NOTE: Continued from PART 2 CLICK HERE
Wow, this season has flown by so far! I just realised that I never really showed you guys the finishing touches on this project so here you are.....
The turbo intake began by removing all of the stock intake plenum and hand building an aluminum floor to close off the area. then we used a short piece of tubing for the connection point for the turbo inlet hose-here it is mocked into place in the hood...
Once fit and fine tuned, a little good old black paint to make it blend right in...
Then we went to town on the headlight! We gutted the light housing, cut the entire backside off and kept trimming until all we had left was the outer lense and a couple mounting points. Then we cut the outer lense into a skeleton frame to be covered with intake screen. here's a shot of it all trimmed up and mocked into place...
Here it is all covered with intake screen and installed in the sled...
Then, some light flexible aluminum tubing to connect the plenum to the turbo inlet...
The last hurdle was getting the coolant overflow tank in the system-we found that the best route was to fab up this narrow little aluminum tank and install it on the pto side of the frame for the cleanest hose routing...
Next, fabbed up a simple guage bracket and mounted the guages...
Then we fired her up , bled the systems and loaded up to head for the Boise snow show where we met up with our friends from Timbersled Products and piled in the booth with them for the show.
and here's a shot of Project Pro sitting in the Mod show...
She won Editors choice at the Mod show which was pretty cool and we finally got to meet a bunch of our customers from Idaho and put faces to names which is always a good time!
The following Monday, we met with Ken, Project Pros new owner, and spent a day on the snow with him and then he hauled it home to Oregon where he's been piling on the miles ever since.
End of story....sniff....
