Vehicle has a mock up block in it for now but will be running a

precision 106mm G-trim Wheel
Tial V60 Wastgate
LME built LSX block - 454-
Custom Sheet metal Intake Manifold

and of course- SPoolinPerformance tubulars + Cross over pipes. Enjoy !

 

nice phil. that turbo looks nice and heavy!

what is the notch in the flange for on the p/s header between #3 and #4? is it to access a plug or something?

 

Looking forward to doing something similar turbo setup wise. Fun to know the images in my head were not toooo far off :p.

Not going to be as insane as this... but now I'm a bit more ready for it?

 

I honestly have no idea what the plug notch is for, they're oem GM flanges

 

Everything looks good, but damn i can't get over those collectors. I understand people won't pay for the expensive merge collectors, but on a set up like this?

 

space is of a major concern, most merge collectors splay out some and take up good amount of space. Normally, i actually have weld in bullet pyramids but someone in the shop lost them =T


This is just a mock up block- the real block has 2" spacer aluminum valve covers and ETP heads which are a thicker deck height- which in turn will place everything further out a tad and also kill more space. need this to be as compact as possible. as you can see its 15 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag

 

i used to think the same thing. but if you really think about it, what do the baller collectors really do on a boosted setup? and really how diff are they from the stamped stuff. the 4 pipes all merge the same but the only diff is the more expensive ones have a point in the center.

 

the weld points are actually decent but of course doesn't = that of a actual merge.

 

looks like that will support some good power. What are the goals? How can it fit with taller deck than you buit it for though? The crossover will be too short if the exhasut flanges move away from the crank.

 

Dang, thats sick Phil

 

RIP FD... no longer has a soul..

 

yeah im gonna be redoing the crossovers later, right now i just made it to send out to my Mfg to mass produce these headers for the V8rx7 forum guys

 

now it wont need a rebuild every month.

fanboi purists

 

Ah, that's cool there is a big demand for that. Good luck with it.

 

Satan called.
Wants to know when he can have his car back....

Awesome build!

 

 

WOW!!! that **** is top notch right there. That mani is intense. Robotic welded or hand? What kind of intercooling will there be on the motor? Looks like its going for a straight shot into the intake?

 

hand welded hand fabricated by Jon marcellas

its going to be air to air for the fmic, its still a " street car"

 

Wow, I want a ride in it.

 

hahhahh i dont !! I want to drive it

 

this project is sick...in for this.

 

Where are you putting the radiator?

 

in front of the turbo, butted up close to the fmic and behind the bumper

 

What bumper are you running? The turbo LS1 FD I built has space issues and it's only running a 67mm
