ttt for being the best custom turbo site on the web

 

Oh man that downpipe is so ghetto...you think it wouldnt be that much harder to use a mandrel bent pipe on it. Oh well cheers for getting it boosted

 

they said that they replaced the dp with a mandrel bent 3 inch one. Pretty nice for $948 or whatever.

 

Thanks

 

Can the AC be kept with a HF manifold? All I see is the turbo compressor sitting where the AC compressor is?

 

Its really depends on the turbo configuration, Most of the time when people do Junkyard D-series HF/STD manifold setups the compressor sits on the driver side directly where the compressor would. I have tried mounting a 14b backwards and keeping the ac compressor but the downpipe did not have enough room.


Jeff Frank

 

what about a T25, I'm planning on keeping my AC for sure.

 

14b and t-25 are more or less the same exact size in physical characteristics, even with a custom O2 housing I dont see how its possible.... The HF/STD Manifold brings that turbo very close to the block when mounting it compressor side on the right.

Your better off with a custom manifold...

Jeff

 

call me a dick, call me whatever name you want, but 90% of the custom set ups i see look like ****. you can agree, you can disagree, but id rather fork out the extra bucks for quality craftsmanship. and yes, some custom turbo setups get a , to each his own i guess...

 

I could care less about the looks when I do mine on my 90hatch hehe, I'm not gonna try to win any car shows with a 90hatch. Its gonna be my beater/turbo car. Its' not called homemadeturbo for nothin

Abaz: Do you have any pics of it mounted the other direction? I wanna see how close it comes to the compressor.

 

where do you get the "plates" from between the manifold and turbo? all awesome setups on that website!

 

We make all our plates ourselves... Maybe someday we will sell them

Jeff

 

very cool!

Jeff, you should sell them. Gary and I aren't going to sell them anymore. The interest is waning. Everyone likes looking at your website anyway. Dropshop will probably pick up the design though. He has a design for T25's that may allow AC although it is really tight.

For the guy who wanted one, contact GJC on my website. We have a few of the last run left. When we are done, we will direct people to dropshop's website here: http://www.thedropshop.tv/

Later.

Well we have tried designing a few using your method of set screws, however it did not turn out the way I wanted. I did not like how much chanfering on the plate we had to do. I have a friend with a CNC machine that might start selling them through our site.. Maybe.. I aint in it for the money

Jeff

 

He needs a Zdyne and a MPFI swap

 

maybe if someone posts the best way to make one ourselves

 

bahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaaha my kit with front mount intercooler costs about $600 less than the cheapest greddy kit (the one without a BOV and intercooler), and will do just as much, or more than what a greddy kit could ever do. Spend all that extra for a 'quality' kit so it looks better. **** that hahaha

 

theres the kit right there

 

Yipee for you!
