    Just don't let SS tackle that river up at Big Canoe in that...



    If you have any old parts off that thing let me know. I'm looking for stock injectors and a radiator...

    It should be available for youre viewing pleasure at the dyno day. I think Brandon still has it on a lift.

    One question. How is the oil return taken care of? Most turbo's dont' have enough oil pressure out the turbo so they rely on gravity to feed the oil out and not pool.

    Brandon is going to build a sump for the turbo and it uses a tilton differential pump to suck the oil out of the sump.

    Ah. Sounds like a like of fabricating and cool designing.

    you guys gonna run a reverse manifold to shorten IC piping even more?
     
  23. slowwrx

    slowwrx Supporting Member

    The original plan was to run it reverse but in reality its only saving about 8 inchs of pipe and I don't think its going to be worth the hassle.

    but a V-mount set up would be so pimp :cool:

    Really? Oh that must be because of the location of the turbo. I know the stock location turbos shorten the crap outta the piping when you reverse the manifold.

    Is that car going to be a daily driver? Is the owner worried about rainy days...I know that a turbo is not an intake, but wouldn't a serious volume of water getting sucked into the turbine, lets say driving through a big puddle, put some heavy stress on it?

    I am sure that whoever is building this car (is that dan wrenching on it?) has already considered that issue, I am just curious.

    If it makes less than 650hp on turbo Ill be pissed, and we have a big kit for it and I'm not afraid of the bottle like everyone else
