So I finally got the .83 T4 divided housing for the S258 last week like I had wanted. I now have a 1.15 housing also if I decide to sacrifice some midrange power for top end haul. Here are the pics of her and the nest it will settle into in the engine bay :-)

 

wow, that is going to be very nice. good luck I hope it goes well

 

looking good...what manifold are you planning to go with? ona sidenote do you have a dyno at your shop? im going to install my kit down here and get a base tune installed...then if good with you i might drive up and pay you to tweak the tune

 

I assume your using the Hahn intake mani? Looks like it should be a decent build. Is the motor built at least?

 

Go finish that car!

 

good luck!!!

 

Sorry mom *slinks off to room*

 

Thats more like it!



oh BTW, nice work streetdreamz. are you putting the turbo in that spot and making a sidemount mani?

 

YOUR SO MEAN TO ME!!! I HATE YOU!!!!

 

You cant hate your mom.. i mean you can but its not right lol.just dislike her a lil!

 

Go to your garage and finish that car young man!

 

Looks real good. What are your expectations horsepower wise?

 

Yes, that's where the turbo is going.

I am making both the turbo and the intake manifolds myself.

500whp is the goal.

 

Nice!!!! Gool luck with the build.

Is it just me or does the compressor housing look tiny compared with the exhaust housing, Like a deisle truck turbo or something.

 

I really like the position of the turbo!

 

Good luck!

 

Thanks. And it's a twin scroll housing so there is a divider inside the housing that takes up some room, therefore the overall housing has to be larger.

Thanks, it's the only place I could fit that relatively large turbo easily while using a twin scroll turbo. Plus it's going to look so sexy up front and will be the first thing you see when you pop the hood.

Thank you very much!!!

 

Looking good, and I was wondering how long it was going to take someone to mount the turbo somewhere else.

 

EXACTLY! Reminds me a bit of some Supra and Nissan setups...

 

Reminds me of the RSX turbo kits out, good luck with the build

 

Why not do what reldline dan did, and mount it in the passengerside of the engine bay?

theres plenty of room there

 

Actually, there's not. Did you see the tiny turbo and half assed manifold he was using?

I give him props, but there's a saying around here: Do it once, do it right.

 

lol.... tiny turbo? It's a Holset off of a truck. And that manifold is not half assed. I've seen the work in person and it's bad ass.

 

Didn't he pair the wrong cylinders?

Yeah, half assed imo.

 

I think you've got him confused with someone else. He's got an absolutely HUGE turbo and all of the work done on it has been top notch.
