Jaguar_5's 87 Turbo Build

[JustAnotherVictim]

I love the act clutch.
I kept off the boost until that first oil change then gradually used more as I was checking things were alright. It sucks but you'll be happy once you can actually floor it.

Updated picture of oil cooler setup

They forgot to send my the 90 degree fittings, so those will be here in about a week

 

[IJ.]

^ Hose size?

 

[Jaguar_5]

-10

Abit overkill on the size, but -8 would nullify my pump hardline

 

[IJ.]

-10 is gooooooood

 

[Jaguar_5]

That's what I like to hear from my official mentor / adviser

 

[IJ.]

I replaced ALL of my fittings and lines with -10 awhile back.

A good rule of the thumb is a normal 90 degree bend is the same restriction as 10 feet of straight line the same diameter so the upgrade in internal size really helps in this case. (I use 90 sweeps to help out a bit here and large radius sweeps would be even better but there isn't enough room for them)

So yea, let's hook that up and get done this century k.

 

[Jaguar_5]

This century? No problem, nice to see you have low standards for me

Don't forget I'm taking longer than BHG (formerly known as BSG lol), I'm in Reign territory here, HA!

Right now I have to get back to work on my POS white NA DD, which decided to blow a headgasket on me, so I'm replacing it with a new composite as quick as possible, with new toyota bolts and a bunch of gaskets hoses and seals (everything from toyota)

Gotta get my transportation back before I can work on the project!!

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

BHG should take you a day.
Send it down. I'll have it done in a day.

 

[Jaguar_5]

Took abit longer than a day, between having a loaner vehicle and life getting in the way :biglaugh:

The DD Is up and running (for now, the head is in bad condition...)

Work will resume on the build very soon here, right now it is too cold to be working outside.

Got afew of my prosport gauges in, oil press & temp, waiting on boost gauge, they will go on my a-pillar. Gotta finish installing my SS Brake lines, do some more painting on some parts that will go back in the engine bay, I really gotta start wrapping this up and get that engine back in place!!!

Hopefully I'll have some actual progress to report soon

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

If there is not a blizzard you should go do it. Or if it's raining.
I'll give you a break then.

 

[Jaguar_5]

It did snow the other day, and it has been rainy quite often, I do live in seattle, DUH

 

[americanjebus]

Do what i did and get some leather gloves, couple sweatshirts, two pairs of pants, some spot lights and your good to go. If its cold take a swig to warm up The first 3 workable months of spring will go by in a heartbeat and you'll end up with an engine still in pieces in May like i did.

Pics!!!!!

 

[Jaguar_5]

Yeah thats what I've been doing, not leather gloves though just some mechanics gloves, 3 shirts, and 2 jackets :biglaugh:

I plan to get some work in tomorrow, gotta add in replaceing the radiator in the DD, plan to just sacrifice the one from this supe, and get a new one when I need it... Trasko filter, then AFPR are next on the list, then a clutch! I also slowly decided largely from riding in your car Luis, that i need to take my ddp to a muffler shop for rerouting, and get a 3" hiflo cat instead of the test pipe, as well as get a resonator welded in, even my N/A with 2.5 pipes plus stock cat, to my 3" system, is getting too loud for my nerves over time

It's really work and school that get in the way alot and being lazy.... ha!

 

[buckshotglass]

It's really work and school that get in the way alot and being lazy.... ha!

I think I pretty much wore out that excuse, got any new ones?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Rerouted ddp...
Wuss. :biglaugh:

 

[Jaguar_5]

Hey man, I love the sound, I'm just not so sure my neighbors or the coppers will

BSG: Thats my story, and I'm sticking to it :biglaugh:

 

[Jaguar_5]

Update:
Brake booster and master cylinder installed, I spent about 45 minutes making a gasket for between the booster and the firewall, and then later I found the one I had a feeling I ordered :biglaugh:

So as far as the engine bay goes, the brake & clutch lines are done. Still need to finish installing the SS brake lines in the wheel wells, not sure if I'm going to reuse my stock calpers, I need to order rotors and brake pads. then it will be back on it's wheels again!

Still need to weld in a ABS connector that was damaged.

Finished the passenger side AC Lines, after a little bending back into shape.

Fuse box and wiring harness is all getting back into it's original position, igniter back on, still need to figure out oil cooler and filter mountings, not sure if the dual filter mount will fit under the driver or pass side headlight (still using stock IC piping for now)

Pictures next time I get some more done

 

[Jaguar_5]

Getting more work done! Fixed the wire harness for the ABS motor, got the wiring mostly in place and hooked up, various other things...

Also mocked up the oil cooler

Please ignore all the dust, and the mess on the floor
