KillNThrill24 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'll be getting back to work in the next week or so (finally!) And it hit me that I have tons of connections now and I'm probably going to end up taking a welding class for my new job before all is said and done so I'm really considering fabbing up my own hotside for my turbo build... it would save me a pretty good amount of money and allow me to say "hell yeah I built that". Couple of my buddies say hell yeah let's do it.Anybody here try anything like it? If so got any pics or tips? Or should I avoid the whole thing in general and buy a CG?Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 @Forcefedhatch has built a handful of turbo kits for his cars. I say do it. The experience you get will be irreplaceable. Your car isn't a daily so you won't have to worry about how long it will takeSent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillNThrill24 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Actually my car is my daily Bryan lol but its no big deal because In the summer I have multiple choices on vehicles to drive so it won't matter much. But Mr Dubasak keeps telling me that we'll get it done so I'm actually beginning to think maybe we can get it doneAnd thanks forcefedhatch I'll definitely check out your feed when I get home tonight for some ideas. Any help I can get on this the better! Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Haha, what's it matter when you can go pick a Sbm 360 for less then $100 at any junk yard? Iirc that Dakota lived like that for quite a while, on the stock 318 bottom end. I'm game for any project Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Please please please turbo the ZJ! We attempted to turbocharge my friends XJ a long time ago but failed miserably because we were young and stupid.Sent from Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillNThrill24 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Good point Donovan... There are tons of zjs at the local junkyard too. Okay I'm game. But Mustang needs to get done first lol. O and I can't until I get the trans crossmember remounted somehow. Might attempt to weld it myself when the weather breaks in the springSteve LOL I'm still young, and pretty stupid, but I've got a lot of comrades who are a little older and just as stupid so maybe we can make it workSent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 whats wrong with the crossmember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillNThrill24 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The frame at that spot rotted and gave out. Frame behind it looks clean just needs some crafty weldingSent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefedhatch Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Weld in some "C" channel. . May as well make them into full length subframes while your at it.. If ya do.. make sure the suspension is preloaded before and final frame welding.. even for the crossmember.. you'll thank me and so will your pinion upon acceleration. .wouldn't hurt to measure the pinion angle of a car with a good frame under it.. just to get you in the ball parkGalaxy S4 Active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillNThrill24 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Awesome thinking man I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I'll have to check around for some c channel.
