Major success!! After installing the new manifold, I was able to puzzle in all the ducting. A couple of hiccups along the way because there is so much pressure in the system that two t-bolt clamp connections popped off during test drives. But this last weekend I drove the Delica 5 hours with...

Not yet. I just got the new intercooler ready manifold and so was waiting for that before proceeding. Hopefully will get to this later this week.

Game on! I just ordered this 4 channel datalogger with thermocouples. https://a.co/d/8dAdE3m

Now you are making me want to add thermocouples to the "pre-cooler" and water/air heat exchanger, and hook up a datalogger:) That probably would be better than trying to use an IR camera, in light of what you pointed out... the engine bay being very hot. Good news is, whatever I did is...

Wanted to test it so badly that I just kept working until done. Then drove it to work at 4PM. Everything takes so much longer than anticipated. For the wiring, I installed 2 relays near the batteries. One fuse in line from the positive battery terminal to both relays. 2 switches, one for...

Here are the pictures of the water plumbing side of things. Zip tied and hose clamped the electric water pump to the metal part of the power steering hose. The water reservoir/filler came with no sealant on any of the threads, and one of the barb fittings was super hard to take out, like it...

Today I finished installing the intercooler, and plumbed the water circuit. All that is left now is the electrical. Getting closer! Milled slots into intake manifold adapter to allow it to rotate backwards 5 degrees. (not sure if this is necessary, more gains probably from trimming down the...

More progress today. Getting closer to done! More panel trimming. This is the final amount of cutting to clear interfering parts. Panel ALMOST fits, but the mounting holes are still about 1/4 to 3/8 inch out of alignment. I don't want to cut all the way through the panel, so will attempt...

Thought I would get further on this project today. Thought I was going to do all the water circuit stuff. Ha ha. Spent my morning instead trying to get the driver side cover to fit. First step, rotate interfering clamp and use Zip ties to pull down 45 degree bend reducing hose...

Today I installed all the Turbo intercooler parts (the air side, not the water side). Missed some items including enough T-bolt clamps, but improvised and made it work.

Started my air to water intercooler project today. Laid out parts that I had ordered (messed up when I sketched it out and made my parts list... somehow mistakenly didn't think about the direction of flow from the turbo to intake manifold, doh!). Looks like the parts will fit, but currently the...

The mangled mess I made before I finally tore it off.

Ok, thank you. I will try my dremel on it tonight. Thought maybe there was some other trick.

How do you remove the tamper proof screw covers? I "practiced" on the throttle stop screw and it took me forever to extract the cover, by totally mangling it. Now I want to do the mixture screw cover, which is hard to get to, and am thinking maybe I need to dremel tool it off? Are there any...

so the guy that sold me the compressor said it comes with PAG 100, and I need not add more oil, just refrigerant. I bought some PAG100 oil just in case, and was maybe going to add a little to the new receiver/dryer, but other than that, do you think I am just good to go?

I bought this AC compressor off ebay. I had to make a small extension to the wire because it was not long enough, but other than that, it looks good. Still in the process of flushing, so probably be another week before I will know if it all works. When I bought the van, I did the vacuum and...

Can you please share a picture of what it looks like when you get it? Maybe I can 3d print one.
