Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I ran the fuel feed up the drivers side and mounted the y-block behind the steering shaft. The return is on the passenger side. Here's a pic of the y-block.

Be careful..if flywheel/clutch goes by by could cut the fuel lines.

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

The build looks great! I have enjoyed reading the progress, you do good work.

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I'm running an SFI flywheel but will need to upgrade to a blow proof bell housing when I get a chance. I'd also be just as worried about taking off my foot as the fuel and trans cooler lines.

Thanks. I'm a hack compared to alot of guys on here but I'm trying.

Finally finished up the clearancing I did for the air filter.

Started working on the exhaust as well. Everything was going along ok until I tried to pull the flowtube out of the passenger side muffler. 2 hours later I finally got this POS out. Had to take a break after that.

Good dead man, didnt mean it as a inslut just looking out. Sometimes its good to have someone look over work to make sure ya didnt miss something ya know?

Got any pictures on how you did the line lock?

How do you plan to route the alternator wiring?

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

Line lock is mounted below the MC and I have it wired to the left horn button on the steering wheel. I'll have to see if I can get some pics.

There's several pics of the alternator wiring about 5 posts up.

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

Doesn't show how the power wire is routed..which is what I'm referring too.

The line lock..more looking in to how you routed the lines. Thats all my friend

thanks

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I moved the battery to the back years ago. I ran a 4 guage wire from the alternator to the cut off switch behind the license plate with a 125 amp inline fuse. The wire runs through the wheel well into the passenger compartment along the passenger side between the seat and the door.

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I pulled the turbo over the weekend to re work the oil drain line and found out the flange on the down pipe is about 1/8 to 1/4" larger than the flange on the turbo. Not sure how well the v-band is going to work with this. Also stripped the t-bolt in the process and now I have to replace that.

Put the radiator in and cleaned up a little wiring. Also got the fenders back on and mocked up the nose. Thought I was going to be able to keep from hacking up the valance by mounting the intercooler directly to the radiator support, but no go.

I'm fabbing up some brackets to keep the lower valence from deforming at speed:

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

i really dont think it moves. i actually have the whole bottom cut out, behind the licence plate area. i was looking at another car at the shop yesterday and he cut out the whole underside at the bottom of the rad support too, it didnt even connect at the bottom. and that was a 160mph+ car

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I saw an article that had pictures of cars at the top end of the track and how deformed the front end can get. It may be fine, but I'll feel a little better if I brace it up a bit. I also want to make sure it doesn't rub on the IC.

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

Thanks for the help.

The dp will be fine wi the v clamp. just put some high temp gasket and it be fine.


What did you use to cut your bumper?

Thanks
D

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I used a die grinder with a cut off wheel to cut the bumper.

The only pics I have of the line lock are below. I'm running a 94 brake booster and master cylinder if I remember correctly.

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

How do you have that routed looks like you are using 3 ports? Been trying to figure out the easier way to put a line lock in there...its hard since don't know the sizes and all.

did you get car color in a spray paint can? if so where at?

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

The MC is a two port, one for the fronts and one for the backs. The line for the fronts goes to the solenoid and then to the calipers. The rear line has a proportioning valve on the firewall by the passenger side hood hinge. I bought the Ford code paint in aerosol cans from a local shop called Terrace Supply.

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

Awesome man! so you just use a coupler for the rear lines to the MC (thats what it looks like at least) You wouldn't happen to know the size would ya?

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I used the maximum motorsports kit, not sure of the size though, sorry.

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

what kit exactly? part number?

thanks
D

 

Re: Just another Fox turbo build (Beware: long ass intro)

I have no idea, that was several years ago. I used several parts and pieces that were supposed to make it plug and play and then had to customize some of them to put it all together.
