I picked up the car from the fabricator and decided I would snap a few pics before I remove the powertrain assembly to replace the clutch..

It looks REALLY nice but I don't like that 90 degree turn right after the turbine outlet.

 

That car's going to be a blast! Is that the Celica GTS engine? Make a video when your done. I'd love to see that thing on the road. By the way, the title says part 2. Where is part 1?

 

exhaust is bitchin

 

great work

 

whoa that is nice work. you're right it does look factory.

 

WOWWwWW

 

Very nice!

 

fab work is nice

 

I dont like the idea of using allen bolts on the turbine housing... too easy too strip... well they look like 3/16 allen bolt and those are easy to strip.

 

Funky pseudo-donut-gasket setup on the turbine.

 

ummmmm, i dont even know what to say, where the hell did this thing come from, thats pretty sick. Thats one helluva track car you got there. How bout some pics of the car....Not to mention you incredible job on the install.

just saw your other thread.....

i thought that is amusing...as it is that fast stock.

wow your gonna make a magazine for sure, a few of them. I know I would buy one if there was a turbo elise on the cover.

 

looks good, how much did this cost you?

 

wow.

who did the fab work?

 

time for an lsd

 

looks really good and a tight fit

 

clean work!

 

dont care how it looks cause this is my idea of the ultimate strip-killer! if i win the lotery im going to buy a elise! and swap in a dart b20 with a nasty turbo! i have seen a elise with a stock k20a2 race against a 320whp empty civic. 1/8 mile without doing its best and he was more than a second faster! i dont think ther is much that can beat a modified elise!

 

nice work casey, lemme know the final results. that thing would be a blast to drive.

 

Looks killer Casey. That car is really going to move.

 

holy **** thats beautiful work!

I don't understand the spring deal on the compressor...? whats that for and why is the dp or I should say exit pipe not welded to the flange?

looks as if you can just stick the muffler strait out of the compressor and be done if you didn't need the cat... nice layout!

 

wow thats crazy

The springs and donut joint are there to allow articulation of the exhaust system(@10 degrees) during engine torque.
I just finished replacing the cluch today and the car shall be on the dyno tomorrow.

 

Looks really nice! clean as hell. Not really digging the 90 degree bend on the oil return line though, you want that to flow as free as possible. Still looks sick tho.

 

Here are some preliminary numbers

The red lines are stock baseline numbers and the blue is the ForcedFed turbo kit at 6psi. This is a conservative tune on 91 octane and with a catalytic converter. Afr pre cat was 11.5 according to my motec wide band......so any way I thought I'd just post our progress.
