:After ~1.5 years of working on this project (on and off) I am almost finished! There is a good amount of work still to do but I am getting close. :See previous posts here. : :To be done: :Weld all TB's to flanges and flanges to manifold/plenum :Weld 1/8" aluminum sheet onto cam covers :Weld 1/8" aluminum sheet to form plenums :Fab up linkages = time + $$$ :Mill center stand for pully :Finish pully :Fab vacuum chamber for all lines and IAC valve :And some other stuff I'm sure... :I have lost track of the hours spent so far but it's A LOT! I would like to thank my work for owning a mill, lathe, TiG welder, and scrap aluminum (for fixtures). I wouldn't be able to do all of this without them. ;) : : : :Heavily modified cam covers. This was done to allow clearance for the TB's and plenums. Those towers looked goofy anyway. ;) : : : : :The oil fill will be welded at the very front of the passanger intake cam cover to allow clearance for the TB's. Also my attempt at fabbing up a TB of my own, it's not finished yet. Anyone have any stock Z TB plates they want to donate? : : : : :Modified flanges to clear injector connectors. : :The extra reliefs are for the screws that hold the injector caps. : : : : : : : :Modified coil packs to allow clearance for plenums. It's easier than you might think. : :Shortened coil pack. I need to machine more off the cam covers (area marked). Notice the large chunk missing from the intake cam cover? Make sure you have a nice fixture to bolt your work to rather than being lazy and clamping it directly in the vise...I learned my lesson. Anyone have a spare passenger side intake cam cover? : : :Not the prettiest weld but it's not going anywhere, and I did it myself. The pully will sit ~1.5" lower when everything is said and done. :
