New Stuff

this big fucker came, it is way bigger than i thought it was going to be.... lucky it fits, sorta. haha
it weighs 46lbs, 29 of that is the turbine housing
the turbine is a bit ridiculous haha, 111mm turbine. has nice billet aluminum backing plate
also started on the charge piping. could of just got rid of the cross pipe, decided i wanted to keep it, i bent the pipe in where it is open flush with the channel iron and welded that too
charge pipe will come out of IC and up like so
-
got alot done
first thing i did was build a drain box for the turbo, everybody likes a happy drainage, haha
here we have the intercooler setup done
turbo is all done and mounted, charge piping all done, intake done, exhaust is only thing left
on the charge piping i used hump hoses since the charge pipes are short and i use rubber engine mounts
i would usually weld the elbow on the turbo but i can pull the bearing housing and compressor out of the turbine housing if i would do that without dropping the IC
not a biggie i guess, just an extra coupler, haha
-
Your stuff is so badass! I wish I had a quarter or the skills and dedication that you have lol never seen a drain box before, any worries with it filling up faster then it drains them backing up into the turbo?
-
thanks man
na the box will help drain capacity, give it more degassing area
and was worried about having a new converter, functioning transmission and how it would get up on the brake with this 111mm turbine
well it makes boost so it is a good deal
NA it stalls at 3200rpm, but i can get it up on the brake
I let out at 10psi
car feels like it is on a whole different level when this comes up

Can't wait to see it run this summer!
-
thanks man, dont know if it will ever happen if i dont get started farming soon, haha
I should never feel the need to upgrade the exhaust anymore lol
With the charge piping gone I have an incredible amount of room on the passenger side
It is 5" from turbo to fender. All 11ga aluminum. It will be stock quiet still when wanted because the full exhaust will still be there
I don't have the cutout yet. I wanted a sound performance pneumatic one bit they only have 4". Race ready is the only 5" electric cutout around from what I see
exhaust is stupid loud, triple what my old 3" dump was
-
finished up the rest of the exhaust, it is weird to hear the thing quiet. goes from stupid crazy to stock vehicle
with the big ass thing open it is amazing how much still passes through the full exhaust, that surprised me
also did something a little different as opposed to before, it pointed slightly down before and on a dirty road or gravel the exhaust blow dust up and piss me off
so it is pointed up now
all i got left is working on the front end and plumbing the IC
