BassAckwards' AWD Turbo 2TR-FE

Next in line for a custom exhaust system….
And I’m guessing someone going to have a baby Rotrex supercharger for sale?

 

Ohhhhh mannnnnnn! Nearly pfffssshhhhh time!

 

Thank you sir

I’m not sure there would be much of a market for it, as I will be using the driver side charge pipe, 5th injector, and intercooler, so it wouldn’t be a complete system. Why do you ask, do you need one?

Getting closer! I’ll feel good once the exhaust is wrapped up

 

Quit responding and get back to work!

 

I’m on break, it’s hot as hell out there

 

You two need to get a room, sound like an old married couple… I’m ready for the

HELL NO‼️ Been there do that… And I think it would be a hot commodity because of all the others that give up‼️
Plus I didn’t say system I said “Supercharger system” I said “supercharger” as in singular, not system.

When I had that PO* system I had to take a small grinder to grind off some tabs / fins on the back side of the 2015 headlights. Trust me I fiddled with the intercooler for hours to try to keep from having to grind the plastic on the back side of the headlights. I would have left them but they were pushing hard on the elbows and I was very nervous that they would wear a hole through the silicone elbows.
What made me very nervous was slowly, very slowly moving the AC line to clear. I could see the seam splitting, blowing freon and oil all over me. I was holding one part of the line for dear life and trying to bend the other part. I ended up wrapping the AC line with about 6 or 7 wraps of 3/4” Gorilla Duct Tape and very carefully using large Vise-grips to hold the line at the condenser then bend the line pass the vise-grips. Oh what fun, NOT!

 

Ahhhh good point. I’m not sure what is happening with that yet tbh.

I had to do that to the headlights as well. Also had to modify one of the brackets for the intercooler and get a different coupler for the driver side charge pipe for it to fit properly

 

Thank goodness you never purchased the STS Turbo kit.....

 

Did a little more this evening, but there is still more to do tomorrow on the midpipe section for the outlet flange on that. Then o2 bungs for both, build a hanger for the midpipe and a brace for the downpipe.

 

What all is left to accomplish at this point?

Is the oil pan swapped in yet?

 

Need to add O2 bungs to down pipe and mid pipe, build hangers/braces for those, swap upper oil pans, route/weld the hot side charge pipes and intake, plumbing for coolant and oil lines, test the wastegate, vacuum routing, and mount my catch can. Im sure there’s something else I’m forgetting. Those are the main things though

 

Be finished this weekend. Piece of cake.

 

I appreciate your optimism, but that may be a bit ambitious for a weekend lol. I have been taking my time, but man, that down pipe was quite the challenge

 

Hmmm… I think I know what he like to accomplish? He may want to win the Mega Millions Lottery.
Well that’s what I like to “accomplish”!
But my motto is “You Can’t Lose If You Don’t Play”!

 

I approached them a few years back when I was in PHX. They didnt want anything to do with it, even when I got on a conference call with them and LCE to develop something for mass production. I was disappointed to say the least

 

Keep that motivation coming!!

 

Glad i could be of some motivation. I need some of that myself lol. Hoping to have the weather cooperate this coming weekend so i can get some more done

 

Well, Tor will be making me a manifold at some point. So you better get yours done cuz I'm coming for ya!

 

You’re gonna be running the built engine right? I’m really looking forward to seeing how things run with your setup.

Good afternoon John!
