I spent a few hours last night buttoning up the AN Plumbing on the car. DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS!

Oil feed and cooling lines:

PLUMBING_01.jpg

The coolant line attaches to a nipple on the water outlet. Instead of going through the hassle of welding on an AN bung, I simply used a hose end cover. It's a little corny, but it looks pretty good.

PLUMBING_02.jpg

Ran the lines to the Aeromotive FPR. I still need to put a plug in the other port. I also cut off the vac port for the old charcoal canister and plugged it, then added another clamp for the fuel feed line at the back of the plenum. You can see what's missing if you compare it to THIS pic.

Another shot of the FPR

I wish you could see the brackets that I made for the brake booster line. I made 3 stainless L brackets and used them to mount line clamps to. They came out really nice and hold the vacuum line very straight. I am planning on mounting the check valve in between the two closest to the camera. Again I used hose finishers to clean up the look.

Another shot of the FPR showing the cable clamps holding the return line.

Another shot of the brake booster vacuum line. There's a clamp that's hard to see mounted to the head lifting bolts. (The other two are off the plenum and intake studs)

PLUMBING_07.jpg

Shot of the drain and coolant line. I made both the drain flange and the block flange, wish I had a pic of them off the car, they came out awesome. I still have to do something with this coolant line.

Here's a shot of the block flange on the car.

I also took the rotor hats off the car so I can get them anodized.

The level of detail gets better as the build goes on, well done :)

Only thing I can think of is maybe some flame proof wrap for the turbo oil and water lines, it will get damn hot in there and wouldnt want them melting

Amazing! Im sure you will as it seems you miss nothing. But im assuming your going to clamp that hose on the right away somewhere? Itl rub through in a matter of weeks sitting on that seam in the bodywork! (Pic of lines under Turbo compressor by the "M24" casting)

Yeah, that's why I said:

"I still have to do something with this coolant line."

In the pic's caption.

I'll probably butterfly it to the drain line and glue some vacuum tubing to the seam.

  • 3 weeks later...

Shot of the intercooler and radiator installed (temporarily):

Then I started installing the window gaskets and some of the trim. The trim is actually blacked out with vinyl, which is a pretty popular way to do it. It looks really good:

coolantpipes04.jpg

Lastly, I made and installed some AN lines to be used with my PCV vacuum setup. That unaatached line will go to a catch can, then into the exhaust evacuator.

coolantpipes10.jpg

Got my coolant pipes coated in brushed aluminum PC and my bumper brackets in black.

PC_COOLANTPIPES.jpg

I put a bead on the pipes with these vice grips I modified. Got the idea from Dan (JUICEDZ4)... In fact that's actually his pic... but mine are nearly identical.

Check out his AWESOME cavalier build here. I know it's a Cavalier, but check it out, it's unreal.

I bought some cheap summit racing window cranks and machined an adapter to run them on my gutter power window housings.

More shots of the outside. It's even more yellow than it appears in photos. Very odd color indeed. 4/6 windows are in. As is BLACKED OUT TRIM

PHAT AZZ... (the apron has some black on it at a weird angle so it looks crooked, but it all gets covered by the rear valence) Also got the trunk latch and tails installed. Looks like a fox notch hahah.

A shot of the CHROME BILLET WINDOW CRANK$$$ installed (23 bucks from summit)

blacktrim05.jpg

And FINALLY got a set of these. SOOOO much better than a crescent wrench with electrical tape on it.

blacktrim06.jpg

Also summit racing must hate that I keep adding shit to this order over and over. Check out all those different ship dates, all on 11.95 handling. :D

Nah, they probably love me...

Look at all this other shit I ordered.

Added a line clamp for the oil feed line and installed the EGT fitting into the manifold. The schedule 10 should be thick enough to not weld a bung on there, time will tell.

Powdercoated coolant pipes installed, you can also see where I am going to weld the BOV flange on.

Steph's baffled catch can installed. You can kinda see how the lines route now. One more line comes from the bottom of the catch can to the exhaust scavenger, which will be after the WG return and flex section.

breatherpackagetray04.jpg

A shot of the line feeding the catch can and also notice the brake booster check valve installed in-line. Again, trying to keep it ultra clean looking, this time line mounts to firewall.

breatherpackagetray05.jpg

Rear PACKAGE TRAY dyed black and installed. Instead of factory mounting I simply chose to use 2 stainless self-tapping screws in the front and clips in the back.

breatherpackagetray06.jpg

breatherpackagetray07.jpg

Lastly for tonight: Back Glass.

breatherpackagetray08.jpg

Just scooped up this, and the interface to communicate directly with AEM:

And a fuel sender from summit. (Oh yeah and a 2.75 cent fitting that's backordered until october, LOL)

First thing I did was install the fuel tank level sending unit. Pretty straightforward.

closeoff09.jpg

Radiator fan installed:

closeoff01.jpg

closeoff02.jpg

Wideband bung welded on:

closeoff04.jpg

Spiffy downpipe bracing to motor:

Lastly, and most awesomely, I made this closeoff out of laser cut aluminum and pre-preg carbon fiber.

Large work was conducted above a machine, turbine very good! Successes in future!
To many on Rb26 liked to put here such turbines!

1000hp!!!!

This is probably the best comment I have ever received in any of my build threads.

Edited by ctnewman
glad I'm not the only one with tape on my crescents haha

So when do we get to see the flares?

flares, even the rears can't go on til sideskirts are on

sideskirts can't go in til fenders go on

fenders won't go on til it's tunning, probably, so you gotta wait a bit...

Wow....I thought an E36 with an 1JZ would be crazy, but this Bimmer made me speechless. Really good and detailed job mate. Quiet cool to see that you left the steering wheel on the left side :ninja: It's really going to be a trackday monster.

Good luck in the future :P

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
