Building a Boosted Duratec
#97
BTW Happy Easter!!

So, details mon. lol
I had sometime today after a service call for CN. I decided I wanted the rear end of the car on the ground.

I previously had to cut and clean up the mounting areas for the new hardware from Massive. I had to open the gaps on everything because Massive uses metal bushings. Very nice equipment.
I took every bolt and greased it with Amsoil's Synthetic Racing Grease. I will never have to worry about those bolts seizing in the sleeves again.

I love that Purple

So then I took out the Ksports and cleaned up the threads and just mounted them as Joey had them setup for Ken. I figured that was the best setup for me as well.

Also I had installed my Steeda Rear Sway Bar. Dam that thing is almost twice the thickness of the stock one. It's really from ADDCCO Sway Bars. It says right on it... But I am dam sure this thing will never pop a squat in the corners again.

The cup needed to be adjusted big time. I left it at the bottom of the post and dropped the jack. The dam car sat so low I couldn't get the jack out or even pump it up. The fenders even crushed the tires too lol. What a PITA. Got it back up and put the cups 75% of the way up. They still need to be higher for drivability but I will be rolling my fenders far out there too.

Tire in the air before the drop

After the drop. I can't even get my finger in there. And don't start saying I have chubby fingers lol

It is just sitting perfectly the way I want it too.

I went back to the motor and bolted on the DP to the turbo. I had new bolts before so I just used those with some locktite.

This is a 3" DP from FSwerks but it was made for a 2.5" exhaust hook up. Not the nicest work but I will fix that shortly

I was able to fit my T3 turbo blanket from PTP. It is a little big but it always the wastegate room to function and protect everyrthing else from heat. Plus I have some Heat Wrap to go on the DP and the Firewall of the car, so I shouldn't have anything melting on me lol

I bet I am producing some rare pictures with this build. I don't think many people have seen work this detailed with images explaining everything and have the engine out of the car showing the hard to reach areas too. Tell me if I'm wrong lol

This week I will have my control arms and front suspension done. Plus the engine bay will have a shinny paint job and a fresh look to it.

Thanks for reading this far. Stay classy FC.
