Project Wheels Up

[ginoz28]

I've been searching everywhere for some well built shorty headers that would.be a good
foundation to start making my hot side for the camaro. Its been hard trying to find some that
have a good chance at fitting. I already have some bbk shortys (copy jon's kits) that I was going to go off of but I wanted to go a different route. I checked the measurements and found that these look like there going to fit. I just want to get some other opinion's on them if yall think there going to fit.

The headers are Sandersons CC11's

I saw those when I was making my headers. Only thing I didn't like we're 1.5" primaries. Iirc SB swap blazer/s10 shorties looked like they'd fit. Never got good hard info on em tho.

[ginoz28]

Yea I was looking to see if they had the same but with 1 5/8 or 1 7/8 , no luck. But I know it will flow way better than a log type hotside.

That is true. I used BBK headers on my last turbo build. Worked well. Idk if I have any pics of it though.

I dont think the 1 1/2 primarys are gonna hurt me. I see on other hot sides that have bigger primarys and they choke down all the way to 2 1/4 to keep velocity up. I think I"ll just keep it 2 1/2 all the way to the flange.

[ginoz28]

Got the headers today and they look like there going to fit badass.:cool:

OTE=shownomercy;293782]How are you gonna run PS/Alt ?[/QUOTE]

I was gonna run them with the stock bracket, I need to get the ac delete pulley. My k-member comes
tomorrow so I have a better idea where to run the piping.

[shownomercy]

The PS lines will prob need to be custom

[ginoz28]

I really want to get a manual rack but, 600 bucks I think I''ll run tubing to the reservoir.

[Ryan Stout]

Kickass! I ran a 2 1/2" merge also. It'll support quite a bit. Keepin the flanges or going vband?

[ginoz28]

I'm going vband. Which header did you use or did you make it all?

[Ryan Stout]

I made them. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Just time consuming.

[ginoz28]

What size primarys did you use and you got a pic? Welding is just about the only thing I cant do good enough and a plus I have "old guy" welders at work that can do it right.

I'll be watching this thread closely, this is exactly how I want to do my turbo build someday. Only thing I thought of though was to run the headers back like theyre supposed to be and run a crossover pipe back to the front so that A/C and power steering aren't affected. Just a pipe dream i've had for a couple years lol.

I used 1 3/4". Only because my exhaust ports are pretty decent size and anything smaller would shroud the port badly. Didn't want my header flange to be the restriction. I got pics somewhere. I'll dig em up.

[ginoz28]

You got me thinking about that. I'm gonna make a pattern off the headers and see the difference in size.

I was looking at the bracket and instead of buying the ac delete bracket I'm gonna move the belt tensioner up and to the left and cut off the excess bracket to make room for the downpipe to go through and under the motor mount. I already ordered the ribbed idler pulley to swap out the smooth one.

Now I just need to make a small bracket from the tab on the right of the tensioner to the main bracket bolt hole right next to it in the pic. I'm going to cut it off from the orange line down.

These headers will not fit on the driverside, they will interfere with the steering shaft.If you want the headers running to the back like you want you pretty much have to get camaro specific headers like bbk's or something.

When I got the ribbed pulley I was hoping it would fit right up but that didn't happen, it ran into the bolt that goes under the stock smooth pulley
I had to make a bracket out of 3/16 flat plate and a spacer to bring out the pulley and line it back up. Now I can put a 3 1/2 downpipe if I want.
I'm still waiting on the pipes they should be here on Monday.
The turbo still hasn't even shipped is that normal that you have to wait so long. I called the guy and he said precision has to build it first

Yea the waterpump is close but I measured for waterpump and radiator clearance. I'm gonna get a Griffin radiator and stand it up to clear everything.

For the downpipe I moved the belt tensioner up and to the passenger side to fit the downpipe under the swaybar and under the pass motormount.

The wife wanted me to hurry up and start the remodel on the house , so I took everything out of garage and pulled off the plywood from the walls and ceiling to shut her up yesterday.
There's still one thing there:D
Now I have plenty of room to work I should have did this along time ago.

Ok I got most of the piping tacked up, I just need the pipe that joins the y pipe and the turbo flange. It was easier than I thought it would be but I still ain't done yet.
It was fun though:) I like figuring shit out.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/31/2y4adapu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/31/by6avy8a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/31/yhejesy9.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/31/7uvatezy.jpg

Ok now I have the pipe all the way to the turbo flange. The last piece tfrom the Y to the flange gave me hell but I'm gonna keep it the way it is. I tried 3 different ways.
First I cut a slit in a 3 1/2" pipe and tried to tack it all the around the flange but the welds kept breaking when I put to much pressure. I suck at welding with my baby welder and 1/2" plate.
Then I tried to bell out one side off a 3" pipe to fit over the Y but couldn't get it right with what tools I have.
Third is what you see ovaled 3" pipe butted to the Y and the flange.

