Hmm, provocative.
What about the bread? Not toasted? Any condiments?

Looks like a good sandwich. Ham & cheese, side of clutch.

Making me hungry. I can't count the times I've eaten a grease covered sandwich working on a car. Extra flavor. Lol

nah not too worried about it, will be using EWP which should help maintain even flow

-_-

I have to get my fd back from my cousins place yet. Unfortunately, I have a bug to get other cars and clutter up my garage.

My t2 rotors are down at Carlos Lopez right now getting lightened, scalloped, balanced, and clearanced so I have like 2 more months of waiting just to build the engine.

But when I sell my 8 stuff and get this xt's engine rebuilt (well what I'm picking up this week) I'll get back to the 3-rotor.

Issue with me is not just the too many projects bug, but it's no job bug Hahahaha

Looking good. Very excited to hear it start up. What are your plans for connecting the turbo to your intercooler or have I missed that in the posts? I only ask because it seems to me the turbo inlet needs to be clocked the other way.

Great work!

Thank you David!

The intercooler is contained inside the plenum as a water-to-air integrated core. The charge piping runs directly from the turbo to the throttle body. When the oil lines, ignition wiring and few other components are finished, a pic will be posted of everything fully assembled, before startup

You gonna fab up a composite cap for the turbo protrusion? I can't imagine it would be good for the compressor to get wet. OTOH, a little scoop to force cold air on it might help to prevent heat soak... Is the hood fully closed in these pics?

Car won't be driven in the rain so not to worried about compressor getting wet. A plastic bag would probably do fine for transport

Yes, hood is completely closed. After jumping through the decision of cutting into this hood, we decided to cut it further downward, so that the actual blades can be seen. This should really help with getting cooler air in and personally think it looks haunting. Pics will be posted later when its finished.
