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

[pwtr02ss]

except i wish it were deep in the 9s already

yea im sure ill come back around with it, if i buy turbo i can atleast get it all back together and just turn it down (we all know how long thatll last)

the VSRacing turbo is a little beat...rebuild last time made it quit puking oil but it still is trying to get out. the exhaust side was pretty much stuck to the center section by burnt oil. i got it free'd up and cleaned up - the exhaust wheel looks like it tried to pass the broken piece of valve guide, couple bent blades. just using it for mock up for now to get an idea of how much room ill need

Stop it. You're making me RANDY bby

Turbo's playing Peek -A- Boo !!

i think i am going to make another air dam on that side with just the opening for the turbo inlet, but itll be a little too exposed with out filter so you wont get to see the spinny wheel all the time

Haven't done much but order crap , but here ya go. I can probably start mocking up with stock head but I already cleaned the block all up and waiting on refreshed. I may email them tomorrow to see how long it's lookin. If a while still ill go ahead with stock head so I can do something atleast. Usually when I email I get the shipping notice an hour later and feel like an impatient dikhead but o well.

I just like watching the parts come in. That’s always been the favorite part of my builds no matter if it’s Harleys trucks or anything else. Gives me a *****.

emailed; said they are ready for reassembly and early next week heads should ship out.

so i will prob wait or not i dont know. just dont feel like putting old head and headgasket back on the block running a few bolts in it means ill have to scrape the block again, blow out the bolt holes again, oil down all the surfaces so they dont rust, etc etc....thought maybe if i can place a thin layer of saran wrap over the block and then the old head gasket and head so i can mock up some turbo pipes.
sittin around sucks.. ordered some pipe fab clamp thingys cause imma have a couple back to back to back that i need to all line up before i tack anything in place. i dont think theyre coming till next week anyway
