Scotty Dont Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Sounds like a different motor would be a better route then, good luck let me know if you need any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nother update! Motor and trans crossmembers are donezo and the car is sitting on its own 4 wheels with no support from anything for the first time in days! Also thought i had the colum to rack situation figured out but i dropped it cause it was way to much of a pita. Probably just going to get all 240 stuff from the end of the column to the the rack. Did get the rack in, centered and the wheels eyballed straight and checked out the angle though. Looks like a tub is in order as i rub baaaaaaad at full lock, can't wait to drive it.http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-20_17-31-06_751.jpghttp://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-18_16-00-34_700.jpghttp://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-20_17-32-14_950.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOSTED88tsi Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Here's an update that ive been wanting to do for a while.... I FINALLY HAVE WORKING STEERING. It took a bunch of trouble shooting but its finally done. Here's what had to happen to get it to work.. I had to go to the junkyard and buy 2 240sx steering shafts. You also need two 240sx steering u joints. I pulled the collumn, cut the stock coupler off and welded a brand new oem 240sx u joint to the end of the collumn that goes through the firewall. Then you take your two 240sx steering shafts and cut the splined end off one of them . I put that piece on to the end of the other shaft so no both ends are splined. Then its just getting the shaft length right so you can remove it. Then it all gets welded up and installed! and doooooone! 240sx return line matches are subframe perfectly.http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-24_17-48-17_162.jpg3/8 tranny cooler line for the return ran away from the headershttp://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-24_17-48-01_781.jpgsteering shafthttp://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-24_17-47-51_626.jpgsteering shaft againhttp://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-24_17-47-39_297.jpgFor the feed im using a -6 teflon braided line which a local shop is making for me...Basically headers and routing my harness and i can start this skank!

Blue Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well done. I'd love to swap over to a 240sx or Mustang steering system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well i'd definitely go 240 over mustang if you want to keep the 54b. Mustang is in the front of the cross member and would require custom steering pieces like john has as well as a rear sump oil pan and pick up tube to be made for the g54b to clear the rack. Im not sure if the 240 rack will clear a stock pan but we'll find out short enough when scotty don't converts his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss is going to be building them as i know it will be way easier for him but ill be there for moral support haha... I ran the wiring harness on the engine side of things today probably going to have to hole saw and grommet the firewall to get this huge arse plugs through but it doesn't bother me! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-25_17-46-59_482.jpgMissing a couple things haha?!http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/2011-07-25_17-46-36_343.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOHO Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I ran it through the A/C ports hole like serpent did. At this point I don't even have the blower motor in the dash...Something I need to do soon. I also need to do my gauges. What are you going to do with the exhaust. I always wondered what an ls1 would sound like coming out of one 3" apexi muffler...lol. I think it would add to the "sleeper"..ness...?