(sorry if I am always critical, coming along nicely)

[Ryan Stout]

Yea I'd put at least one on it. I have one on each side, but I'm paranoid lol. That and my turbo weighs 57lbs.

[ginoz28]

I was gonna put one on it but, where I ordered the pipe they didn't have one in 2 1/2 so I said to myself "I'll get it later".
I have a bracket off the motor that supports the turbo.

And guys thanks for the input. It's the first time I'm doing this and learning as I go and appreciate the help.

Do you know a place where to get the 2 1/2 flex joint?

Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

[ginoz28]

Progress has been kinda slow but I have all the piping from the headers to the turbo welded up. As for the downpipe I have it tacked up and got through the hard part. I had to shorten the radius twice to get under the swaybar and fit under the motormount. I still need to order 3" vband to finish the downpipe and a 2 1/2" flex joint on the crossover pipe.

You should just delete the oil cooler port on the water pump (the one you had to turn). IIRC a 1/2 NTP tap and plug will work on it. The Griffin radiator you're getting isn't going to have the additional lower port to connect it anyway.

Thanks man, its fun figuring the angles and seeing the work paying off and I only spent $550 on the material and $100 on the welder and my time of course.

I really want to put the O2s where I don't have to take them off the pipe.

Question. Any chance of the down pipe going over the sway bar? That's a LOT of turning pretty close to the turbo. Just thinking in terms of exhaust gasses slowing down potentially limiting your turbine speed and as such, boost output.

Not a chance. I even raised the belt and still can't make it.I would have to remove the swaybar to do it the way I want it. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/05/5y6y9anu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/05/a7uhaqej.jpg

I've been doing some wiring to the body harness. I rerouted all the power wires and the 100 connecter thats on the pass side shocktower, through the inside to the pass side under the dash. That's where I'm going to put the junction box and another fuse box to run both fuelpumps, meth, ecu and will be adding ignition relay. Here's a pic of the body harness.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/06/tume5ebe.jpg

Here's the plan I going to do. This is the firewall with the dash removed.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/06/qe6u4usu.jpg
The from left to right is the fusebox, injectordriver and ecu. The batterycable is conning from the rear to starter and then back in to the junctionbox.

Thats what I did, my PCM is sitting on the trans tunnel with the harness coming through the firewall behind the engine.

Headlight/horn harness runs down the side but trimmed its rather Un-noticabale.

Yea, I want to see only motor and turbo when I open the hood.

Now if I could get a couple of days off to be able to do something. C'MON RAIN

Been working on rewiring the fusebox. I bought some terminals and connectors from Mouser for it. I think I'm done with the box, I just have to get it in place to start connecting it to the car.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/09/agaga3e5.jpg

I'm going to leave the interior out for the 10pt cage and then I'm going put down some ozite for carpet. For the seats I'm going with the kirkeys.

I have my heads and intake out getting ported right now at Headbytes, should be done in a week or two.

I mounted my ecu and fusebox where there going and not much else. I was doing a lot of figuring and head scratching cause the damn internet didn't want to work.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/14/ezepa7az.jpg

Got the injectordriver wired in and the new hole in the firewall for the harnees cut out. I need to order new wireloom and harness tape cause AutoZone don't have crap.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/15/8ynemupe.jpg

Nope, Autozone has a horrible selection of wire loom. If you have a Fry's near you, go there. They actually have 1/4" stuff which is hard to find, I bought a bunch when I redid my engine harness.

Guys, just watch out for the poly wire loom you get in the big box stores. It's thin, soft, and melts very very easily. For not much more money, TechFlex F6 split braid loom is available on ebay for very reasonable costs, and there are suppliers on line which sell the factory style nylon loom that's very heat resistant. Just hate to see you go to the trouble of all the wiring only to have it melt and become a bigger problem within a couple of days of actual use.

Yea. I bought the loom from there that I used on my lights side of the body harness. It greyish and cheap quality. I didn't want to buy it for the engine harness.
Thanks Fastbird for pointing me in the right direction. I'll certainly be looking into the TechFlex F6 your talking about.

MEMBER @ LTXtech.com

[ginoz28]

I'm doing a lot of rewiring and I want to make sure everything is working and I won't even be able to turn on the car with the stock engine I still have in it with the tune I need. Plus I don't want to pay $200 bucks just to tune out only the vats

sorry missed the thing about the build thread.

i havent touched mine in a few weeks, but i hope to put a good 2 days into it next week.

[ginoz28]

Ok I cleaned up all the harness and took Fastbirds advice and ordered some Techflex F6 braided wire loom and some harnesstape and redid all the harness. It came out looking way better than the stock stuff. Now I need to put it in and see what to do with the interior side of the wiring harness.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/25/pypajeny.jpg
