Once you get it leak proofed, I'd use a piece of split 3/4 or 1" ptfe hose zip tied over those lines. I'm not sure I'd trust that foam to the heat or wind under there.

Yeah, right when you posted that, i added to my todo notes to replace with piece of rubber mat…i have a bunch cargo rubber mats from trucking stuff and they are 1/8” thick rubber made from recycled tires..and also a piece between the supply braided line and drain line for extra chaffing protection.

Yeah, the rubber mat will be better and zip-tie it securely.
The pipes look great!

Wind, rain, cold day 6.
i got a little done today between the busted knuckels, screams, cussing, and kicking things.
got the wastegates installed, turbo oil supply and drain lines cut to size and fittings added and installed/tightened. Used a piece of high density foam from one of the boxes wastegates came in to keep oil supply fitting from rubbing/smacking/rattling against bottom of tranny.
got the cold side steel pipes back from my friend…had them powder coated black…did not like the raw stainless with weld rainbow stains…you wont see it all, but i will see it in my mind 😬

Please, please, use Zipties to stand these off of each other.

Happy? 🤔😂

Between rain squalls and mist i got some done.
installed wastegate vacuum lines and tightened wastegates, added rubber matting to various areas to prevent rubbing..zip tied all lines clear of exhaust and moving parts. Installed cold side pipes and hoses to intercooler and clocked cold side of turbos and tightened. Fixed broken lower grill in facia(dealer damage) and removed grill scat pack emblem…fixed a few clamps so the bolts were not pointing down.
i am pretty much done under the car other than a final check of everything and leak check after warmup. I still have to do a few minor things:
intercooler to engine hoses/pipes with race bov
Install new air temp and map sensors
reinstall alternator
regap all 16 plugs to .015
install fuel pump voltage booster and injectors
Reconnect battery
start her ip and check for leaks and if ok, let her warmup and repeat leak check
reinstall facia
reinstall coolant tank
install new thermostat and reinstall radiator and heater hoses.
before reinstalling some the hoses, and coolant, i want to install the stainless hose braid and red powder coated ends.

Happy? 🤔😂

Not quite! I was suggesting to do this which will work better than foam on the hoses. This is a technique we use on race cars and aircraft when hoses are near each other. Prevents rubbing and helps them stay in place.

 

[cihlenfeld]

The foam was between the oil supply and transmission bellhousing. I changed it so that it has a rubber mat wrapped around foam and lines…the other is a piece of rubber mat between the oil line and drain line which were not touching, just very close.

Some weird shiny bright yellow thing was in sky today…managed get most of it finished…just have a few odds n ends to do. also earlier i had a homer simpson “doh“ moment when i realized i forgot to put the serpentine belt back on and had to remove the turbo oil pump to put it on…then again another “doh” when realized i routed it wrong and need to unbolt it again. Actually, i just practicing for future belt changes 😬😵‍💫
also started installing the stainless hose braid, but seems radiator hose to large a diameter for my braid..oh well, i will still use the powder coated collars.
i should be firing her up later tomorrow 🤞
then check for leaks and let her run a while to warm everything up and leak check again…if all good will put the front back on sunday.

Here is why its called “hidden sleeper”

turbo? What turbo 😁

 

[White Elemant]

@cihlenfeld how will the tuning be handled?

 

[cihlenfeld]

Dyno tune

 

[White Elemant]

Better not drive it there 😏

 

[Torred392Daytona]

Holy moly, so cool.

If you were going to install this for someone how much would you charge for labour? In USD where I assume you live

 

[CE9311]

In the tune, I would almost suggest disabling the Short Runner Valves and keep it in long runner mode. Or switch to a 6.1 Intake.

 

[cihlenfeld]

Holy moly, so cool.

I would only ever do this again when on a lift…but its around 30hr labor and avg shop charges $120hr for this sort thing.

 

[cihlenfeld]

parts left over..wonder if they important?

jk…they were replaced

 

[cihlenfeld]

All back together and let it run a while..no leaks.
but few issues could use help with.
1. Is there a way to make sure air is out of cooling system? Cant fit all the coolant i drained, so must be some air trapped and i dont know if is a bleed screw like on 5.7
2. My srt pages are now missing and drive mode btn does nothing.
3. how to post video of exhaust sound?
4. Remote start shuts off like 10 secs after and msg says “remote start disabled, press start to reset”…i am assuming this is because car is still on jack stands and angle is affecting it. Launch mode btn does not work due to not on level ground, so maybe why remote start shuts off after 5-10 sec?

while she was apart, i installed some of the hose braid..damned rad hose to large a diam so couldnt do that…did others and also added my new caps and dipstick.

 

[cihlenfeld]

She lives…

can hear turbo whine near end video
