Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

[pwtr02ss]

youre going to have to settle for my big inch semi

i pulled the alternator to see if i could do down and forward, keep all the heat low but these run into the steering shaft coupler thingy. i ordered a different set that look like they put the vband on the collector about this short already but soso quality. not too concerned as i dont plan on mounting turbo right off of these.

still kicking around where to actually put the turbo

I had a joke lined up but I can’t remember it now...

I’ll take the semi

I'm prioritizing Feeding it cold air in getting a 5" down pipe out. I was thinking about putting it basically below the radiator Forward or sideways I could probably do either . But there's no good way to get a downpipe out other than through the bumper. Passenger side of engine Bay doesn't really feed fresh air to it. So my idea is to use an upgraded 28" radiator off to one side. Flex a lite makes 1with about a 3" thick core. And they have a fan shroud to put efans back on it. That gives me about 9" opening between the radiator and headlight on that side.
Bent one of the ac lines Going to find a better way to tap for the chiller to get rid of that mess

took some more stuff out of the engine bay, the hydroboost/power steering pump, brackets that hold it up.

been mostly just working on tracking down what i need to move/streamline ac hoses. i had ordered a few different suction hoses back when i first did the turbo to move it, never did, but i think i can use some of the fittings on them. i also ordered a new pressure hose from the condenser back that im going to try and straighten out and run how i want to run it- comes with new orifice also, and will prob order a new accumulator. im going to move the accumulator to the fender, all the hoses off the firewall are going to go to the fender, the suction hose that i have (the i also welded a barb on it) should be able to stay.

going to grab a battery bracket to mount it under in the back so i can put the ps pump on that side - that will shorten all the ps/hb lines and get them out of the way.

hoping HOPING all my temp issues will go away with complete head gaskets, the upgraded flexalite radiator is kinda spensive. it used to sit at 160 all day long before i started having problems.

also swapping to a different head gasket than the lsx, going to use the one with the hoops that bite into the head... pretty much guarantee the heads need to be refinished every time they come off but i hear thats what its going to take to run it turnt up all the time

No, no you didn’t. Thank God. Keep it up! Although I figured you make too much to qualify since income cutoff is 80k a year...shit you spent that much on your engine last year didn’t you? So I figured you’re pulling in 200-300k easy.

Yeah.. Didn’t see any last time, and won’t this time either. But tbh, it really should be going to those who need it. Like the small businesses, crushed by government edicts. [emoji35][emoji2959]

i wish.... i do keep my taxable income low tho HOH and a dependent. i skirted just below the threshold last year for it, i maxed out 401k contributions which wasnt much more but just enough to stay under it this year i think
