup I wouldn't go any bigger than 66mm turbos.

[Seneca]

Just a teaser while in the rough tomorrow im gonna relocate the abs pump and mount the left side

[Zack]

Are you deleting the AC?

[Seneca]

Nope will still have ac, possibly a different condenser. I think I can use oem with custom lines, not really worried about that till the turbos are plumbed.

[MOTOWN]

Looking forward to seeing this play out! the only major obstacle will be that bulky aluminum Xmember clearing the down pipes.

K member fabrication under way.. should be finished later today. This is going to allow the exhaust to be tucked up into the k member atleast a 1 1/2 so it'll hang an 1 1/2 under the k member as well.. she be atleast as strong as oem if not better getting plated inside...

[crownvic05]

I guarantee I'm saving weight. I can wait till they pull mine out. Cheers!

[Seneca]

Ready to install.... i cant take credit for this.. i got the idea from rich. Inthetens and a good friend of mine did the fab work, im so pleased with how it turned out! As for weight I'll weight it later and let u know. Its actually pretty light tho.. im gonna guess.. 40lbs..

[TooManyFords]

That looks really good!

[MMBLUE]

Now that thar is some fabbin.

Looks good!

[Logizyme]

How much clearance will you have once the steering gear is bolted back on. Seems like the steering gear might take up a portion of those new tunnels you just made. Just curious.

[Zack]

You should have dumped the exhaust out the front bumper like a boss.

[Seneca]

Already checked.. clears fine..
Bumper exit would have been sweet!!!

[justbob]

That looks killer! I didn't think cast Aluminum could be welded?


Builder Of Badassery

[Logizyme]

Oh sweet - I guess it was just the angle of the one pic.

This is a sweet project.

[Seneca]

I was very concerned about the rack also. It worked out good tho,
As for cast aluminum the guy that welded mine welds cast all the time. I thought the same thing. He said the k member was a good cast. Some cast wont weld it just melts away.

[WhatsUpDOHC]

You (all) are some talented MoFos.

no worries here, reinventing the wheel isnt for everyone, im very comfortable and confident with all modifications performed so far. If im not comfortable like with the k member i got someone whos dealt and experienced in those areas to perform the modification. Thanks for the concern just the same

Hopefully i will have this bolted in the weekend so i can order the rest of my exhaust piping.

[Seneca]

And its in! Now to run pipe

[Comin' in Hot]

I just got caught up on the build and for the first time ever, I agree with lifespeed. The general rule of thumb when notching a structural piece is a maximum of 1/3 the depth in a steel boxed frame and this is more than 1/2 in cast aluminum.

Was anything added inside the crossmember that we can't see?

Cool. One thing I will mention that I learned when I built a turbo boat engine is the short coupling of hot exhaust for the wastegate causes a mismatch of thermal expansion. Think shorty cobra headers cracking.

To avoid this the wastegate connection is made with Inconel bellows.

Finally decided on an intercooler
Went with the smaller 3×6×25 treadstone unit. Rated at 1453cfm and 1000hp i was to much cutting involved to fit the big core. I think this will suit me fine! Not mounted yet but fits like a glove and the mounting tabs will even work!

It slides out and then tilts up when you activate it.
Otherwise it folds flat and slides back for 'storage'.

That is pretty trick!! I think my chin spoiler may effect its performance tho. :(

[justbob]

I think your chin spoiler is going to rob more of your airflow than the plate.


Builder Of Badassery

[Seneca]

Do u think it will even tho my cooler doesn't hang beneath the bumper? I had it before because my procharger intercooler was slightly below my bumper and didnt like seeing it

[justbob]

It is going to take any air that might have slid under the bumper and up or the air damn under the radiator "might" have thrown north bound into it and immediately whisk it off to the sides I thinks.

But I wouldn't touch anything till you've had time to data log IATs as is. If you need to lower them or are just curious you could always remove it and compare your results or even add a fan kit.

Air flow does some seriously strange things at any given speed!!!

