Twin Turbo Build Progress -pics-

[Redsnake2]

I'm not really surprised at how fast Green is doing this project. Once you collect all your parts you just go out there and do it.. Plus there is no header removal or cutting into fender wells and stuff.

But if you guys are like me, you go one day I'm going to start this project. i can't tell you how many times I have walked out to my car and raised the hood, looked at it. though about removing the headers, closed the hood and walked back in the house.... LOL I had to add a bolt to my headers once and had to call my wife out to hold the socket, so i know they are a PITA.

But once all my parts are collected and I get off my lazy ass and do it. My project should go just as fast.

Don't get me wrong. Green you are the man for originality alone and to you. Once i get mine done I'm taking a trip up your way so we can go import hunting and shot some vids...

How are you routing the piping back to the engine compartment to the intake??

Ok, those blue tubes i posted, that tube runs from the intercooler over the driver's fender and under, where i will be making a T from the twins into it. Right now im waiting for some J-bends for that section, there comming next week sometime, so there wont be a huge ton of progress for a while, just ods and ends, im gonna get it ready so all i have to do pipe that in and its ready.

As far as how fast it is, i really havent been working on it ALL that much, i work a 40 hour week. i mean with not having to F with the engine bay wiring, piping, and headers its pretty damn easy....i just sorta inturrupted the exhaust where it normally goes lol. Also if i wasent waiting on random parts it would have been done allready!

anyhow, a little issue ....it seems my tilton diff oil pump is too fast....it pumps but cycles....like load/no load in about 2 sec increments.....and its really loud....its louder than the car at idle by alot. Now, can anyone tell me how to properly slow down a dc motor...it draws ~5 amps,.....I know you must reduce voltage, however ill be damned if i cant think of an easy way to do it....i tried a 120v ac fan dimmer switch but it does nothing, the motor wouldent turn...i went to radio shack and got a rehostat and the pump draws too much and smoaked it! Any help would be great.

Eaither that, or i will have to re-locate it to where my rear seat was and put some sound insulation in there...any ideas?

i'm surprised they don't have some sort of voltage regulator that you can splice in.. did you ask the guy a the shack for something like that?

Well this is a high current potentiometer. It can handle up to 10 amps continuous. And is variable. 50 V max. This should do the trick, have no idea on prices or availability. I would search for something like this though.

i cant wait to put some load on the car, actually driving it to see where the boost comes in and how fast

just make sure you get a tune so you dont end up like somebody we know

 

[OrangeMustangGt]

whell, i just ended up mounting it in my rear seat area in a sound-damped metal box that i made...with the seat delete over that, it will be very quiet

Also i started my next project on it, i will be making a rear seat delete, and where your back would normally be, on the verticle board i am going to mount 2- 12" subs with an amp in the trunk. I got a system at best buy, some MDF board at home depot, all i have left to get is some black carpet...ill post pics on how this comes out!

Geez dude! Did you knock over Ft. Knox to afford all this stuff?

 

[OinkAodeOink]

you remind me of myself, lol

 

[mcmmotorsports]

Would a similar setup using a single turbo work?
Re-read the question, would it work, not will it make globs of power, but could you see gains of lets say, 50-70 hp with a single remote setup?

 

[Crawlin306]

You've gone through some work pal! Keep it buddy, I'd love to see this thing move in action!

 

[OrangeMustangGt]

sure a single would work, but i see it as a problem.....first of all, a single is larger so you may have to notch the floor to get it high enough, other than that, sure.

 

[RIO5.0]

Wow...You are the official "fabmaster" of SN...amazing what a welder and some piping can do...
Make sure you let me know when you head to NED.....I wanna see and hear this Betty in action...

 

[91LX_5L]

Sweet man been watching your progress. Will that intercooler tube not get in the way of the inner fender liner?

[Blackened302]

those rear-seat-delete kits are pretty sweet, nice work.

 

[Mac-man]

yeah those are real nice, definately have a custom touch to them

 

[OrangeMustangGt]

thanks again....the piping may get in the way of the liner, but i have a razor knife

As far as the seat delete, you will see what im gonna do, its sorta custom, i will be making a speaker box into the back part of the delete....it will look flush from the interior, but the sub box will extend into the trunk. I am also making the bottom part removeable to access my oil pump, and to change the air filters, etc.

Ill try and post some pics of my progress tommorow, as i will be starting on the custom seat delete.

But when you hit a bump really hard, will the wheel/tire have sufficient clearance? Looking great man! My hats off to you.

 

[Redsnake2]

yea and they are cheap. the lst time we spoke it was $150 for the custom job and $100 for the plan.
i gave him the idea of using colored plexi-glass
