Andy and I had a great day in the shop----mostly noodle time-- we have now found a place to mount the oil pressure accumulator to protect the turbo's v journal bearings. We also spent a good bit of time on how to mount the instrument panel, the brake & gas pedals.
The largest success is most likely the THERMAL shield plan---it will take 20 times longer to build it than the 2 hrs it took us to NOODLE---but I think we are on the right track. Part of this time spent in the area was the plenum area and the air intake system. I have really been thinking about how to protect the turbos from salt and other debris ---we think that we now know how to put two flat type air cleaners---one flat just below the small scoops intake and one at a 45 deg. angle in front of the two tubes that run down toward the turbos.
my head hurts--
we got the oil filter location figured out but we still-- need a place to mount the MSD and the ECU, that will mostly be used for turbo control and data logging this year.
