The build Ive Been Waiting To Do For 6 Years by KODYHUGHES

Thank you !! I finally filled the transmission with gear oil.

Now all the cars oil is running on amsoil.

And its finally off the jack stands ! felt so good lowering it back to the ground.

 

Bov looks nice, i was contemplating putting it in a different spot before but im happy now with deciding to go with the direction i did.

Finished routing all the vacuum lines and plugging the ones i needed to.

So this is the new vacuum routing.

 

I decided to keep the " canister " because i don't mind it being there and its nothing to really worry about.

I have kept the Canister specifically for that, i know its a charcoal canister that typically is used to keep those fumes down. I noticed some cars literally don't need them some do.

Can't keep the Vsv however because the vacuum lines are all used on the turbos intake. I don't feel like threading in any more barbs for vacuum.

Plus i already tack welded the Flap in the intake manifold shut so the flap doesn't open and close. I've heard and seen some horror stories where people keep them and if that thing even slightly opens under full boost it will shred and suck right into the valves pistons etc.

The thing about systems like that when boosting a non turbo car is you have to make sure they are in 100 % vacuum at all times and i feel like its not worth risking having it even opening and closing inside of a boosted engine.

But yeah finished my down pipe welding it. No i probably won't show it off because the only thing i have to weld with is a 130 dollar welder. but no worries its strong and i made sure it can hold the weight of the cars exhaust system with ease.

Im going to show a distance shot because its nothing im proud of. Just happy its solid. Just finished drilling and welding the o2 bung in. Everything fits great.

Anyways.. at first i sent the sections i cut up to a guy that uses a Tig welder. he said he was having a hard time welding stainless steel so he told me he only could do certain portions. So he gave it to me halfway welded and since he wasn't too inclined to finish it i decided to.  

Anyways... yeah you can post this to some weld facebook page so people can see what not to do lol.
