Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
I got another batch of stuff in. I am really close here. Not much more left. I have an exhaust shop that may want to do the work too luckily for not much money. I am also going to purchase a "J" length pipe myself since they're inexpensive, and let the shop create the entire downpipe after the turbo with what they have, and then I'll wrap both pipes.
My next two groupings are the rest of the oil fittings and electric fan setup. The other will be the entire intake system which will be the most expensive part.
Once I have it all, I'm going to run the oil lines, cap them off, bring a bunch of wrenches and such to retard timing in a parking lot setting, and then Get the turbo mounted, the carburetor and cleaned up manifold will already be on. I figure I can eat the poor fuel economy for a 20 minute trip to make things easier on myself.
I also wish my phone didn't take funky pictures here for some reason, but this is what came today:
I got:
2x wastegate flanges - $3.50 each
T3 flange w/ metal gasket - $15.00
5 ft of -6AN hose - $20
Oil filter adapter - $20
And the other thing i bought which hasn't showed up yet is the oil filter, I got a wix 51515 filter to mount on top of the gasket once I put it on.
I found this oil sandwich plate on a Honda forum and the idea I liked a lot. Instead of a system of brass T's on the sensor, I leave the sensor alone, unscrew the oil filter, screw this on in its place with the adapter, then screw the filter on top of this - and can run up to 3 things off of it. I am only doing a oil pressure gauge for one, and the turbo feed on the other. The holes are drilled into the filtered oil side, so should be good to go. I'm routing the 5' of line from here around the back of the head to the turbo, unless I decide to mount it closer to the front of the motor, then I will run it parallel with the stock fuel line, remove the fuel line, and run fuel behind the head. I just dont like routing hoses across the valve cover at all. I also want this entire install to look nice.
I also got a Holley 2300 to see what my options are and it was cheap ($30). I'll determine which one will run better (2300 or 2150) , and likely sell the other.
I am $300 deep so far in this project which is under my expectation. The fan part really isn't necessary, but I need to replace the one I have for room and because it looks kinda trashy now that it's a little dented and the paint rubbed off. The intake piping will set me back along with the carb hat, but I expect all will come in under $1k hopefully.
