my 96GT turbo

bobtsgt · Jul 11, 2008

Thanks man. I swore off turbos after sinking about 8Gs into a 88 Surpra but came back around. I believe he said around a 3,500. Its been awhile since we talked last. I think the one I have was said to be stalled at 3,600 but its really around 3,300. Just going to have to play around with it and see what happens. I will probably get it redone when I build my spare shortblock over the winter. Thats if the wife lets me :whip:

haha, I have that same exact trash can in my room. They came with a little plastic field goal to put on top as well

bobtsgt · Jul 11, 2008

HAHAHAHA :rollinglaugh: yeah I've had that since I was in elementary school I believe. Still have the field goal somewhere. That was back when I idolized Troy and Emmit. Hell I still had some of their jerseys til last year.

The crank is a Steeda UD, as well as the water pump pulley. I routed my belt by changing the upper left idler to a smooth and basically deleting the ac without using the ford delete kit. Here is a top view of how I did it and the belt and pulley I used for the delete. It wraps around the smooth pulley, against the tensioner, then around the crank.

Do you have your hotside finished? If so, you got any pics of that?

WarHorse · Jul 11, 2008

thats a great lookin setup, good luck finishing it up and tuning.

bobtsgt · Jul 12, 2008

hot side is mostly done. Just have to tack up one more piece and my v band. Should be able to get it all done next week. I will be getting some pics of it when its done before I wrap it. Heres to getting it done before NMRA Columbus :happydrunks:

BLCKSTNG96 · Jul 12, 2008

nice,ya know when i noticed the belt routing i didnt even think that the a/c was missing but now it makes sense why it looked so diff.good idea tho for deleting a/c and just rerouting the belt like that.

bobtsgt · Jul 12, 2008

yeah it was simple belt route and works very well. anyone can copy

please tell me your tig welding all of your pipes together

realitygt · Jul 14, 2008

are your fender flares different colors?

car looks good I like the bags

bobtsgt · Jul 15, 2008

The pipes are all mig tacked then I have a buddy tig them for me since I don't have the time. Same guy who tig welded my rear for me.

Yeah the flares are a darker green. I didn't know then when I bought them 4 years ago. I planned on molding them eventually when it comes time for body work.
