Hi guys,
I've got a 2000 GT I'm installing a 76mm On 3 kit on. It's been somewhat of a pain so far, not entirely the fault of the On 3's kit. Started off with the K-Member, you have to have a UPR, I already had one.... from 20 years ago and it didn't work with the kit. I had a really nice Steeda sway bar, won't work with the kit. So the issue I'm having now is fitting the fan between the radiator on turbo. I had underdrive pulleys and thought the harmonic balancer was getting in the way, went to pick and pull and got a factory harmonic balancer bolt, water pump and alt. pulleys from a Lincoln 2V and the only thing that fits is the balancer bolt. lol Got it all mocked back up and it looks just about the same. I shoved the turbo back against the block and tightened the V-band, there's no way it's sealing correctly in that position. Do you have to cut the channel on the brace for the hood latch and tuck the radiator in there to make everything fit? Am I just missing something? I reached out to On 3, they told me my car had probably been wrecked because they've seen fitment issues.
Seems like I've had all the same problems as everyone talks about on here, the oil filter relocation is a pain in the ass. Getting it clocked just right was a nightmare. I used AN-10 lines, you have to clock it just right to clear the motor mount and still need some chaff protection on the line. I don't know if it's impossible to get the screw on adaptor off with the header on, everyone bitches about the left header but if you do it enough times, it gets easy. lol I tried a flat plate oil filter / water neck adapter, the radiator hose ends up right on the header.
Any advice? Sell it and get a Paxton?
