GT 30R Project: My Trip to the Darkside (An Update)
In my quest for a custom turbo kit, Attitude Racing and S2F Fabrications have created this setup:

Notice the Factory Appearance of the Cutout to Make Room for Wastegate

Thats a pretty crazy looking setup. I have a couple questions though. How are you going to run the piping to the intake manifold and what about the upper radiator hose?

A/N fittings and braided SS hose on the coolant hoses and A/C lines (yes it still has A/C!)
the backside of the IC has holes on the passenger side top and bottom (in and out on the same side)
the front of car was pretty much removed thus the brace you see in the pic that replaces it and gives way more room. This post shows you a little better. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1036626
Heres the link to the previous all motor setup. http://www.attituderacing.com/yousuf.htm

I figured, either hard piping or a/n on the radiator hoses, and the intercooler pipes on the same side, but it still looked like a pretty tight fit though. I guess you have to see it first hand. Well keep up the good work.

I was thinking about getting a sidewinder mani. but then I realized.... That looks like it would be a pain in the *** to get to anything if you need to work on it... But looks HELLA clean

Re: (jsnm)
You had better wrap that manifold, Dp, and A/C line. That manifold setup will generate some CRAZY heat. I wraped my manifold and DP you would not believe the difference in underhood temps.
NICE setup...
NICE setup...
Re: (1meangsr)
Very nice setup indeed.
I have one question though. The Turbine side of your GT30R looks to be of a .48A/R configuration, no? What is the hp rating that you're trying to go with? I understand exactly about that turbo, but that A/R is going to generate a bit more heat and less flow than a .63a/r or a .82A/R.
That looks like a Precision Gt30R BB. Rod, please feel free to step in on this one.

Yes... you better wrap all that stuff with heat wrap or the radiator will get heat soaked..Mine was and i dont have half the pipes passing near the rad than you have....Once i heat wrapped the pipes no more overheating.
Veri nice and clean setup.. Im curious as to how you will do the charge pipes.

Re: GT 30R Project: My Trip to the Darkside (Blackack26)
non of the currrent A/C lines or hoses will be used, we're gonna reroute them and use braided hoses and A/N fittings. Same for the coolant hoses.
The header will be coated inside and out to help with the radiant heat issue, you should never wrap any type of exhaust parts, it will cut their life span into pieces!
The inconel hardware (springs, nuts and bolts) are there to hold the slip fit design of the manny together. This design should eliminate any cracking due to stress. The turbo has a bracket on the bottom of it that attatches to the tranny so it completely supports the weight which will further aid in the prevention of stress cracks.
wait till you see the aluminum piping with the wiggins clamps!
the turbo is most likely just an experiment, and will probably be replaced with a GT35-40 or GT40 later on. He wants a very quick spooling turbo for now and only plans on making around 400whp since thats about all any street car can really put down anyway.
