Looks great, Tobin!

Must be something on my end. I can't see the photo but from the replies it appears that others can see it.

Got some more work done. Put some photos on Imgur, so hopefully this works.

Turbos finally in their home

This was fun.....

5" Downpipe off the S400 fits

Intake Horn

Some more random photos

Man, that is one pretty truck. Always liked that generation of Ford trucks.

The pic of your daughter sitting in the wheel is one that deserves to be in a frame somewhere in your house.

DieselWrencher · 09-11-2017, 04:38 PM

Great work, and what a cute little helper you have there!

Tobin · 10-02-2017, 03:45 PM

Making a little progress even though I am away from the house. S475 compressor outlet to 4" pipe.

That hot pipe looks familiar to me, dang Ford swaps don’t offer much real estate.

Not much room at all. That HVAC box has killed me. Keeping A/C and a intercooler behind the stock grill has been a chore. From cutting the firewall back to all custom turbo piping.

I did get my air intake built the day I was at the house.

Maybe you already have or are aware but they offer a 1.15 turbine housing instead of the 1.32, Jacob at HTT hooked me up with one for my S480. He said they spool quite a bit better and work great with the twins, he said still seeing a 1000 hp out of them too.

Tobin · 12-16-2017, 05:19 PM

Progress

jlbayes · 12-18-2017, 07:32 AM

Neat way to get around the hvac box!

Thanks, that HVAC box has been a pain in the butt since day 1. I hope it has cold AC when I am done....

DieselWrencher · 12-20-2017, 05:02 PM

Nice work on the piping!

Thank you, that took a LOT of time!!

DieselWrencher · 12-21-2017, 06:14 PM

I know what you mean. I left the stock hvac box in my 72. Now I would like to put different turbos on it and that will mean all new piping. Haha
