copied from my post in the Forced Induction section


What started out as a planned "simple" t28 GT2871 setup with 350whp in mind turned into a custom setup based on a GT30 with about 400-450whp in mind. The result of many conversations with Tony from T1 Race Development.... thanks Tony (I think )!

Anyway, here's the car as it sat last year...





And how it sits now...



And here's some of the goods that came from T1...













Flange and some expensive *** clamps...



Walbro 255 and Omni 4 bar map sensor...



Tial 44mm gate with 10psi spring...





Bosch / T1 / Injector Dynamics 1000cc's (didn't end up using the adapters)



Here's a jig I made to make a collector...

 

Some tubing for the mani...



After some frustration and wasting some expensive tubing my friend Fathouse recommended using PVC to practice. $.50/ft vs. $16/ft.... Thanks house!



20 degree cut on the left, 15 degree on the right...



15 degree, what I ended up using...



2nd times a charm...



Ghetto backpurge...













This part was a pain!



Done!

 

Well after some frustration and serious doubt I finally got the first runner done. I think my collector is a little long but looks like I'm going to be able to make it work.



















The rest of the runners should go smoothly but I suspect 'pain in the asses' part 1 and 2 will be wastegate placement and the downpipe build. Stay tuned...

 

Nice build! Keep us up to date bro.

 

looks real good robby... you gonna be at IA this year?

 

Thanks guys!



You know it!

 

damn dude thought you were sellin the ride.

 

this should turn out nice!

Thanks guys!



No one would buy it so what else to do besides dump a bunch of money into it! lol

Wow, nice work bro! Keep me post it!

Subscribed. I need to learn how to weld.

 

first off I love the licence plate, that's awesome!

second, great work so far, the fab work you've done looks great! definitely keep us posted!

 

ncie color! sweet car man

 

nice work wish i could weld....

 

Interested to see how the downpipe setup is going to look. Seems kinda crammed. Very nice though. Good to see people making their own parts.

 

Got the #2 runner fitted up tonight. Pulled the #3 runner off to weld it up. Added some braces since I couldn't really jig it with the Vband. Also got the elbow off of the collector for the #1 runner, going to put one on the collector for the #4 runner as well before I put the #3 back on. Going to build the remainder once I get the 2 centers done, it's hard enough just keeping those 2 lined up lol!

 

nice work man.

 

word lookin good. can't wait to see the finished mani/dp setup. lookin sick so far

 

keep it up.

Did you just start tig welding?

 

Thanks guys!


Not really but I know it looks like it lol!



Got a little farther yesterday, almost finished up welding up the two center runners until the threads in my torch head galled up and stripped out. Got to get a tap monday



Bolted to a 5/8" piece of aluminum for a heat sink...





Every once in a while I get a good one



Inlinepro 600hp i/c courtesy of my friend Carey (bosstedh22a). Yes I know it's upside down, fits higher that way and I'm not going to notch the frame rails for it!

 

you dont have the Inline Pro IC if you have to fit it upside downt the IP one fits up in between there. you must have just the regular Precision 600

 

wow, insane job bro
