Well

Putting a smaller radiator in the front fascia area. I had a 31 x 19 but obviously now it won't work with the turbo. Crazy stuff. Yhe tranny cooler will be mounted behind it and is about the same size as the raidator.

Sweet setup!
I am doing something similar, but I am running an X-trim. I like where you located the intercooler. Do you have any pics of it that might show the cage? Particularly where your front bars land in relation to the intercooler. That cooler is about the same size as the one I have here and we cannot seem to get in the dash like yours. I was about to just install it on the pass side floor until I saw your pics.
Thanks in advance! I know what your going through trying to fit so much stuff in a small package, and make it look good while doing it. You're doing an outstanding job, my hats off to you!

Well

The intercooler need the metal heater box cvut oput as well as part of the dah bracing which means I have to install a crossbrace. The rollcage is coming down just before the dash. I would tlak to Bob Hood. He is the super street racer who did it. That man has mad skills. The turbo is a 101 mm. She was built to haull. Hope I could help man. I would like to see your setup.

Oh

ANother problem we ran into with space is the stock master cylinder and power booster. The custom header is way to close for comfort so I have to run a manual chrylser master cylinder. Similar to the willwood one in summit. This got rid of the proportioning valve the only problem I can think of now is what to cut the piston length too. That and apparently turbo eat trannies so I have to geta really big tranny cooler. I had the B and M 70266 and that was way to small. Also anyone know on whats all involved ina 25.5 spec cage.

VERY nice! Youve done an amazing job getting that all in there. What muffler is that? Looks like a bullet thats been cut down and rewelded.

Im getting ready to mounta similar sized turbo in my car after the first of the year with an LS1 and have a large water/air cooler to put in the dash as well.

Again, nice job!

You can go see your local chassis builder or you can buy the spec sheets right from SFI if you want to build your own cage. They're only $35. You won't find any free information online.
