Haven't even finished my 495LSX and 396SBC because I'm missing parts left and right so I figured what the hell. I'm going to start on my TTTR build, using parts I have lying around, checking what I still need and what to modify.

T ram with the throttle linkage and thermostat, not gonna use the linkage since it's going to interfere anyway


Have a new retrofit T56 lying around, perfect for the gray iroc so I threw it on there. Used a spare crossmember since I knew I had to modify it and continued mocking up. the turbos are off my 82 corvette. The manifolds are one off units from AMW. Turbos are rotomaster t04b, wastegates are rotomaster also. Downpipes will need to be modified to fit, they are 3" stainless units. TB is a billet TPIS 52mm unit.





Here's my vac line solution, simple and effective.



Next problem is, the serpentine system will not fit on the pass side.

Solution, as always...cut and modify



Now to fabricate an idler pulley since the AC delete thing won't fit either

Fabbed 3 tubes, 2 threaded to retain the bracket. The lowest one is not a stock hole


base finished


fabbed a threaded hub for the idler pulley (a std 90mm unit like used on pretty much anything these days)


alignment looks OK


That's how far I got. I had to repair my last tensioner (bolt broke off) and modify a std rotation wp to set it all up since I gave away the alst iron spare rev rot one I had (stupid of me)

I'm also modifying the old air pump into a vac pump. I had one but it's a larger unit (not the metric smaller one) and I blew it up. I broke all the carbon vanes in that one.

 

Cut holes in the crossmember for the wastegates and like I hoped the 2 access holes on the bottom conveniently allow access to the allen stud to adjust the wastegates. Nice





finished my new idler pulley setup

I glass beaded it for a nice surface texture like the other stuff




It works like a champ


also fabbed a relocation bracket for the throttle linkage thing but I may have ff-ed up..might be too tall to clear the hood so I'll have to angle the thing down a bit more

 

This is bad ***! My dad passed away and always loved the superram on our formula, so I will be doing an F1R all out superram build in the years to come!

This is absolutely awesome! I can't wait for updates and follow this build. You have the most bad *** stuff laying around... I just have 3 superrams chilling...

 

Another T-ram thread I have to follow, thanks!

 

I'll be following this thread! You do have the most badass stuff haha.

 

awesome work. motor looks great and love the fab work thats being done. definitely gonna follow this thread

 

Here's a comparison with the banks manifolds (and some larger turbos)
