Ford Probe GT 2.5L KLDE Turbo

[Onyxhammer]

the CBR1000R coils, ignitor, and the ignition amplifier showed up last week so we should have all of the pieces for the MS. Hoping to see the intake done by the end of this week so I'll get you guys pictures when I can

Tim, when your done with all that, come visit me rent free for a few weeks

[Onyxhammer]

Haha, I'm going to have a live-in tuner first! =P

[Onyxhammer]

Had a bunch of different things that have come up for Tim and I. But, got to spend some time at the shop this weekend to finally see the car's current status. Waiting for the rest of the glass to come out hopefully this week, ordering all of the 1 3/4" DOM tubing for the roll cage this week, and should hopefully see some more pretty pictures of the intake by the end of this week.


Tim managed to get the rest of the hot pipes welded together with the T4 flange so might be able to get some additional pictures up this week or next of the turbo fully mounted and the oil pan tapped.

Here's the T4 flange mounted, it looks a little off simply due to a difference of materials.

Collector is complete (minus WG, but that'll get done when its mounted on the car).

Another update for everyone that has been wondering about the intake.



There is still a lot of work left to do but this is the general idea of how it will look.

The pieces that still need to be finished:
Cutting end caps, finalize the welding for the end caps, fabricating the intake side for the throttle body, and a few other minor things here and there but its definitely starting to take shape!

Looking good, glad to see it progressing!

[polarexpress17]

the plenum ends need cut to accept the end caps

[Onyxhammer]

Back at it again. Exhaust side is completed; collector, turbo, downpipe, and exhaust is all complete (minus WG of course.)

Here are some more pictures for you guys!

i still disagree with custom manis that clear the hood. Tdown . BUt other then that, i'd put you to work on my piping.

It's sexy isn't it? Watching him weld and seeing his beads is pretty legit.

Waiting on the glass tech to come remove the rest of the glass. There is still quite a bit of work to do but it's getting there.

[Onyxhammer]

This is what the exhaust looks like completed.

it looks pretty dang good. cant even see where it was welded. what kind of welder did he use? i have an exhaust leak in my magnaflow and cant use the ark at house, what did he use?

[polarexpress17]

Its actually not welded yet, i just pulled it off the car after tacking everything in place.

Mike, im hoping that the added runner length inside the plenum will alleviate the no torque issue of hood clearing custom IMs

[probe,man]

so tack will do the job? and hold it?
