getting closer to finishing this up, and i got my digid cam back from cannon, so i thought id post some pics up.

let me know what u guys think, search under my name for the car this will be going into, i have pics, and the last turbo project install.

just and over view of the turbo head, and parts


the black lines are where im going to cut the dp and try and weld it back together but pointing twards the stock exhaust location, instead of aiming away, might be able to keep a/c this way.



Big Problem!!!!!!! manifold cannot be bolted to the turbo because the oil line is in the way, asking flamco-T if he might have a 45 or 90 degre elbow that might fix this problem!!!!

hoping for 12-18psi daily on this turbo and setup, maybe 20+ at the track on race gas and a custom nitrous intercooler spray kit im making, would kick on at 11psi and up, to save nitrous and cool the intercooler when detonation would be critical.

 

how do you plan to keep this power to the ground?

LSD?

 

JIM FAB tracktion bars, Ground control coilovers 350lb fronts, 400lbs rears, tokico illumina shocks, Possibly LSD if i can find one at a good price, im also looking for a way to convert to eaqual length axles. hydro Dseries intermidiate shafts sell on ebay sometimes, but they have gone to high for me latly. also the 9"wide street tires will help.

 

them wide *** tires is how he will get the power to the ground

 

bump nice project buddy

 

im considering using this to wrap my oil lines, waterlines, and any wires near the tubro and manifold. anyone have experiance with this stuff, i need something to protect my oil inlet line.



Cool protection for wires and lines.

An excellent way to protect wires, fuel lines, brakes lines, battery cables, EGR tubes, and more. The special weave of the sleeving allows it to expand over plugs and fittings when installing. Fasten using Thermal-Tie® or hose clamp. Material is noncombustible and resists water, fungus, and petroleum products.

- Withstands 1200° F continuous
- Rolls are 25 feet in length
- Adjustable inside diameter from ¼" to 7/16"
- Enhances style and improves heat protection
- Excellent for street rods and custom cars

im also considering buying a 6"x14" heat sheild blanket, to strap around my compressor housing to keep that alittle cooler, and reduce any lag, its only like 30 bucks any experiances?

 

we put the heat blanket on a customers evo. works great. really reduced the underhood temps alot.

i think we have used that heat wrap stuff from mmrusa, but i cant get the website to come up and i dont know the name of hte stuf we have used.

do u have any pics of the install. i was considering putting the "blanket" over the compressor housing to keep the heat from the manifold, and some heat from the hot side off the compressor. did u put the blanket over the hot side? did u wrap the downpipe with heat wrap aswell??

this is what i was considering.

 

DUDE that is one nice setup. I love it.

Best of Luck to ya! Looks clean too!

I've seen 90's too, they're not uncommon.

 

we put the blanket under the stock heat sheld on the manifold. the stuff works wonders for the underhood heat. not sure if it effected spool or not. with the tinyness of the evo turbo i doubt it did.

 

i need an intake manifold yet. any sejestions? i don't have the 300 for a skunk2 so don't tell me to buy it, im considering an Ebay OBX has anyone used one before? i need to know if theyt actually allow u to make more power than stock. im also looking for a d16y8 if the obx doesn't work out, but thy look desent on ebay, and for 150 bucks i figured i couldn't go wronge!!

anyone use one before?

 

ugh, i had an obx manifold on my car for about 1 month and sold it afterwards... it was a piece of crap. I actually lost hp and torque on the dyno after i had it on.

do a search, there are horror stories about those things and how crappy they are... save the cash and get an edelbrock.
