Talked to the fabricator today...manifold is fabricated.

The holset was too big to fit behind the motor so its being side mounted in teh space where our passenger side motor mount is. Also since were placing it there had to convert it to external wastegate. It should be here tomorrow then ill take it up to the shop and grab some pics of the progress so far.

Just thought'd i'd throw up the good news

Dan

 

Good **** man... def post some pics up.... couldn't drop it down lower behind the motor? I was gonna try that route

 

It was hitting the axles when we did that...but rememebr my compressor housing is HUGE

 

Check out my gallery. I had a turbo on my engine for about 2 weeks, but couldn't get the "canned" turbo solstice tune to work quite right and had to remove it!

 

Damn it i woulda tried tuning it if u were on teh east coast

 

I know! I was soo pissed! All of the tuners were on the east coast!
It was awsome, worked great except the engine flooded with fuel under WOT and choked!
If I kept it around 1/2 throttle it was as fast as it was stock!

 

Great to hear it Dan! If you're over at Jeff's tomorrow night, let us know. No clue what's going on but maybe we'll stop out.

hell yea man!! Im thinking about going turbo but i cant make up my mind lol

 

I think you are missing something, like say Vancouver, BC. Get a hold of G5 Mike, he has a shopped all lined up to tune his 2.4.

 

just figured I'd throw this teaser up

 

sweet dude. cant wait to see it on the car.

 

I was over at Dan's today, to get some of the tuning started

Here is a funny thing to see... Full 3" exhaust, with the stock tip! I forgot to get a pic of that.

you wanna tell me how thats connected to the intake manifold holmes

 

that is huge!

 

Through the gutted SC

 

i dont see how that connects to anything?

 

Yes, yes it is, and LOUD. that thing is REALLY load when is spools

 

all I gotta say is DAMN.....

 

I'll second that DAMN!

 

Charge piping is run from the turbo through the front bumper cover then up to the gutted supercharger. The fabricator left it easy to drop an air-air in if need be.

Its a fun car to drive and tune.

 

Weeee!

Witt, I left you a message **** face lol I even did the Arnold voice lol

Also, was the oil issue fixed?

 

My phone is being retarded. Sorry.

No idea about anything new on the car since it left Pittsburgh though.

 

thats going to be badass, but im sorry that is going to be a ugly ass set up......how much whp are you expecting out of that GIAGANTIC turbo

 

Its mostly finished, the car runs and pulls great, just needs fine tuned (PE and spark mainly). It also had an Exedy clutch put in it as well, which is nice btw.

Part 2 of his project involves pistons and cams.

More info posted on the redline forums obviously. Heres a link to the pics I took when we were building it.
