Thanks

 

I'm not usually one to say search, but... use the search button

Im jelous!

 

Don't be... your car is faster lol.

 

I wish!! I need alot more $$ to get my car to be anywhere near as fast as that car. If i can keep up with stock 350 tpi's in a few months Ill be happy!!!!

 

here is what I run

 

^ alcohol, lots of meth, or lots of *****?

NICE!

 

Nice, no In.Cooler??? I love that turbonetrics!!

 

Yeah I run e85. with a healthy dose of meth injection.

 

another shot of the beast.

 

You can get away with alot on corn and meth

 

here is my remote front mount turbo setup so far.......

 

Wow man thats a big BIG turbo. Looks sweet!!! That turbos about the size of my motor

 

Sick!!

 

I'm always down for a little pic whoring. Heres a few shots of mine...not done yet, but almost there.

 

Too bad I managed to bend and crack the frame...

 

thad bites so ur set up for sale lol

 

how did you crack the frame on a unibody car?

 

Large bend and crack just forward of motor mounts. Looked like a previous repair came undone. Car was totaled and rebuilt very early in its life before I got it, lol pre-carfax. Went to do some WOT tuning one night, all seemed normal. Next day car was leaning hard right, found damage. I'm sure it was a slow progressive thing that finally gave because it always tracked dead straight never an alignment problem, surely 12lbs boost only accelerated what was already failing.

And no, setup is not for sale. Its getting swapped into a 91 Vert

 

what size turbo? do you have any other pics you could show of how the turbo sits in the battery tray

 

FSTFBDY Fabbed most of it up. I had to tweak a few things to make the downpipe fit and in the process lost the AC, gonna make a few adjustments and see if I can squeeze AC back in by losing the serpentine setup when I swap into the vert. Turbo is a MP T70, only downfall to to the location is air filter space. Otherwise very easy to work on.

 

how do you have that driver side exhuast ran? is it right under the front of the oil pan?

 

snakes around under the balancer, plenty of room and leaves clearance to work on things.

 

I like this set up nice clean and not Clattered with piping

 

Heres mine so far. This is a budget build but I think its coming out ok..

 

When i saw this setup on FSTFBDY's car i had to do it the same way or atleast close. If you wouldnt mind, could you post some pic's of under the car where the pipe runs? I want to see how it was put together down there. I will say, a very clean put togther system, if you wouldnt mind me asking, how much did you buy it for? I know its all stainless steel piping, etc.

 

I'll have to dig through my pics and see if I have anything from the underside, not sure what I have. Meant to start a build thread for the turbo setup but was kinda busy with a divorce lol. Now that I have garage space again I'll probably do a un-build thread when I finally swap it into the vert.
Can't really price it out at this point, we traded straight up my supercharger setup for the turbo setup

 

Please post the thread when you do so, im sure not only me is interested. Great job!

 

Im done with my turbo set up, just tuning now.

 

Ugh I wish I knew how to build a turbo set up...

 

You and me bith man. I just dont have the patience for it either. Rather buy built setup for the car at this point in time

 

Just takes creativity, a good welder, and time.
Tuning the ECU is the hard part!

 

I could build a turbo set up if i had everything but have no clue on the tuning the ECU part like fasteddi.

 

You guys underestimate yourself. A few good books and a budget welder will allow you to make your own kit. Just need some common sense and some basic craft skills to pull it off

 

Your definitly right as I never though Id be able to make a turbo setup and it works But now ive got it up and running and the tuning is under way. Slow process but it IS working the way I thought it would. And my build came in under 800 bucks. So it all about what you can fab up yourself, and how much creativity you have. Its a learning process thats forsure.

 

Thats gonna be one sick vert ! we need to meet up some day. Vert vs vert for some good ol fun. ( and you know IVE GOT 1ST DIBBS ON MY OLD SETUP BACK IF YOU DO GET RID OF IT)

For those looking for a few more pic's of it. Here. http://www.cecoatings.com/images/Car.../hotside304ss/

 

what u all think

 

That gives a great view of the setup. Few questions on the piping, turbo mounting, and the oil return line. If you ever have to remove the setup for what ever reason, how would you get it off? Is there like a clamp half way dividing the system? Also for the mounting of the turbo, is the turbo sitting up into the air or is it resting on the passenger side battery pan? And do you have any pictures on how the oil return line is ran?

 

If I ever get rid of it, it'll be replaced with twins and you'll have first dibs Chris

The pipes separate in the middle under the balancer, and the downpipe separates just before it turns down. The turbo is basically braced by the cold side piping. Goes through a hole in the battery tray and the pipe is supported by a bracket. The whole system comes apart remarkably easy. The 2 downsides is the oil drain and the air filter. The oil drains into a -10AN hose direct to a 90deg fitting, far from ideal, in to the fuel pump blockoff plate. I do run a restrictor on the oil feed though and have had no signs of the oil backing up at all. The air filter is simply a nightmare lol. Almost have to pull the fender to get it in, that will definitely be tweaked before it gets swapped in.

 

That would be my concern with that setup. Oil draining. My turbos are now in similar location and I will be running a scavenge pump....i just dont see a way to drain them, especially the driver side.

 

For your oil return, do you have a high volume oil pump? Im considering on running mine to the block off plate as well, but since i have a high volume pump im not sure it will work.

 

Painted the charge pipe, and added a (ok air filter set up for now) I'm very happy with what it looks and runs like for now. Not bad for making this build go from parts to running in a little under 2 months?? And its my first attempt at turboing any car.

What you guys think??

 

its pretty nice!

 

Thanks

 

Nice setup guys. I sold my supercharger and will soon have another turbo setup under the hood of my vert.

 

good to hear man....ive been re-designing my hot side....almost finished

 

sweet. You will deff. be glad ya keep it once the bugs are worked out. I liked the Novi buy wish I would have keep my old turbo setup.

 

heres my re designed setup that im almost finished with

 

In the middle of my build...
