Haven't updated in a while. I've ditched the turbo setup and went with aluminum heads and a custom grind cam.

This time around I'll be using a short block I rebuilt. I am going for a reliable build I don't have to monitor so closely like a boosted application.
I'm pretty close to having this thing done. I'm waiting for a buddy to finish welding my exhaust flanges.

This picture shows that e30v8 brackets need to be notched for clearance and reinforced as they started bowing.


Relocated fuse box mocked up


Radiator stuffed in there

Im running an old nathans that a buddy had layin around from his nova. Same demensions as the e30 rad just like a 3" rather then 1" then cut out the rad support and moved rverything forward so i could fit a taurus fan behind it. Nvr gets above 192 now with the t fan.

what radiator are you running mine gets a little warm some times when i am going for it on a hot day

Going to try a summit 2-row radiator. I'll let you know how it handles the heat. I measure the max dimendions and stuffed it in there. Has room for dual fans and intercooler.

19x27.35x2.25

Love it dude, I'm in the process of the same build. I will be hitting you up from time to time with questions! I love the manifolds, where did you get them? Are they custom or brand specific?

Check my build and let me know if you have any suggestions.

Super late response, sorry. N/a manifolds were bbk shortys with v-bands. Turbo manifolds were custom built for a 94-95 5.0.

Hmu with any questions. I wish i wouldve documented the process to help others.

I've been dealing with overheating issues. Finally registered and street ready

I tried keeping the stock 325E radiator and I dont think its efficient enough to keep up with my electric water pump.

Just ordered a summit aluminum unit. 19x27.35x2.25

Cv joint died. Tried replacing today, original shafts where rusted to hub bearing. Bearing got damaged from so much pounding to remove Cv shaft, now I get to do bearings haha.



Got around to wiring a battery disconnect. Need to add rivets bolts are kinda lame.

Sorry for the lack of updates. The car is back up and running and i will be posting info and pictures.

The setup is running well, still not tuned. Now I'm working on poly bushings and getting some more miles on it.
