blizzard- i sold my lowering springs and got a free set of brand new ss springs and shocks, so hopefully it will raise it high enough, i measured when it was still on the ground, but its hard to tell until your actually going over a speed bump or something, its really not as low as it looks in pictures, it just looks weird because there is no transmission, but we will see when i get a rear end in the car and i can set it on the ground

vr4- i thought about making one out of a old heat shield, i probably will make it just for safety

Hey, how did you do all the bending on hot side? like in particualr the piece from the passenger side manifold to the y, it came out great!!!, I want to try doing the same. thanks!

Re: I am the FondleMonster- and i has a turbo(build thread)

it was a piece i cut off my stock exhaust, i didnt do any bending, just cutting old pipe and welding it to get the right shape

[mtscorvette]

Re: I am the FondleMonster- and i has a turbo(build thread)

did you use pieces from your whole exaust, to do it or just pieces from the y-pipe? sprry bout all the questions, thanks!!!

Re: I am the FondleMonster- and i has a turbo(build thread)

questions are no problem, i like helping because i know it was hard to get help with my setup

that particular bend came from the actual exhaust part, the only piece from the "y" pipe i used was the actual merge from the y

Well hopefully it will be high enough but I'm looking at it in relation to the oil pan and lower control arms. I ran my pipes pretty snug to the control arm/kmember joint and I still have to be careful even with the tube K member. Live and learn I suppose.

well we will see i guess, wont know till i can get it back on the ground

Where is your Oil pressure sending unit going to be?

Re: I am the FondleMonster- and i has a turbo(build thread)

im not using one, im just using a mechanical gauge

Will that mess with anything with the PCM and any other componets PCM related since the PCM won't see any oil PSI?

Wow how did I miss this thread??? Awesome work, especially considering the time frame. I'm planning on fabbin' up a similar set up pretty soon, but I want to make forward facing headers since there are so many pot holes in my town haha.

my buddy who works at a performance shop around here (lethal performance) actually suggested it to me my sensor has been broken off for a few months now and i haven't had any problems, and he told me it was useless, and the factory sending unit isnt accurate and to use a mechanical

lil john- thanks man! its been fun, i wanted to do do forward facing headers but i slacked off lol, maybe at a future time, let me know if you have any question i might be able to answer

Re: I am the FondleMonster- and i has a turbo(build thread)

do i have to loosen the motor mounts to jack engine high enough to take the oil pan out?
