I'm drooling.I used a universal intercooling kit to save some $$$. This is the one I used.
The intake I used a KN filter. I struggled getting that big Donaldson air filter everyone likes to use to fit in my truck, the K&N was a breeze.
Only other cost was extra silicone boots to adapt the piping to my turbo and the CDD intake hat. Even tho it worked fine, I’d recommend the v-banded intake manifold.
Also gotta think about crank case ventilation. I deleted my CDR and routed 12AN hose from my timing cover plate to a catch can and then into the intake. Works really well and doesn’t suck up any oil from the timing cover plate.You must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attach
In truth, I had given up on the C350 years ago, and believed all that was left was for me to finally "get over it" and sell to someone else.
But then the opportunity literally came out of nowhere for the free donor engine and transmission.
Unfortunately, as with most freebies, it's sitting on a forested property with a frozen rear end, having sat there like that for over 15 years.
I'm going to have to do the swap there, under a HF portable garage stuffed under some trees to avoid as much wind and snow as possible, with a pop up canopy for a work station.
Mostly just getting it running for now with 088 rebuild and Garret upgrade, 110 cc pump rebuild, and stage 1 injectors. Everything is already sent in and paid for.
That is some nice looking meticulous work.
