Re: Top Mount PT6262 M Coupe Turbo Build
New throttle cable just arrived. Had to make a new bracket to hold the TB side cable end. The factory bracket didn't allow for the correct clearance or allow any adjustment to get the play out of the cable. So here you go, now we can
Picked up the fittings and line for the oil cooler today and got started on that this evening
We oddly enough picked an oil cooler which uses inverted flare fittings. To get them to the standard blue/red fitting had to cut the fitting supplied with the cooler and weld on AN standard flare fittings
After their surgery
Almost there!
Well guys we are almost there! Waiting on a few last pieces to finish up the fab work, AEM water/meth and HKS muffler so I can finish up the exhaust. Other than those two things engine wise we are set to go! Wideband and EBC still need to be installed and wired. By that time we should have our base tune from Nick G and be ready to head to the east coast for Nick to custom tune the car in person on the dyno.
I want to thank everyone that has been following the build. I appreciate everyones comments and input along the way! My fab guy ( Shawn @ www.1552v2.com)started this project 100% new to fabrication work of this sort and having never touched a TIG before, it was surely a learning experience for him! Thanks again for the support throughout and we should soon have the dyno #'s and videos we have all been waiting for!
So, who's ready?
Exhaust Done!
Underside shot
Some outside quick/dirty glamour shots, just awaiting the ECU!

I don't mind canister mufflers but does it have to be "carbon wrapped" and full of rivets?
Also is it angled so much for looks? because it shouldnt be on such a beautiful car.
Overall very nicely done. cant wait to see some numbers!

Exhaust looks alright. Everything else is ****! Personally i would have just ran a straight pipe angled out like BC spec2.
Still love the car and build man!

Sick car! I would rock that shizz exactly as is. Yes, even with the exhaust. Everything is open to opinions since it's on a public board, but props to doin it your way.
Make sure to post a video on some startups and some with the car goin at it so we can see the power!
