Fuel's Winter Project: Build It Before It Blows

[Mike K]

Check the track day thread. Just an option on a kit for ya.

Does anyone recognize my new turbo kit.....(Stolen pic, its not here yet)

 

[JoshK]

Something is missing here



Maybe its all this piping and a turbo

One Eyed Willie's hot side? I wish!!

 

[JoshK]

Yep, damn you guys are good.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Think he'll make me one?

 

[lethe]

Nice looking hotside.

 

[JoshK]

I really like the way he designed it. Full 3" piping everywhere, from before the Y, all the way to the end of the Y back to the rear, everything is 3". Not to mention, it runs between the k-member and engine so everything is tucked up(aftermarket k and ps line mods required). Will finally be able to lower the car without worring about too small of an up-pipe or scrapping pipes. I will also easily be able to do the dual 3"x30" resonator dumps that i have been wanting to do since they will fit right on the Y.

That is sexy. How does a guy get his hands on that setup.....

 

[Doug M]

That's awesome Josh!

Josh curious how much boost
I know with the Zimmer hot side I'll be tapped at 16 or 18 lbs

 

[JoshK]

The numbers in my sig were made with a peak of 19lbs around 3500rpm, but held at 18lbs through the rest of the pull

Cool looking forward to the numbers.

Hope it holds with no back pressure issues

Keep up the good mods

I am not really changing turbo kits to make anymore power. I am happy with the power the car is making now. I wanted to get a kit that will allow me to run the stance that I want. I also think that lowering the car some while adding all the other suspension mods will gain me some traction. I have to get the 6060 in this year along with building up the rearend.

 

[Doug M]

You going to take it to the track this year?

 

[JoshK]

It is apart now until next summer more than likely. I am going to have the piping recoated. Then have to pickup a k-member before I can install the kit. It won't do any good to go to the track now since the trans refuses to go into third now under any kind of spirited driving. I just as well wait to install the new turbo kit until I get a 6060 here too then, since I will need to remove the kit again to swap transmissions. It will probably be a few months of just collecting parts and then a fun reassembly in the spring again.

Kind of sad since I only got the car back on the road again in what May or June?

 

[Doug M]

Man! Sorry to hear you only got to enjoy it for a bit. Most of the time big power= some big headaches. After you get all your parts, you should be set though. Good luck man.

 

[JoshK]

eh, its all part of modding. I look at it as one step closer to the car i really want

 

[06stangia]

You are nuts! Hahaha

Good attitude to have. Hope you make it to your goal!
