new pics
At the risk of being called the son of hustler, for taking so long to swap motors and turbo setups , I'm posting some new pics of the motor and turbo in the car. Interesting notes: the intercooler pipes on the driver's side extend pretty far into the wheel well. with the wheel turned full right lock there's about 1.5 to 2 inches of clearance. the compressor out tube passes under one of the sway bar mounting bolts. the 1.8 motor places the A/C compressor within a 1/4 inch of my FM front sway bar. will have to drop the sway bar when I finish reinstalling the A/C. Plenty of clearance between the downpipe and the heater hoses. I used FM's method of substituting a flexible radiator hose for the coolant return hose. My BEGI down pipe has the friggin O2 bung that is near the cat located on the ****** bottom of the pipe, totaly useless and I will have to drill and weld a new bung on it. I used to be able to get alot more work done on the car before I got remarried
