thanks for posting up the pictures!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

I looked thru your thread but didnt see what type of hard line you used for your air ride lines. Have been thinking about this and really like the look of it but trying to determine type of line to use for it.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

I am so sorry that happened to your bed it was not like that when I saw it. What a shame.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

I used zinc coated brake line 3/8"

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Yeah I just cant believe that people have that much disrespect for other peoples goods in the shipping industry.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Well finally got the correct .69 a/r on center housing and got it bolted up! Fits like a glove. Got the a/c bracket and pump mocked up and figured out that I will have to run my 4bbl nitrous plate to get the fuel lines for the carb to clear properly. Oh well i will just have to cap that off for now ;):nx:

Finally got my Porterbuilt firewall flushing pieces in and my MSD Pro Billet distributor in.... Now just to start getting things done. I will be painting and overhauling my '03 shadow VT1100 this weekend but will continue work on the truck very soon!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Well not to much work done on the truck, just got the design laid out for the a/c bracket so it will work with my new MSD Pro Billet distributor. But I did get to use the Copperhead Metallic color from PPG on my 03 shadow VT1100!!! and practice with my new DeVilbiss GTi millennium HVLP gun! I am really liking this paint color! I am still half tempted to paint the truck this color now that I seen it in person! Heres a few pics of it

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

And yes I know I need to pick up my garage! there are beer cans and tools everywhere! lol

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

I have to paint the tank yet... but at least she is ride-able now... now back to working on the truck!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Thanks man, I am really loving it too! I have gotten tons of compliments on the bike when I am out riding it!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Well I got the Vintage Air AC bracket modified to clear the MSD Pro Billet distributor! Turned out really nice! Once I get the idler pulley bracket built to clear the water neck I will do a detailed thread on it for anyone else who wants to run an HEI and have AC.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Oh yeah forgot to add I got the power steering bracket cut and modified to fit around the turbo manifold, what a PITA that was! lol but seriously.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

That six looks busy on the front wow...

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

AC, power steering, water pump, alternator, and crank, and idler. Basically everything a modern car would have. I tried to keep it as clean as possible and spice it up with the billet pulleys over the stock looking style.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Looks good. How long before it's ready to run?

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

this is going to be so COOL ! cant wait to hear it !

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

I am thinking 2nd week in July should give me enough time to get everything ready with me only having 2.5 hours at night between the time I get home and the time I go to bed. I just got a new 3 core aluminum race radiator in tonight.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Finished the idler pulley and got it installed, The correct gates belt should be in tomorrow so I can tighten everything up there.
Got the entire front clip disassembled. Going to try and get it stripped here and shot ASAP!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Price was $240 shipped to my door.

The tig welds are not the prettiest i have seen but they do have good penetration.
