turbo placement was the main guide of the design.

pics taken from my post in welding/fab. forum.

lucidvtec

that's different....looks like it will spool damn quick

redzcstandardhatch

hopefully.....we'll see. it is a smaller turbo.

the rad/intercooler support is also different. with the turbo all bolted up, it aims right into the intercooler... my actually turbo has been modded also, to eliminate the ford SVO bolt on flanges. i have regular pipe welded to the inlet and outlet.

Sweet stuff man, hope you dont get any creep issues.

redzcstandardhatch

yeah, i'm weighing changing the gate to a 38mm TIAL...

it didnt creep much with the DRAG manifold (i had it modified to take exhaust from more than one runner-small tube welded from collector area to the wastegate elbow)

it spiked slightly upon WOT, but its running alot of boost (built bottom end, 20 psi)

that alone helps keep it from creeping. we'll see...hopefully it works.

looks awesome man.

looks like our manifold @ Turboelements we made over 300hp+ on my stock 1.6l block, you'll love it

i recomend utilizing an upper rad hose with a radiator cap built in, if you plan on running that radiator that low and not having airbubbles in your coolant system.

Is your oil filter relocated?

it would make things easier too.....

it is, but i am changeing the lines...and probably eliminating the relocation...just using a sandwich adaptor..not positive yet though.

i don't think you should have to do that with the upper hose....it has a bleeder on the outlet from the head. You'll just have to crack that open and bleed it that way. BUT i could be wrong shed some light on my idea if its wrong.

redzcstandardhatch

yeah, but then you couldnt add enough fluid...it has to be at the highest point, i would think.. not sure if i'm wrapping my head around it properly, but i think i am

Actually for the radiator you need to run a swirlpot/bleeder and header tank.

This swirlpot is the installed on an NSX.


VW Vento swirlpot


I finally found a pic so I can explain this crap.
Swirlpot goes in the upper line.
Bleeder from the swirlpot goes into the header tank.
Non-pressure relief cap is used on the radiator
Pressure relief cap is used on the header tank
Overflow from the radiator connects to the header tank
Overflow from the header tank leads back to the stock overflow

VR-4 header tank and swirlpot


My RX-7 friends made these systems for $40~$60. The most expensive part was the billet water neck for the header cap. Aftermarket swirlpot setups are $300~$600

holy lot of information...

thanks man.

what exactly is the function of the swirlpot ? merely a place to put the overflow?

i can totally make one of those........but do i really need one? ! thanks

Is that a Tbird turbo?
I thought it lost efficency at anything past 17 psi....

AbitAvenger

looks pretty nice... how much has it cost you in materials?

redzcstandardhatch

yeah, its a mustang SVO intake houseing....it probably looses efficiency around 17 or

i'm going to upgrade it one of these days.. probably a GT series t3 houseing (idealy) or a holset hy35w (more than likely)

the turbo pictured isnt the turbo i'm using though. same size intake houseing though. its just a junker i pieced together to mock up the kit.

i built the manifold for about 150 in materials...plus welding stuff (30 ish)...and about 12 or so hours of my time.. maybe 2 hours of my brothers time to weld it (when done)

i am 100% not building manifolds for a living.........-not easy

Looks like a Spoolin Perf. manifold

Damn Adam, thats looking pretty sick. Can't wait to see that this summer.

The swirlpot helps to remove air from cooling systems that have radiators that are lower than the inlet for the engine. Water from the radiator enters the lower inlet of the swirlpot and exits from the top. The swirling motion from the flow forces air out of the small outlet at the top of the swirlpot. I left this out but water from the header tank is recirculated back in the cooling system (heater line or bottom radiator line) via a small line on the bottom of the header tank.

sick manifold looks like u know whats up

redzcstandardhatch

that makes a lot of sense dee...thanks for your input.. i'm going to have to get started on one of those then.
