Brian from B&G sent me some pics of his progress on my setup.

Those are 1 7/8" primaries. Those headers are a different design on what he usually does but because of how he did them the only thing i have to do is move the perportioning valve. He himself was impressed with the clearance.

I can post the pics individually on here but i figure the thumbnails would be easier and faster...

What the hell... DIAL UP WARNING

that is a mock-up... He doeshave one of my heads, valve covers and those are my motor mounts.

Now i don't like the fact that i didn't do it myself, BUT... There is no way i could make anything look that nice and i don't have any experience in turbo's so i did not want to take on the chalange quite yet.

After everything is done it gets a ceramic coating.

that header flange is thick!!!!!

looks good.

Well he had to make that one completely from scratch... Do to that head being a fairly new to the market he didn't have any flanges pre-made.

Here is a link to another link i just got put together showing pics of my shortblock... The paint is actually a darker blue.. But the camera flash made it turn out that kinda ugly blue.

What's the specs on the shortblock?? Where is this shop at? What kind of #s are you hoping to get with this set up? Where did you get the turbo? If you don't mind me asking, how much mula is this setup going to cost?? Thanks.
That is a dart sportsman large bore (4.125), (unfortunatly not aluminum.) Hindsight i wish i would have spent the money on the iron eagle, This block should do everything i want it to, especially with a low rpm turbo setup but i would have had a little more piece of mind. The stroke is 4.00" So putting the displacement around 427.6 something. The cam is a FTI custom HR.

THe pistons are ross customs, 44cc dishes.

Brian's Shop is in Belmont ohio. The turbo's were purchased new from precision turbo. (pt-67)

And yes that is just one of the twins in the picture.

Power: Depending on the fuel, pump gas around 900 fwhp 13 psi. Meth/water or race fuel around 12-1400+ with 24+ psi. He said within 5% accuracy i should see over 1200 with 23 psi. That was the goal was roughly 1000 rwhp and more at tap if i wanted push it.

thats looking really nice so far. you should see that with what you have going. whats your top end setup?
top end: jegs/kaase heads, the Edelbrock EFI super victor (Same as spyder but direct from Edelbrock), 150lb injectors w/matching pmas blow thru 3", and a whopping 75mm accufab tb (fox style setup).
 
that shortblock looks pretty sick.

those primaries look huge, almost as big as those header flanges lol. brian does good work

the motor, turbo, and engine bay is going to look sick.

when do you think you'll have it all finished?

not too fond of the white walls out mounted on the prostars tho
 
hoping to be completely done by the end of spring..

I need to get a rear-end, finish the fuel system, and a driveshaft. Other then that I have all the major stuff taken care of and just need TIME to work on it and put things together.
