Nope, been to cold and the rain has been brutal here. My yard is a swamp and where i parked it needs to dry out alot before i can get it out of there without either getting stuck or tearing up my yard. Virginia red clay is like eel snot. Hopefully the coming weeks will be dry.......nope just looked rain and lots of it almost all next week. Guess Ill just go ride w @lorenzo816 at Windrock next week lol

Hi again MrDunge. Any updates ?

I powerwashed the 97 and the 89....does that count. I am gonna try to work on the 89 this weekend if my schedule cooperates. I do have all the parts......but i still have to drag it out the mud hole in the yard, it was drying up but it poured rain today......

I'm curious if this project is still going on? I plan on doing a very similar build

 

[MrDunge]

I am but the project had to be put on hold. I do disaster relief as a private contractor. As you might have noticed I've been busy this year. I'm hoping to finish it first of the year. I have all the parts but none of the time.

That sounds like me!

I’m having the same problem

Really fantastic work despite the problems ..i have been wanting to turbo my 89 as well (irritated hill climping truckers stink eyes) my trip across Texas in a head wind up a grade really had me wishing i had one.. So i'm hoping all your future work will prove fruitful. i will be following along and hopefully plotting my own soon enough... cheers.

Sounds sweet and good luck. I will be especially interested in what you do with oil supply and return lines as well as intercooler mounting and exhaust setup.

I am installing a turbo on my 89 topless blond I used a donut from a 95 that bolts on before your filter no drilling the oil pan

Fascinating. This is a huge help. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? Any photos?

To use the donut you have to drill and tap the part that holds the filter on

I wanted to post a video but it was too long so it didn’t let me post it

 

[Wmamula04]

I’d post it on YouTube or throw it into a google drive and share the link.
