Okay, so back in April I picked up an old non-wastegated Banks system, but I put the project on hold as I also had to replace the engine (cracked cylinder wall) and didn't have time or money to do the work.
Well, I got a good deal on a used 93 non-turbo with 136k on it out of a van, that's suppose to be a runner, for $600. So, I've got my old engine out and am in the process of swapping everything from my engine over, including: wiring harness (since Mother Ford decided the wiring harness plug needed to come from different sides depending on if the model began with an 'E' or an 'F'), fuel filter since the air box with my turbo kit doesn't fit with the van one, which required me to swap the dip stick (I thought it would have been cool to have the longer van one), my injectors since I had them popped tested before the engine was declared dead, exhaust manifolds, oil cooler, fuel pump (since I couldn't get the feed pipe off either of them and they are specific to which fuel filter set-up they go to), vacuum pump, oil pan (since the van one had a patch job on the front that was weeping oil), starter (recently replaced mine), new glow plugs (the Motorcraft ones), and fuel return lines and caps (since mine were brand new), and I'm considering swapping the water pump since mine is new and I'm right there anyways.
So, with that outta the way, the new engine will be going in with the turbo attached, and having really looked at this thing, I realized I'm missing some things that I need help locating.
The CDR relocator I saw I can get from Banks, anyone have any idea on cost?
The backing plate for the intake. I think I could fab something, but if it's cheap enough, I'll just use it.
The oil supply line that comes up the driver's side of the block as well as the 'junction block.' Is this really necessary? I noticed on Agnem's Hypermax install it used the oil pressure sending unit location on the back of the block.
The glow plug solenoid relocation bracket. Again, I'm sure I could fab something but it'd be easier if I could just buy it, if the price is right.
I think that's it. If anyone has any other pointers on my project, I'd love to hear them. I know I also need to get some more fuel return line to reroute it towards the front to keep it away from the turbo. Also, what has everyone done to reduce the heat coming through the firewall/floor? There's some heat blankets attached to it, but is there a source everyone uses? I plan on coating some of the pipes (at least, the ones I can fit in the oven) with that 2k degree rattle can paint anything else. I know I can use exhaust wrap, but it's a big pain and the last time I did it, it dryrotted and fell off.
All right, that's it for now. Assist me oh great men and women of the kingdom of IDI.
