Racing in glorious black and red

My daily life is a Saab story (sold!)

Huh, they mount it to the strut turret in the Volvo? I made a mounting bracket from some junkyard bits to avoid drilling into the turret, seems like it weaken it.

I say nothing for fear of getting beat with a baseball bat. I like the new routing though!

Here's a photo of the Volvo expansion tank:



Finished simple cooling system:



And the new custom turbo/IC hoses:



... mounted the cossie FPR yesterday, waiting on a few AN fittings from eBay to finish off the oil system.

Looks pretty nice, but also a whole lotta work to keep those 2 stupid pipes on the side of the block! Why not just find 2 straight pieces or just run hose, instead of blocking all the extra bits off?

Glad to see the sticky tape didn't end up in a giant ball for the IC hoses...

One of them was already blocked, took 2 seconds to block the other... the side outlets are different sizes and doing a 180 bend might be tough. Whatever, the bits to block it were on hand and other stuff wasn't, I took the easy route for what was on hand. Can always tweak it later. Priority #1 is getting the engine to start.

btw, copper plumbing bits from home depot and some solder make for nice coolant lines

Just dug this thread up...doesnt' look like we see anything running to the turbo or intake manifold here....is this car running yet?

Pretty good thread. Probably wasting time starting my own...I'll duplicate this set up...I like it!

I did, and I was thinking I should look closer at mine and see how they are different! Let me guess...Super Bitching engine mounts?? They look sweet!
