Really looks like an awesome build! Nice to see a budget project comming so nicely together.
As this is an budget project, what kind of turbo's are they and where did you buy them? |
Great lookin' project! That crossmember looks nice!
As for the turbo set-up, the only thing I ever find in a recycle bin are old soda cans! :mad: Shiny Side Up! Bill |
Thanks guys!

I bought the CHRA used from a guy on the Supraforums. The housings were bought from here. www.turbonetics.com :thumbsup: |
Great build.
What are the specs on that turbo? I'm not up to date on the 2JZ stuff |

Sweet! I wish the trash at my job was that cool... Will you need to drop the compression or change the cam to add the hairdryer? |

It is a "T66" with a p-trim turbine wheel. It's actually fairly small for this size motor but I wanted something that would spool instantly and I don't plan on running very much boost..........for now:_paranoid Quote:
I'm going to keep the boost pressure around 5-7 psi which should allow me to leave the stock internals. "317" truck heads have 6cc larger chambers and flow quite a bit better than the "853" heads that are on it now. If I were to find a set of those heads reeeeeeeally cheap I might get them but I am not worried about it right now. |
I wasn't going to post new pics until I had the headers made but I am to impatient. I changed my mind ONCE AGAIN and will be going with twins now. I traded the T66 for two 60-1's with T3 hot sides. I did a quick moch up, final placement will be similar to where they are now just a little closer to the firewall and a little lower.

Looking good! :thumbsup:
Cant wait to see more! Paul |
Thanks Paul! I've got some pretty big shoes to fill.

Looks GREAT!! Doesn't look like it's gonna be fun though. Looks almost scary. Are you gonna leave the coil packs there? I doubt they'd handle the heat those turbo's are gonna be putting out.

Jason! You may want to think about fabbing a coil pack relocator so that the turbos don't fry them! John |

I've considered moving them but I am not sure just yet. The compressor side doesn't reach near the temps the turbine side does plus I am going to move the turbos back towards the firewall away from the coils. My SRT4 reaches EGT's in the 1700's and the hot side of the turbo is a mere inches from the factory coil pack. I hope that GM manufactured a decent enough coil to rival Dodge's reliability. :lol: I'll probably just make a little stainless heat shield for the coils for the time being. |
Well, it's been a long couple weeks and I haven't got much accomplished but here is where I am at. I mounted the I/C but I still need to make support brackets for the uprights. Each piece that gets placed in the compartment reminds me how cramped it's going to be.
Basic overview, BOV and cold pipe in place. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/103_1075.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/103_1069.jpg Running the hot side pipes are going to be interesting. I am planning on running them even with the downbars but just underneath which on the passenger side is no big deal, but I have a P/S pump to contend with on the drivers side. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/103_1071.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/103_1076.jpg This view shows how high I have the I/C mounted. The plan here is to split the incoming air in two. I am hoping to have a lower valence/air dam that will direct air under the I/C and onto the radiator. It's kind of hard to picture it without the front end mounted but imagine the very bottom of the current fiberglass even with the bottom of the frame heads. The air dam will extend another 4-5" below that and have it's own shrouding. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/103_1072.jpg BTW: I have removed the coil packs for the time being until I can figure out exactly where the turbos are going to end up. I've experimented with the coils removed and the turbos mounted down low(where they're at in the pics) and up high with the coils in place and I like them better up high. |
looks good wheres the front subframe from or did you make it.

i believe its C4 vette on his own rails.

There are some pics in my signature :thumbsup: |
I've had some pretty major changes both with the car and some personal things lately so I've sold all the turbo components. The twin turbo set-up will live on through another Nova guy.
Anyway, I've had a little time to start moching up the radiator and intake as well as redo the watts link. I have been shopping around for a C6 Corvette factory take off airbox/bellows/maf etc but I had some leftover 3.5" aluminum tubing so I'm just going to use it instead. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1165.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1166.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1167.jpg The 9" bars I was using on the watts link didn't allow enough suspension dropout to remove both wheels at the same time so I picked up some 12" bars and remounted it to the rearend. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1169.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1171.jpg HP tuners, headers, exhaust, fuel cell, fuel lines, radiator hoses, a few small items and the engine will be ready to run. |
Looking great!! Progress is always a good thing!! Something I wouldn't know anything about!!:lol:

I've got about 80 hours into this lip now and I'm still not finished filling in some low spots or priming it.
Sorry about some of the blurry pics(camera battery was dieing that day) I took some 18 gauge 304 stainless and made four pieces, two for the front and one for each side. I left some gaps on the side pieces so I could round the edges to match the bumper. I'll lay the fiberglass on real thick so it can with stand a lot of abuse. I rolled the edge to give me a surface to attach to the lower portion of the bumper. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1352.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1353.jpg Getting everything centered before throwing some rivets to hold it in place. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1354.jpg I ended up using bolts because the rivets I had were to long. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1355.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...r/100_1356.jpg |

Curiousity has been getting the better of me lately so I borrowed the big boss mans scales.
