People who say they build these things cheap are full of shit or can steal stuff.

With the relay panel, and since megasquirt signal grounds the relays I had to buy and build some relays for the fuel pump,transbrake/bump box, fans

I havnt even got to the battery relocation stuff besides the switch.

Got the relay Center mounted. Starting on rough template for gauges. Don't know I want to run 2 or 3.

Oil pressure, fuel level and trans temp. Is the gauges I need.

I will prob end up having to cut the rest out and half sleeve it due to how my next turbos oil drain is.

I actually thought of having solid bushings made for the k member too, but like baron said they are basically solid from the get go

I have very little clearance for headers, and pulled a set of longtube's back off thinking that they would be hitting, and it turns out I was wrong, they had plenty of clearance.

[shumpertdavid]

gotcha, that's the only concern I would see.

[Baron Von Crowder]

Will your oil drain not rub when the motor flexes the engine mounts?

IIRC, he's got an AJE kmember, and the motor really doesnt move with the way their mounts are made.

[Sleeper]

No its got alot more room than the pictures show. If any indication of it I'll cut out the whole area and box it in with some round tubing

You have or had that twin turbo z7? Loved that build. It was back when only a few thought monts where awesome. So many being built now.

[DarrenK]

nice build.

Got the bumper back on and wrapped some rubber around the lines in a few places, got my grommets in and installed so lines don't rub. Tucks under the bumper nice.


Finished up the drain for turbo besides oil pan since I don't have it yet. There is more space than pictures show.








Also started on turbo feed. Need a 4an to 4an 90 and to drill and tap block above filter for feed.

Quick question before I keep cutting. Ran into a issue with the drain for the turbo. I thought I'd be able to get away with a 45 right out of the turbo if I just trimmed a little. Looks like that isn't going to work. Decided to go straight through the frame. The hole on the bottom will only be a tad over a inch where the top hole is 2 inches.

If I have too I'll cut it all out and weld in some metal and basically notch the whole thing.
