exactly, that's all I kept thinking. "What if this was a real donut, I'd need a barrel of milk to go with it"

Don't post the pics on stlsr, don't want those retards to know what's going on.

Oh yeah, I'll toss together a little cold air intake for it. I need to get as much cool air into the turbo as possible so I'm not running a intercooler.

Yeah, need to figure out what to do for a radiator. Probably just get a generic one. Anyone know how small of one I can run ? Remember, it's a streetcar

Define streetcar

You have an idea on how to mount that air filter, will it be behind the left headlight?
I think you have said it somewhere on the forum, but what was the specs on that s400?

Alot more of a streetcar than my last FD

Full interior, actually I'm trying to find a 2006 Mazda 3 interior/Dash to put in it. I need something nice and comfy. It needs to be quiet, ride nice, no fiberglass to worry about cracking, nice little stereo, cheap fuel, reclining seats, power windows and locks...........

and a beer holder and gun rack would make it perfect

I'll route the intake somewhere up front, not sure where. I'll decide once I get a rad in there.

Turbo is 75mm comp, 1.32 A/R, T6 Flange

Nice job....

Stainless is hard to weld with a mig welder, I did this once with mild steel , I used something like 3/16 wall tubing, it was heavy as ****

Things are moving along slowly, I only have saturday and part of sundays to play with the car.

Got my downpipe made but ran out of gas AGAIN. I need to get a bigger tank or something.

Also got my injectors in and bolted down.

Yeah, I was kidding about not using a wastegate. I'll end up tossing a wastegate and adjustable valve on there.

Thanks.

Yep, 5 inch OD Downpipe but reduces under the car to 2.75 OD

Hoping for 320 to the tire.

I'm going to ceramic coat it myself.

Damn you are one serious clown, is that a vid of you in your avatar....

lmfao....


on a more serious note that dp turned out A LOT better than I thought it would, I talked over this same setup with an employee a while ago and we couldn't quite figure out how it would turn out. Looks good...

You see that bend right off the turbine housing, thats terrible, easy way to get around that is go " big " on the DP..( big to you guys who think 3" flows well...)

I'm planning on using the techline brand coating. I've heard very good reviews on it and it doesn't require an oven to cook and you can apply it with a detailing gun. I know that I won't be able to coat the inside but I'm not too worried about that.
