Progress pics of my Turbo Vert

Slowly getting there. Here is the r-spec 32 row ic. I had to cut out so much of the ffront bumper to get that thing to fit and it still barely fits. Hoping for that lower subaru front bumper to go on sale. Think I might throw that on ther with a reverse cowl hood and rolling/flare out the fenders to run 285-295's out back and 255's up front.

GReddy TD07-25G. I ordered it during the first week of November. Showed up last week finally. They originally told me 6-8 weeks. I though the stinking boat sunk or something....

Thanks guys. The housings and front cover are powder coated. The rest is all polished and not clear coated. Looks like I'll be busy with the Mothers polish. I may break it down and have everything clear powder coated in the future.

BTW, thanks for the info on the fan. Lots of work to get that pig to fit. I still need to wire everything, (I am retarded whe it comes to wiring) including the fan which came with no wiring diagram. The guys at Vintage Air should answer my questions though...or you could

this is what I wanna do with my turbo vert, but maybe a different turbo like a HKS T51, Is that a 13B-REW engine or just the throttle assembly?

God i hope you don't have an oil leek, it'd suck (and i'd laugh alot) if you blew oil all over that nice shiny engine.

Awesome though, simply awesome!

The motor is a Frankenstein build. I sent up an 89 TII core to Pineapple and all they could use out of it was the e-shaft, front cover and oil pan. The rest was all junk. Since I had just plopped down a sizeable wad of dough on my 20b, he built me this with "parts that were laying around." Series 4 rotors. Series 5 plates, front cover, e-shaft and lim. Series 6 rotor housings, uim and tb.

I'll be up at most of the NASA events with it come MAY or June after all the tuning is done. Hope to see you at some of them in your widebody soon. Maybe we can switch cars for a session or two . I know what it's like running turn 10 at 115 at Sears Point and the associated 1:44 lap times .

You can see the adapter for the two manifolds in one of the pics.
