sleepers 1981 zephyr lsx/th400/turbo

[Sleeper]

shifter is in and so is throttle cable. Was able to make noises and push peddles and shit.

Just about to wrap it up for the year. Out of money for a while and back in to part hoarding. I can still do little stuff like blasting the headers and coating them, and the wiring for the shifter. I need to figure out how to wire the trans brake as well. Id like to make something fo where the radio went. They hacked it out to put in a modern cd player. Ive got some plugs hanging down that need plugged in and tucked back up.

Got the hotside done besides downpipe. Waiting on the ups truck for more tubing. My wastegate placement isn't what I wanted but it should work fine.

Ran into a snag. I was going to run a dirty dingo style idler relocator. Right in the way of the downpipe. Fml

Flip turbo 180 and run DP to fender

I have a similar turbo setup as you, and ended up switching to a fbody balancer, and WP; then went with the CBR performance alt relocation bracket on passenger side.

I got the braided line for the trans cooler and mounted it up. Then moved on to building the turbo kit. Got the turbo hung tonight and it felt good. I've gotta mount the gate yet hopefully tomorrow night. Then clean it up and hit it with some bbq paint and wrap it with dei titanium wrap.

Looking good!

Trans cooler.does yes.

Been looking forward to seeing more on this build.

Maybe a dumb question, but does that cooler have its own thermostat?

Interior is also back in for now. Bench still needs redone. Installed wideband and ran wires. I'll use the megasquirt dash for the rest until I can get a set of speedhuts.

Got the trans cooler mounted. Waiting on hose ends amd hose.

Sent the radiator back to summit for the combo unit with fans. Modified the lower and stock upper mounts. All new rubber isolators. Got the intercooler mounted as well.

Start to build the hot side soon. Only thing I'm scared of is the turbine is awfully close to one of the fans. Inch and a half to 1 3/4. Hopefully it'll be fine with a blanket.

Radiator showed up. I still need some stock upper mounts if anyone has any. Overflow tank will be here by Friday I hope.
