Been a bit since I updated here with pictures. I'm slightly behind. As you saw in the past two videos... or maybe you didn't, because you wanted to save yourself from hearing me (I get it). The FUCA's were replaced with SPL thanks to Andrew / DEpoint50(sp?). I gacked the bolts holding FUCA front arm, I was being lazy trying to do it with a wrench and not the proper socket. Shame on me. I picked up new bolts... two bolts and nuts literally cost 10 bucks from the hardware store.

The other video showed the car running and there were issues after. The coolant system had air, oil leak under the pan returned (AN seat issue), oil drips on the turbo drain orb (loose), scavenger pump oil drip on the lower side where the threaded pipe goes in (needs more teflon tape /tighter), every single line after the ID750 filter leaked (including the crimped line), primary fuel pump hose fell off in tank (secondary pump triggered in video). New build pains... ALL the leaking fuel lines were taken out and will be replaced with XRP crimped lines. I don't like the idea of fuel leaks at all.

I had a chat with my buddy Justin Good, owner of Redline Design, about printing the goat logo... Well, he did and they came out amazing! I'm going to put that on my rear quarter. I'll probably tack a small one on my race helmet on the back possible.

My other fender is finally on the car! and both fenders are secured with bolts. That was a requirement prior to doing the front dump exhaust. My paint/body buddy, same owner as the white TT G8, cut out 3" holes which were the ID of the trim rings. Well, turns out you don't want the same size inside diameter of the pipe... both are 3". The holes were left on the bumper so that I could guide the pipes out the hole to the exact same location on passenger and driver's side.

Lining out the drivers side exhaust was pretty easy (still took time). The piping that I mocked up to go out the bumper happened to be perfect length and almost the exact angle I needed. All I had to do was massage the angle on the long pipe, clock the 90 pie slightly different and cap the out side with a pie.

I wish the passenger side was as easy... because that was a dirty hooker. The orientation of the pie was clocked back coming off the turbo to accommodate more air gap (driver side has more now too). The exit angle was way off after clocking (and before clocking). I used what pies I had to change the angle but tried to keep it somewhat limited. Reason I used the pies was because I could change how the pies oriented which changed the pipe angle multiple ways while keeping maximum space away from the tire. The pies also had a perfect flat surface. I only had my Metabo to cut pipe. Using the angle grinder is time consuming, dirty, and it runs a risk of personal injury (I'm not joking. It crosses my mind every time I use it cutting pipe). After 12 HOURS! the passenger side was completed. I was hot, tired, and angry at the end of this one. The v-band was on and off no less than 30 separate times. Every time a section was added it was harder to clamp on. Yeah... long day.

Yesterday I worked on making a small bracket for my bumper. It's going to tie into my A2W. The past couple days kicked my butt getting my exhaust ready for TIG and I wasn't able to finish. It sounds simple but there are a few small hurdles.

Jankazz weld jobs (in tags)... eat a d1ck. lol. That weld is beast for that little plate and rod.

With that said, I threw it out. I wasn't happy with it. No reason for plate steal to hold the bumper. I cut up a thin gauge of steal and hit it with a dimple die. Lighter and will get the job done.

Replaced the last Fragola with a 45 vibrant. That should do the trick. The fitting was pretty damn easy to put on because of the line was filled with break in oil, all the way to the top of the line. I had to be careful not to spill! lol. I used hose cutters to get the old line off and to make sure that the line was nice and flush.

Put all the fuel lines back in, didn't pressure test yet. Main fuel pump hose fell off in the tank I think so the pump needs to be inspected and then I will pressure test with the main pump. Hose lengths were perfect on everything so I was able to secure my filter to the car properly with screws.

The exhaust was not angled correctly and extended too far out on the driver's side. I spent a lot of time getting the pipe angle symmetrical to the passenger side. Front facia holes were expanded for the new trim piece. You'll notice the holes getting bigger through out the pictures. I didn't get a picture of it finalized... but what ever, it's a hole.

Last thing I did was get the waste gate pipe cut and on. both pipes are close to the same length one is a bit longer because one waste gate sits a bit higher due to how the OEM header sits higher.

All the exhaust piping is done. It's out the door for TIG welding.

First photos shows the angle. Notice how it tips up too much and how far it sticks out. I needed to have most of the pipe close to flush with the bumper and then pie out a few back so that air doesn't get rammed down the exhaust. Getting the pipes to match using metal is extremally difficult, I also tried keeping the piping tight so the welds would be good.

Hopefully context will help with the photos as I go. Or else it will look like random exhaust shots.



Compare to the passenger side



Cut the odd angle with the Metabo... Not really different when I need other cuts though.


Overhead shots to show the tire gap. This is absolute max space given the turbo location. Very happy with the spacing. Wasn't done with the angling but wanted the picture. The passenger side was difficult because the pipe needed to extend down, then come back in next to the up pipe, and then make the correct angle out the bumper while keeping maximum space away from tire.



Driver's side angled to what the passenger side is.... I might have worked it a few more times after this too.


Finished piping. Notice the ends have been angled back.





Bumper on perspective








Pipe is slightly too big for the Wastegate because it is supposed to fit inside. I don't care, it's what the shop had.


Left hand side you can see the dump pipe. It doesn't need to go down far.


Gates poke past oil plumbing.... Probably needs a heat shield there. Also if you look close you can see oil on the black pipe going into the scavenger pump. I need to take it off and tighten.

Mr&Mrs

I cant wait to hear this thing.

There's video of it running a few posts up ... Unless you mean dyno run. That should be soon.

Mr&Mrs

I must of missed it ill check now, but yeah under a full load would be great =D
