How are those bolts for the pto? As cross threaded and effed up as mine were?

Look okay to me. Not sure about the other bolts thought, they look a little cheesy. Guess well see how much power they can take...

good question. I want to be in the water for Memorial weekend, actually the weekend before. Work has been crazy, and I am sure you can relate. The hardest part is getting the parts. Just got a notice from Jegs today some of the stuff is backordered. I am moving along, but it'll be close...

Saturday my phone decided to drink too many Mai tais and fell in the pool. Sunday was spent nursing the wife and her day long hangover, getting a guy on Craigslist to change the water sensors in my drunk phone, and then the phone went to the apple drunk tank.

its cool. I am waiting to swap the balancer. Can you send me out some pictures of your current alternator setup?

Got my bullets, the exhaust kind...

I was hoping for a full day of work, but chores got the best of me. I managed to sneak in an hour of fab. Got two tube welded and one collector done. I bought some formed turbo transitions but decided to just form the 3" collector. A vice, hammer, and a few minutes it all came together. Looking forward to getting more done tomorrow.

Progress! If this was a 4 cylinder I be done with the exhaust. Almost done with one side just need a bend for the wastegate. Other side is started, hopfully done by Wednesday. This needs to be in the boat next weekend.

And then there were two...

Engine is looking good, what size we turbos are those? And how much boost are you plan on running? Post the Dyno video when you are finished, love the sound of turbo spool up.

« **Reply #68 on:** May 20, 2012, 09:55:48 AM »

67mm turbos, boost will increase until the block tells me no more...

« **Reply #69 on:** May 21, 2012, 06:29:36 PM »

got my mounts for the left side of the block to the engine plate done. Tonight I'll drill the plate and tap the adapters. The front engine plate has worked out pretty well. This was one piece that has taken some time and effort. Now I need to figure out how to incorporate the alternator. I went this way to be more universal, and have larger bolts supporting the block. SanDeggo is using 6 10mm bolts thru the water inlets and outlets. I took a different route. He hasn't had any problems, but I wasn't sure about 6 10mm bolts supporting the front of the block. Moving right along...

If I remember correctly they're 8mm, the bolts for the head are 10s haha.
