Nice set up. What intercooler and wastegate are you going to use? Also how are the downpipes and exhaust going to be set up?

 

+1, Love the setup. Can't wait to see more pics and hear what numbers you finally put down. Great work!

 

nice setup.... ...i wanna see a vid when the time comes...

 

thats what i was thinkin :P

 

+2. Did you pull the motor back out before sending it to the painter? I want to paint my engine bay but I don't feel like removing all the stuff around the engine, my motor is not in the car.

 

The only right way is to yank it all out. Dont cut yourself short. It is only a few hours more of R/R.

 

Thanks Howard. I have to make myself i nice warm coco, sit down and study that post of yours. Look’s like a lot to take in

The turbo we chose are over kill but they are the smallest t04s antisurge available by Masterpower. Still there is enough turbo flow to out perform a large trim gt45.

I hope we haven’t got greedy on the eye candy to sacrifice the performance.... but they will be quickly swapped for smaller units if that’s the case.

 

we leaving the intercooler size in the hands of some expert race car fabricators, They are doing a sponership deal,

When we made the mainofld we allowed plenty of room for 2.5" dumpipes, i guess they well merge just before the diff into single 3" or 4"

 

For all those guys interest in this build...

The car is project car for an NZ high performance car DVD called "100% Driven"

You can check it out at......

http://www.100percentdriven.com/

The DVD is expected to be released in mid December,
Guys this is a great DVD that I have had the pleasure of having some involvement. I highly recommend you check it out, the guys have gone to Japan with some great drifting footage and some NZ local car scene, not to mention this project build. Check it out.

 

Looks really nice!

 

Heres one I found with a twin turbo set up:

its looking real good.

 

yet another F*cken crazy kiwi... good on yer cuz... love the setup.

 

just curious...if you want max response, why did you go with a full bridge on the motor? and not a half bridge? or are you just relying on the turbos for max response and max power with the ports???? sort of best of both worlds?

 

Ive never tried half bridge.... ive always thought half bridge was 'half arsed'.

When i compare the full bridge to a large stg2 or stock port... The full bridge drives the turbos faster earlier in the rev range. so its definitly better, but i couldnt compare with half bridge sorry, I assume its better than the half bridge for responce.

we are relying on the porting for responce and the turbo compressor flow for hp. but with smaller turbos it should be more responcive, I dont think we will ever run the boost required to max the compressor flow of these turbos, So in that sence there way to big, but f#ck it... they look good!

 

Any updates on this project?

 

only that the car will be finnished in a couple of weeks. It is currently getting intercooler and pipe work fitted at another shop. only thing left is fuel system after that. Ill have some more pics later this week of pipe work.
I havent seen what they have done yet, I hope they are gd at what they do.

 

Keep us posted, I am currently having a twin turbo kit made too. I bought two t3/to4e's from XS-Engineering. Still debating on ECU but I am leaning towards Motec M800. I am trying to figure out if I want to have both downpipes merging into one or having two downpipes going straight through to one exhaust muffler on each side which hasn't been done yet, at least I don't think so.

 

if u have two turbos like that.. do u also need 2 waste gates? (stupid question but i need to know)

 

No, I plan on using one large HKS GT wastegate, possibly a 50mm. At first I was planning on using 2 Tial 46mm wategates but I think 1 HKS GT is enough.

 

Hi guys just to keep you all updated on progress since last photos, The microtech and bosch coils have now been fitted as well as the radiator and plumbing. The set is using v mount style as you can see in the photos, We are expecting to fire it up this comming week.

 

looks great....

can I take out a life insurance policy on the driver?

 

Nice project!

 

excellent setup, comin along very nicely cant wait to see her on the video cause im buyin it

 

haha, thats great cheers
