V1 Ghostknife's #383 Track SS/SC

[Ghostknife]

Hope everyone is good, long time no update. Things have been busy here with the new baby! Still making progress on the Goblin though. Upon tear down I found that the fuse block in the engine bay was completely corroded from the rain I got caught in when in Florida. So I will be sourcing a new one soon. Oil change has been completed and some blown fuses were replaced. Oh and also turbo time !! Almost complete, just a few more hours of work on it and I should be ready for first start

Nice. Let me know when you want me to bring your tuner back

I’ll get with you via phone this week

I have a spare fuse block in my garage. Not completely sure if they are the same from year to year, but it’s from an 06 LSJ. PM me if interested and we can chat.

For what it's worth, on a similar setup, I managed to route my turbo oil supply line to the outside/passenger side of the exhaust manifold, rather than through it. I can get a better picture later if you'd like.

I appreciate that, i was thinking about the heat issues with the routing. I just have everything mocked up right now, just for fitment.

Hey, I actually have a fuse box on the way from a salvaged cobalt. It's yours for cheap as I only needed the plastic cover. I can message you when It shows up, if you'd like

 

[Ghostknife]

Getting closer! Fuse box is in, OTTP belt swap kit is on, new alternator is on, intercooler is almost plumbed in.

Still to do: Boost Controller/ vac lines and tuning

Intercooler/bumper? LOL! Just kidding! Your build is coming together nicely, can't wait to see what the chassis dyno numbers show.

I ordered a new I/C, this one was too large and I didn't like the fitment. I also got all the wiring for the boost controller ran today along with the Vac lines for the wastegate, boost controller/gauge. I tidied up the wiring around the motor as well. I brought in the home made gauge panel to add in the controller as well.

Still left to do is:

1. install new I/C and plumb
2. wire wideband into HPT for tuning purposes.
3. something else, I don't remember.

I'm all for stupid-short exhaust off of a turbo, but yours, at least in that picture, may be a bit tooo short lol

I want to see this dash installed, are you going to paint, upholster, or fiberglass it maybe?

It’s black ABS plastic that’s just the paper cover on it. It mounts below the gauge cluster using the lower bolts.

I think that is just the BOV, but it is short. I don't see any exhaust piping yet.

I don't see any exhaust piping yet.

Welcome to the party, Thad!

Haha I def thought it was a wooden mock-up, but I see the paper now. Builds looking great

 

[Ghostknife]

Got the keyed power fuse panel hooked up and tested out. Will tidy the wiring tomorrow!

I see you've adopted my motto
