Oh I see, what a terrible design! The 4 pinion diffs I've worked on all have fully supported cross pins. Sometimes they're just clearanced in the middle to avoid one another, others they're actually 1 solid piece (like a + sign) and you have to separate the carrier halves to remove them.

I decided to go the remote mount route a long time ago, but haven't had a shop or the time to move the project any further. I've got a a 91 plus sitting under a tarp and a turbo and tuning parts collecting dust on a shelf. I would be very interested in at least a set of pipes to get this project jump started again. Very clean looking fab work, done right. I've been away too long........

Bump, this time with pictures.

I get a call about every week from the owner of the white car. When I pick up the phone, I just hear him giggle. This is a mid-50's Gear Head that likes to go fast in all kinds of stuff. He's had Off Shore boats of all different sizes and types, he's had motorcycles of all different sizes and types, and has raced and crashed about anything you can imagine. But he still can't get over this car. He absolutely loves it.

Now then, on to the next build. It's a '91 Plus that my customer bought from Jacksonville. We did all the maintenance to the stock engine, so we'll see how long we can get it to last. We did the tranny with our killer clutch set and a WaveTrac differential. We did our 12" brake inside the factory slicers and the B&G springs around Koni struts. We also installed a set of our Original Subframe Connectors. We did all the suspension bushings and swaybar bushings, so the car is nice and tight. Once we got there, we installed the turbo in the back. We decided not to go with a separate oiling system because it was such a pain in the **** (and expensive too). Instead, we plumbed engine oil all the way back to the turbo, then scavenge it and pump it back to the engine. It makes the install much easier too. The filtration and cooling are mainly for restriction more than anything else, but add a nice touch and will make the turbo live longer.

So, as you can see, the car is plumbed and runs. It's ready for the plumber to make all the tubing. My guy is Michael Angelo with a CnC Mandrel Tubing Bender. The waste gate will be external and controlled with a SPEC Gauge and Controller. the Blow Off is a Turbonetics unit. Everything will be hidden where you can't see it even if you know it's there. On this one, the pipes will be ceramic coated with a black satin finish.

Here's what the trunk looks like without an ass load of pumps and hoses.

Now, the important thing to note is that I'm having more than one set of piped built. Any takers on the next kit?

A fast Green 91 Plus! Gotta love that. :hail:

Yup. The Plumber is done with the car and the pipes are at the plater getting coated. This time, I'm not getting a super chrome finish. This car should be a little less assuming to anyone that looks at it.

We'll be getting the pipes back and installing them next week.

so since im new to the whole turbo thing, and im really liking the idea of the remote mount setup you have going here, what would i need to do with my stock 3.0 car to get it ready for one of your sytems? or do you have a smaller setup for a stock car?

fuel upgrades and tuning. you'd also be better off investing in a quaife. you can run 8-10 PSI on a stock motor but if you want more you're gonna need forged pistons.