I was really concerned about completely altering my radiator in all aspects. I.E. Size, location, elevation, straight up to now tilted, fan, shroud, all 695 plastic trim pieces that direct flow all around and under it, ECT. And for one of the very very few times in my over complicated life it actually worked, pretty much too well in fact. Pure luck. It was really my only "real" hurdle out of doing this last build.

I had it already doomed as a failed idea but I was at a serious loss of other options besides boxing out the sides where it tilts as my next step. Luckily my mental block paid off...

IATs were the ENTIRE idea behind getting away from roots. Well boredom and the desire to be different played a small part as well. [emoji6]

The plate is removable for car shows and the like. It is an alternative to drilling into the bumper. I think the company is called Big Mikes, they are out in California. PM HaggyBaby for the exact name.

I ended up having to use 3 90 degree bends on each charge pipe . Theyre surprisingly very short tho! Gonna have a bunch of 2.5 in left tomorrow I'll take these into work and roll a bead on the ends i had to cut.
Now for the 3in inlet pipe. Thats gonna be fun. Things are actually starting to get tight.

looks great, saved a lot using those pipes, aluminum?

whats next? yes sir saved me from buying a piping kit! And the bends worked out great. They appear to be aluminized steel. Same as my procharger pipes. I did use aluminum for the turbo to intercooler pipes.
Next is weld the hangers on. The. Pull the engine and trans the fun stuff. Trans needs beefed up and i need to swap parts to my new engine

Have you incorporated electric cutouts into this build?
If not, you need them. Trust me

I have a dual set of 2 1/2" Badlanz custom S.S. ones. I removed them in favor of all new S.W. Exhaust. I had them factory rebuilt right before removal if your interested.

They also have the S.S. custom WYE's and turn downs. Also a set of block off plates. (One is home made)

Trans is out and the engine is just setting on the k member. I'm sending the trans to the shop this week and. Hopefully tomorrow I'll lift the motor out and get started on the change over.. I have everything accept gaskets for my new long block. All that is needed is lots of time. I'm still aiming to have it running by spring

[Seneca]

I've had alot going on many family issues, my mom passed, now my dad's not doing to well.
I have been working on the car just not as much as I'd like to. I did get the engine assembled, cams degreed. I got the trans back some time ago, it's ready to go in as soon as I installthe engine, I did end up modifying my timing chain tensioners, there have been issues with the ratcheting device holding to much tension on the guides under extreme loads two step trans brake, the ratchet won't allow the tensioners to relax, there are a couple different ways to take care of the concern, I just ground off the 1st or last which ever way u look at it 4 teeth. I'll post pics

[Marauderjack]

Sorry about you Mom Seneca......hang tough and take care of your Dad!!:beer:

[MMBLUE]

The build is looking good brother. Sorry to hear about your Mom.

[Seneca]

My what a year, my dad passed just weeks after my mom things were very hectic. They're together now in a better place no more pain. And suffering, thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

I got back on my car and made a good bit of progress engine and transmission are in and bolted up. Got the hot side wrapped and started coating it. I'm hoping to have the turbos mounted next weekend so I can start running the plumbing

[MOTOWN]

Glad to see your back at it , I'll be using your Xmember mod on my Silver birch Turbo build.

Lovin the blacked out look, including the heat wrap and piping. Looks bad to the bone, brother.

[TooManyFords]

Awesome Seneca!

[JustRight]

Oh I'm already thinking about it... lol.. it won't be funny then tho, I'm sure there will be a good bit of kinks to work out too.. if this works good, I'll run it a year then redo the whole thing and build a set of forward facing headers, I have the want really bad. Has to clear ac and ps tho

[Seneca]

Well it's been awhile, Mark8 fan mounted and made for some much needed room, and these things move some air! Turbos are mounted this is intended to be the final assembly, everything is tight drain lines installed, I used Zacks idea with the ac and trimmed 1/4 off the bosses and wow every little bit helps! Sunday I plan on posting underside pictures with the exhaust fully hooked up

[justbob]

That looks DAMN good man! Like art... What are your plans for the upper radiator hose?

Maybe it's just the angle of the pic but is it directly inline with the hot side? Maybe run some offset metal piping around it?
