#126428, "Some progress with the 2.2L"
Jul-26-09 06:26 AM by cs82685

Got some extra time to start working on the project again this week. I was wanting to -16an upper and lower radiator hoses, and I want the thermostat housing about an inch lower then how it sits from the factory, so as you can see below, I modified the housing how I wanted it. The Coolant temp sensors for both MS and my ProSport gauge will have bungs welded into the radiator along the top.

Not much other stuff done yet, got the manifold and turbo mounted back on. Also, added 10mm studs for the exhaust manifold. Got the turbo drain ran to the oil pan, finished painting the intercooler piping and mounted the BOV. Made a cam sensor block off plate and welded in some good old skateboard bearings for shifter bushings.

Looks good Mike.....You have a lot of contaminants in the welds, i would grab another housing and work on a back up piece. Chances are those welds will sweat coolant.

Great progress and its coming along. You have what? 2 months to produce 400WHP? I will put a/c in the garage so you dont work up too much of a sweat waxing my car!

The housing was very clean when I welded it, the problem is that the housing doesnt weld like aluminum, more like plastic. It is the cheapest quality aluminum ever produced probably, haha.

It will be on the roads in a month Terry

Be sure to explain the excuses to the coolant as you pour it in so it doesnt sweat from the porous welds!

LMAO, I am surprised someone caught that...it was either the Bones Swiss, or my old Lucky 7's emoji

And for the person above who asked about the bearings, I took four old skateboard bearings and tacked 2 of them together (so two go into each shifter cable) and pressed them into the shifter housing. Feels really smooth now.

Got some more work done with the project this last weekend, so I thought I would share some pics.

I did not care for the orange valve cover I had on the motor. So I stripped it down, welded in two -10 bungs for a breather can setup that is in the works, cut off and welded the stock breather pipe hole shut and flush, and cut off the stock straight piece for the PCV valve, tapped it with a 1/4 NPT thread and picked up a aluminum allen head cap from Summit and Capped it off. Also got some new spark plugs and got those put it with the coil and wires.

Also going to begin fabricating a new downpipe setup. Cut off my old flange from the downpipe. I picked up the flange itself from ATP last year, it is a nice 2.5 to 3 inch transition flange to use with a 3 inch downpipe. In my case, I wanted to use a 3" vband with my new downpipe, and did not want to spend more money on purchasing a new turbine housing or welding the vband flange to the housing itself. So I took the flange which actually was about 3-1/4" and welded it to the 5 bolt flange, came out pretty good. I also cut off the original housing for the upper radiator hose on my Fluidyne radiator and made a piece to cap it off. I welded that in and then picked a -16AN weld in bung and welded the bung into the middle of the radiator. This was only done to give me a little but more clearance room for my 3 inch downpipe which you will see in couple of days.

Lastly, I did not feel like buying the 160* thermostat from Howell and waiting and paying shipping fees for it. Since I live literally 2 miles from Summit Racing, I went and got a 54mm 160* tstat for a big block Chevy. Our tstat measures in at 46mm. I bought the tstat $9 including tax. I simply trimmed it down to 46mm with a die grinder and burr bit. Fits good now emoji

Stay tuned in every weekend for more progress and pics emoji

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that I got all the front suspension put back together and axles finally put back in. I will be bringing in the front wheels/tires tomorrow to our dealership to install nitrogen in the tires, and rebalance the wheels.

Thanks, I like the valve cover 50 times better.

I am no professional at welding. I simply bought a welder and learned on my own. Although, I did read the Tig Welding for Dummies book that came with the welder emoji

Anytime anyone wants to stop over, they are welcome to practice with my equipment.

I love the valve cover setup and at first I was wondering on how you were going to put the line from your thermostat housing to the radiator, than saw in the new pics how you were going to do it. Why did you op for using the turbo radiator versus a non-turbo one?

Mainly because I did not want to try to sell my radiator/pusher fans that already installed. Not many people like buying a used radiator, atleast speaking for myself, I would not.

Yes, the starter is a pain in the dick to get to...

That picture is the thermostat housing I made/fabricated from the stock housing. It is a piece of one inch aluminum tube coming straight down out of the housing and teeing off into two for the MSnS CT sensor and the ProSport water temp gauge...

Not necessarily.

No I wont. Should have little to do with higher coolant temps.

Keep in mind I have a vented hood. Also, that was the purpose of using a thick stainless steel braided radiator hose over the stock rubber hose that would have been a lot closer in location to the downpipe.

It wouldnt make much of a difference...I have a hood that has a huge center vent like an evo, and then 3 other vents along the sides...not much more to do to lower under hood temps, lol.

More...

EDIT: Might as well edit this post before I get blown up about it...yes, there will be a one inch air filter to vent the can. It is not fully done and nothing will be done for much longer since I am in the process or possibly moving out of the house and into a new one. I installed it last night about 1 am when I couldnt sleep last night, just to test fit everything emoji

That does look really sharp, Mike. I need to set-up my venting for the turbo and just haven't gotten around to it. I like the location of the box (and the box itself). She looks real purty so far.

Just a suggestion, Mike... you may want to put a drain cock on the catch can so you can drain it without removing it from the car. Looks real good!

#128020, "Aluminum battery box and catch can "
In response to Reply # 39

Scored a huge sheet of 1/4" Aluminum from my work for free last weekend, they are doing a shit load of reconstruction and the owner said I could have it...So off to town I went making shit. Started the battery box that will be mounted in the spare tire well and finished the catch can setup as you can see below.

Stack those dimes..

Not too sure what this technique is called, but I watched a video on youtube awhile back of this guy doing it, so I figured I would give it a try.

And now for the catch can...I had a piece of 1" OD Al tube laying around in the garage, so I welded that to the front of the can, and picked up a $17 K&N filter from Summit Racing to slap on it. I also remembered (thanks to doug) that I had this little drain cock resting in one of my drawers in my tool box at work, drilled the bottom of the can, and installed that. Catch can setup, check, done.

Mike, love the work and welds.

I was curious why you mounted the filter so low - space constraints? having it at that level effectively reduces the oil capacity of the catch can as it will spill out of the filter if it ever reaches that level.

Additionally, if you do not foresee accumulating that much oil from the breather setup why was the box made to those dimensions? For a breather setup could you not have reduced the size in half and had the same results?

I cannot tell completely what how it looks in the fenderwell from the pictures but maybe you could explain your design strategy a bit more.

There is not a lot of design or theory behind the can setup. Just something small in case of serious blow by issues. The filter was installed where it was for spacing to be honest. I hope the can never gets that full emoji

Thanks for the compliments of the welds though, I love welding aluminum

i think if your car was submerged in a river, the battery would remain dry w/ that box. very nice. lol
