Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

[TitaniumTT]

So with 85 days let I really didn't get a lot done tonight... Managed to get the turbo and manifold off and on the 'vert engine with a Cosmo intake. This way I can mock up the coolant hardlines for the turbo and wastegates on the engine stand and then just transfer them over. I'm also going to rotate the CHRA 17* to create a thermal siphon when the engine shuts down. The way I had the turbo plumbed before when you shut the engine down, the heat from the mani and the turbine housing soaks into the CHRA and I've heard the coolant bubbling before and had one or two coolant lines fail.... oddly... they only fail when the engine is off.... sooooo yeah... need to address that.

Once the CHRA is rotated and locked down, back on the car with all the new lines I'll build an inlet pipe to get the air filter up into the corner behind the headlight and rebuild the AST. The coolant line exit is going to feed straight uphill into the new AST. I'll also build a new overflow tank out of sight just to clean things up a bit and not hinder the location of the air filter.

I think for this round I'll focus one area at a time. Breaking it down into four segments we've got all the mechanical and electrical under the hood. I've got some shit to do to the interior, and some mechanical stuff on the exterior. Then there's always the misc stuff that's nice to do but not required.

So the list for under the hood is as follows.
Coolant hairlines for turbo and wastegates
Swap springs out for 10psi
tweaking the open dump tube
New turbo drain hose
4port dual solenoids and braided Teflon hoses for wastegates.
New AST
New overflow tank.
Turbo inlet tubing with AIT sensor
TiAL BOV with braided lines
New open element AIT sensor
New clutch hardline
New plugs and wires
Quick swap mounts for Quicksilver and D585 coils (yeah, I'm still doing this)
New Overflow tank
3" Vbands before the cans (right now the exhaust is still one piece and it's a MOTHERFUCKER to get in and out with as big as it is....
New alternator - fuck you all
Tranny.

Pretty sure that's everything that needs doing under the hood. I want to up the size of the oilcoolers and remount them farther back and re do the brake ducting. However that will wait. After that list is all done I'll move onto the interior and the wiring that I've got to do.... Anyway... all I really got done tonight was removing the turbo and mani, reclocking it and figuring out all the bits and pieces that I need to order tomorrow so I can keep at it on Thursday. Love Verocious Motorsports... their standard shipping is usually overnight if they have everything in stock
