Almost back on the road. Another few weeks and it should be finished.
The motor is a 12a with 13b T2 inlet and throttle body. Front mount cooler, microtech etc, etc...

 

Yes, yes, more, more!!!!

Beautiful setup man, can't wait to see some more pics and here some specifics Is it a TII turbo? How bout a shot of the FMIC?

Go Microtech!!!!

 

i think im in love

how bigs that turbo?!!

and more pics!!

edit: where in australia are u from??

 

Geeeez...... that's a monster! Yes, more pics!

 

That turbo is so big you can't fit a filter on it.

 

Here are some more pics. Trying to go for the sleeper look.











There will be a filter on the turbo but I have to relocate the battery and move the radiator over 2 inches.

djmickyg I am from melbourne.

 

Daniel I think they wanna know when it will be on a ausrotor cruise!!

PS email me wil some updated specs ect for your car on my site...

 

What are the two openings on the hood for?

 

hey 12at i could have sworn i saw ur car on doncaster and blackburn rd today? u driving anywere there there?? or mayby it was another white rx

 

I like that a lot!

Are the two little black things on the front bumper washer nozzles for the headlights? I can't think of anything else they could be

 

yep, they are

 

12at, is that a semi turbo? I friend has one that looks just like it and it came off of a semi from a semi junkyard.

Looks like normal ventilation to me. You can buy pretty much any type of vents on the market and put them on anything, in this case are car hood.

Yeah, that's what they are. I beleive they weren't an option in the US.

12at, that's a sweet engine with one massive turbo hanging off the side of it. What is it, a T66?

I was just wondering what is the alternator off that you are running??? Keep use posted on the progress.

 

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I got the intercooler back tonight from being modified so not long to go now...At a guess I would say 3 more weeks until it hits the road.

Adam,
I'll send you the updated specs later tonight. Are you gonna add the vert too?

Paul,
The openings are bonnet vents from a subaru wrx. They help to get all the hot air out of the engine bay.

djmickyg, nope it wasn't me. The car is still on axle stands unfortunately.

Error,
Yep it is a modified truck turbo. It is called a TA45.

rxdoom,
It is the standard 12at alternator, I think it is 55 amp so it is nothing special.

 

DAMN THAT IS ONE BIG ASSED TURBO! looks real good

 

Whats the plan for the oulet of the turbo to the IC? Looks like youre gonna have to get creative if you dont rotate the compressor side...

cool and **** yeah!! just need to take some decent pics,, BTW i sent you a email too.

 

very nice!!!! should run good!!! 12a turbo 4ever.....720 now......

 

I am using a V band clamp on the compressor outlet/intercooler plumbing. I already have it attached with a 3 inch bend off it and it all fits under the bonnet. I'll take some more pics soon and keep you all updated.

 

Here are some more pics... Big thanks to Adsy





Old turbo vs new one




Home made exhaust manifold

 

really nice setup... makes me want to have a go on my car... I have some FC parts and a brand new TII turbo, so maybe, if I mix and match with the 12A that's in there now... Hell, now you made me planning things I can't afford ;-)
Really cool car, anybody who has some sites on 12A cars with turbo setups? No TII/13 swaps, just plain 12A's with turbo...

 

Snazzy man. I wish I had a turbo setup...Someday I will, mark my words people .
