Project turbo regal begins

[charlief1]

Lol... I like your comment. It actually gets nice in the north. My regal has no rust at all on it and I am further north than he is.

Build looks great so far. All I had to do when I did my swap was move the mounts back to a different set of holes in the K. The engine is less than a finger width away from the firewall and everything lines up perfectly..

But I don't think you guys use salt on the road like the northern section of the USA. Don't know much about Canadian roads in the winter myself.:smile:

Calcium Chloride I think is what they spray on the roads here, some pretty nasty stuff... I can see it all over my daily in the winter. I think it may be similar to the salt you guys use..

What accessories are you planning on using on the engine? Are you using the truck intake?

what is your plain for hot exhaust and turbo mount setup

Im building my own, going to do log style manfolds with the crossover pipe in the front. Im mounting the turbo right behind the inner headlight so I can use that opening as a air inlet for the turbo

Im using the truck accessories and yes im using the truck intake.

Heres a couple pics i took today, mocked up the frame for the dash with wood before I buy some aluminum square tubing.

I've always wanted to start with a blank canvas like that, and make my own glass dash/console... seems like it would be fun with some white-faced auto meter gauges.

Here are some examples of such work... mine would match the buick theme, but this gives you an idea.

Also, on Extreme 4X4, they did a REALLY cool one for the truggy project.
