Well some of you may remember that I ran my car n/a last year and I did have my fun with it. I started tearing it apart in december and I slowly started picking away at it. I'm getting close to projects end now. Heres some pictures


Tearing it apart from every angle

Decided to chip out the sound deadening up front

Intercooler mock up and mount





Test fitting the new turbo off the car






I'll be running 4" to dual 3"

Getting most of the interior finalized



Coil pack setup


Starting to get into the wiring



Starting to look more like a car

 

turbo specs?

 

Are you using the stock NA hood ? Did you have to cut it ? What kind of engine mounts did you use ? Did you have to make custom oil pan or new sub-frame or move the steering rack ?

Looks great. Similar to my car (color and wheels) except for the 20B. I only have the smaller version of the cosmo engine.

 

wastegate screamer shooting out the top of your hood? hehe

 

Which EFI system are you planning to use?

 

COMPRESSOR HOUSING A/R .66 T4

Turbine Wheel: ( GT45 SPEC )

Exducer: 3.05"
Mayor : 3.46"

Compressor Wheel
Exducer: 2.56"
Mayor : 3.90"

Turbine Housing:

1.05

 

Yes and Yes


I fabed my own


No, no, and no....well i did have to modify the rack a bit

Thanks! I love the bronze on white look.

 

It will be atmosphere dump...which probably wont be much better. haha

 

I'm currently playing around with the VEMS ECU. Hopefully i wont have to many issues getting it up and running with it.

 

It looks nice...

 

A little update

Getting the wastegate mocked up



Getting the downpipe tack welded








-10 to dual -8's. I know its a little extreme for my current goals, but it will give me a lot of room to grow.





New fittings waiting to be welded onto the fuel rail

 

Who built your manifold? I need one for the FC!

 

are you gonna keep the gate open? or put it back into the exhaust? if you put it into the exhaust, i hate you. looks good so far though, the manifold is very sexy.

 

no, it will be atmosphere dump

 

loving this project gaining loads of information
keep it coming

 

YES!!!!!!!!! open gate is the way to go. subtle when it needs to be, and obnoxious when you want it to be.

 

looking pretty damn good.

 

how much did the engine set you back?

 

Just got the exhaust finished on it. 4" split into dual 3"

 

Looks great, congrats!

 

It looks great, keep us posted.

 

dude your project is like deja-vu to me.
same wastegate, same style exhaust, same radiator, same coil setup, same intercooler, same fuel rails, etc etc.

that said, looks pretty sweet man! when do you expect to have it up and running? specs on the turbo?

 

Haha, i had no idea our projects were that much alike. Great minds think alike. I expect to have it in one solid mechanical peice here in about 2 weeks. Then its up to wiring. I WILL have this done for Sevenstock X.

 

Brendan, that's looking quite pretty! Can't wait to take a ride in the finished product around christmas! I BETTER anyway. lol

 

looks like a little custom work on the swaybar??? how is it working out for you?
