StAndrew's Build

This is true
I'd be ok with a magnaflow cat and muffler though... All 3" and all street legal. I'm seriously thinking about buying some 3" flex pipe and doing all that myself hmmmmmm

 

Never knew of a build to ever be problem free. Yours is coming together quite well even despite a few hiccups.

 

tis the mere beginning... haha

 

Make me one too?

Yeah, I was supposed to get the truck back this week but still waiting for the new bumper. Having the truck in the shop is a HUGE hick-up

Please don't say that...

 

So Ive been wanting new springs and u-bolt flip for some time. Broke down and got some OME springs and u-bolt flip. I have the shock relocation tabs already, just need some metal plates and a bar for the mount.

Also getting rid of the light bar and FABTECH tire carrier in exchange for the SOS Concept all in one (bar and tire carrier).

Brent, I might be needing some welding done sooner rather than later

So here is my to-do list:
-Troubleshoot FIC ground
______-Mount FIC behind glove box
-Turbo kit install
______-Need to figure out the water lines
______-Need to figure out the IC (got the mount figured, just need to make sure I have the proper plumbing
______-Still need to decide how to run the oil lines
______-Need to purchase exhaust parts
-Trans cooler
-Oil filter relocation
-Catch can install
-3 Piece Belly Skid plate install
______Drill frame for trans skid
-Redo wiring/fuse plate
-Rear shock relocation
______-Need metal plates/bar
-Rear leafs/u-bolt flip
-Install new light bar and tire carrier
-Install new headlight and reverse light bulbs
-Clean/Vacuum/shampoo interior. Had a slight water leak on driver side door. Replaced weather stripping but now a funky smell.

 

Damn your list is longgggggggg

 

Haha...

Ill give ya maybe November...maybe.

 

I just ordered my rear shocks and springs so !
I get the feeling you aren't going to like that monster turbo and get a smaller one after driving with it a while so I can't help with the water part of it, but all of the oiling and plumbing is cheap on ebay. I would buy like 10 feet of straight aluminum tubing and buy the silicone elbows and reducers instead of having it tig welded (8~ pieces at $5-8 a piece instead of a $200+ weld job). I'm going to use the tubing I have now which is 2". Nylon/stainless steel double braided 15,000psi oil lines are less than $5 a foot depending on how hard you look on ebay. 1/4" feed with 1/8" restricting hole and 5/8 drain. Fittings at Home Depot (or go fancy and get red/blue AN fittings on ebay free shipping).
More oil lines exposed just to make sure there are no bubbles in oil after change/not have to squeeze your hand through wheel well is scary so .... Errrrr idk.
Partsgeek.com has cheap oil/trans coolers for our truck and of course a universal one from ebay will work $30~

 

Would help if I had the truck to knock some of this stuff out

Always gotta be Mr Negative....

Sweet! What shocks/springs? I got some OME springs and running my 5100's.

As far as the oil feed, I got my oil feed and drain lines for the turbo, I just don't want to do it how the CXRacing kit does as that may not let me relocate my oil filter. Just looking for a new and better way to run the feed lines

 

Need a t fitting that is male 1/8" bspt one end(block side), female 1/8" bspt other end (oil pessure sensor side), and 1/8" npt feed for turbo. Also be sure restricted to 2an or 1/8" at turbo.
Drain 5/8"/10an or larger from turbo to side of oil pan.

How does cxracing have this setup?

 

Should not be an issue with 5w-30.

 

Be sure you can fuel it and tune fuel and ignition timing. Run 2 step colder plugs, 160-170 degree thermostat, high octane pump gas, coolant to/from turbo from throttle body circuit bypassing the throttle body, transmission oil cooler with fan and thermostat switch. Engine oil cooler only needed if ran hard for long periods. It will not get out of control easily when running 20-30 degree cooler coolant from colder tstat as this helps cool oem oil cooler and turbo chra. Feed and drain for turbo as I mentioned earlier. Intercooler not needed but good idea for best results. Water/meth not needed but will help as well.

 

I prefer to think of it as incentive to prove me wrong haha

 

Il have to look how the kit does it . Family in town for easter soo no time now.

Mobile 1 makes a synthetic 0w 40. Has me interested. Otherwise amsoil 0w 30.

Im looking into plugs now. I can adjust everything but timming. I can only retard timming with the fic. Thermostat is a good idea...

I'm trying but I think you are being too optomistic

 

Just OME springs and plane jane Monroe shocks... blah.
And I keep forgetting you got the whole kit so disregard that. But how exactly does the CX kit feed the turbo? Just the 3/8" npt tap by the filter? Where are you getting the relocate kit from? I might be able to tell if it will work with the oil tap since I've spent quit a bit of time down there /:

 

The CX kit uses a plate that inserts between the block and filter similar to the plate the relocation kit uses.

I go this JEGS kit:

JEGS Performance Products 51715 Universal Remote Oil Filter Mount

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WWVWQ0/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Im not comfortable stacking the two plates so I figured I can tap the relocation return line.

 

Sweet build up

 

Would look better with a certain bar/tire carrier

If you have some SOS Concept stickers I wouldn't mind a one in the rear window

 

I sent you a Invoice lol and Ill have more stickers this week

 

Sweet. Send my sliders to my house and the invoice to chris's house.
