Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

welp, with the hot side off getting coated, I turned my attention to the cold side. first thing was to mount the intercooler.
because im going for that sleeper look, I definitely want to hide it behind the grille and keep it looking "stockish"... so off comes the front grille assy, again, and then I placed the IC in the location I wanted...so the hood latch assy. was the determining factor on how high I could mount the IC (I don't want to do hood pins), so I had to modify the latch assy..first thing I did was remove the center grille bracket (drilled out a couple of rivets), then I cut the 'pull' to open the hood off, shortened it, did a slight rebending, and welded it to the latch assy. effectively just moving my hood pull up about 6"...and finally painted it again.

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

here is a couple of pics of the IC. its a 12"x30"x3".. in these pics its just sitting on the front subframe cross bar, so I could verify my modified latch assy, would clear it...

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

ok, got the intercooler mounted, the front cross member of the subframe was in the perfect spot for mounting the IC. so I drilled a couple of 1" holes from the bottom, then mounted some studs in the IC, and bolted it down.
once it was bolted down, I trimmed my lower filler panel to fit around the IC, I'm sure it'll get trimmed on more, once I run the cold side piping, but here is how it is now. then finally, I had to remove the lower 1" aluminum lip of the grille to give me clearance from the IC.

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

Nice work! I'm sure it'll be getting real filled up in there once you get the piping built!

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

so with that center piece removed from the grille assy., it tied my hood latch assy., grille, and lower filler piece together, and since I no longer have that, I needed to add rigidity back to all them again, and tie my IC into the mix too. so my simple solution was to make a cross bar on the IC, and have a stand off connecting to my hood latch assy. (my hood latch assy. also attaches to the grille, so it stiffens everything up more so then the factory center bracket that I had to do away with)

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

also got the headers, turbos, and downpipes installed. before I installed the down pipes, I had to transfer over my O2 sensors and install my wideband..

Nicely packaged! Looks really good. Curious, do you do this fab work as a day job too? You are really talented on this.

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

for the oil feed, I tapped off the rear, top, of block (same location as stock oil sending unit).... I bent up some 1/4" stainless steel hardline, then ' T ' it off, to feed both turbos...for the drain, I used -10 AN fittings and braided SS hose. I drilled and tapped the oil pan to accept the fittings..

Re: my twin turbo sleeper nova

while I had the intake manifold off, routing my oil feed line under it. I changed out my stock 85mm TB to a 102mm TB (see pic below for comparison, the 102is a big'un) . to do this required some porting of the intake manifold, but once I had manifold ported, it worked out nicely.....then I painted the TB,and re-assembled everything...
