I have a second motor im building on the side to run on methanol and twin 6766 turbos with that will be a little more extreme.
Damn. As if the first motor wasn't extreme enough!

looks like there should be plenty of room for the gates and a recirc pipe.

Are the turbos high enough for gravity oil drain? Looks like they are.

Loving the update! Are the black steel plate from the earlier picture what you used to support the turbos?

Do the jethot polished coating! 2 birds with 1 stone...or coating

I think that looks awesome. It almost makes me want to have this built but with just some 5557's up there for a nice moderate build street machine that still looks awesome in the engine bay.

We just did those plates to hold them in place for fab work. Will be wire framing the front end with some 1/2" tubing and we will build a heim joint hanger when that is done for the turbos so they are semi rigid but will still move with heat expansion to prevent cracking.

Shot of the downpipes. Wont have any updates for a bit while I get caught up on some customer stuff. Waiting for new clutch to show up and motor to come back from machine shop. Will also be concentrating on getting the fuel system converted over to stainless hardlines and wiring after hours.
