not too much to update but today comprised of a lot of back and forthing to get the oil drain line fitment just right. i hope to hell that when I go to install all this in the car next time I'm there that it fits as planned now...
back off the car... again. damnit.
final proposed oil drain line fitment. little bit more clocking of the CHRA and spinning the NPT adapter fitting toward the compressor housing to make more room, plus swapping the 45 degree hose end for a straight hose end.
I wanted it to be as far as possible from the manifold just because of heat issues, and although it is close to the compressor housing in these pics there is a bit of clearance still. I'll be welding an elbow onto the compressor outlet which will turn away from the oil line so I don't think there will be any further fitment issues between the oil line and compressor housing with it set up like this.
finalizing the wire running under the car between the alternator and the circuit breaker
stay tuned for more updates this coming week... really hope to have manifold, turbo, oil drain, oil feed, downpipe all installed... then its time for FPR and return lines, finish making the power steering bracket, valvecover gaskets, and lots of other little crap. also have to chop and mark some pipes for the hot side intercooler piping, then take them to get welded and hope they fit as intended.
