One side welded up.. Notice I took the picture a safe distance aways.:icon_brilsmurf:

LOL, I'd have to say it looks darn good from here still though

[XJHEAD]

Anyone see a problem with the placement like this???

[zbrown]

could you have bearing issues like that possibly?

Never thought of that. The drain will still be on the bottom.

Here are some close up welds. These are about as good as I get. Give me some 1/4"+ plate and a stick welder.

Those pics are mighty small but thats damn good for a stick welder. Looks like you might have a little bit of undercut on the top.

Turbos should be ok to ~30 degrees of tilt. I'd imagine you won't have much of an issue at that angle.

I was chatting with the owner of this car last night. He had the same concept in a 57' and built this vehicle. He said he has no problems whatsoever. His are mounted 30* , mine wil be about 20*.

I definitely like the way you have them oriented in there though.... looks hot

I thought it looked pretty good too. I got one side all welded up. Still need to add the w/g and start the other side. I'll have to move the inlet on the radiator now.

Not like i have daily driven a 700hp turbo car for 2 years, keep your personal assaults to yourself

Which car do you have that has 700 hp? I just can't recall it at this time.:icon_scratch:

[Grr]

serious? my gn made well into the 600s on pump gas all the time. And using simple math and dragstrip calculators put it in the 700hp area, and i never even turned it up at the strip. Now my T/A will make quite a bit more than 700hp, hopefully it will hook

[Christian]

Oh I see. Have any dyno sheets on the GN. Why wouldn't you turn it up at the strip? I'm just asking isn't that the point of going out there, to see what it can run?

[Grr]

everytime i went to the strip i was just out for a cruise and didnt want to break it. In fact ususally i didnt even have my scanner with and i just made some big change. I upped it to about 12psi in brainerd once but it was so damn hot out i didnt even want to run it, did 11.7@128 leaving off idle on my 1700 stall converter, 2.3 60'. When i ran 11.4@119 in sabin i was at 7-8psi and there was a 35mph headwind, 1.7x 60', it sucked that day

Bring the T.A prepared this year and let's see what it can do. I'm interested what a 700 hp car can do. Your talking flywheel hp right? Not trying to be a dick just dosen't add up to me and I'm not a rookie at this shit.

You are a stud Parker.

you bet, i plan on coming out this year a couple times, being its a stick and i dont wanna destroy the trans i dont expect it to be terribly fast. but all i have to do is idle down the track and get a timeslip to be faster than parker, so thats a plus!

[Christian]

Why even go then. Sounds like a waste of time to me. Let it rip and break some shit if you have to. Weed out the weak parts, come back stronger next time.
