regulators!

 

Have you given any thought to a twin scroll setup since you're running a single turbo?

 

Not really I had a design worked out in my head and my friend Ameen did so too and we both agreed on this:

Done Son! But it doesnt clear the radiator, doah! Oh well more modifying to do....






Mike in action:

 

I'd gladly cheat on my girlfriend with you.

 

Could you take a downward angle shot so we can see how close the turbo is to the timing cover? Belt replacements don't look too bad. How about the turbo water lines. Is the passenger side support rod gonna impede the install of the water line at all???

 

Ummmmmm............? lol

Here is what I have as far as downward pics, I can get better ones if you would like:



The whole kit was designed with belt and accessory replacement in mind thus the use of the v-band flanges. Not only are they baller as hell, lol, I wont have to buy new gaskets everytime I need to remove the turbo setup for access.

The water lines are all going to have to be re-routed, the headers them selves run clearance issues. My plan is to re-route them using stainless steel braided hose and AN fittings. I guess its the price to play.

 

What about your wastegate plumbing?

 

Still don't like the H bracket. Seems kinda cheesy with all of the badass custom stuff you're doing.

 

Assuming the wastegate will be an open dump design. Couldn't imagine all the plumbing involved in possibly returning to the exhaust from that side of the motor.

What if you did an angulated radiator mount? Does the front end of the S14 allow room for that??? Then we would have to allow room for FMIC as well...running out of space, but then again I am not that familiar with the S14 up front.

What are your thoughts? plans?

 

I was thinking that was just for the fabrication (to hold the flange in place). My guess is that will change.

 

The H bracket you really dont see once the turbo is in there. It will stay, it serves a purpose and that is to support the turbo which isnt light.

Waste gate will not be ran open, it will be re circulated into the downpipe. I have an idea all mapped out in my head. Angulated radiator mount is indeed my plan. As long as I can get the top portion to tuck under my core support I will have plenty of room for the radiator and AC condensor. FMIC will go under the bumper reinforcement so there is plenty of room for that.

 

Well enough talk my friend. Back to work!!! J/K

 

Ha ha no $hit, there is so much left to do!

 

You have my utmost respect for this, I wish I could do this stuff. This car will be so awesome.

 

have it dump right behind the front bumper, would sound crazy. screw an exhaust!!!!!

 

man i wish someone would sticky this thread

 

Or you could just subscribe

 

When do you think you will have it drivable? I can't wait to see this thing drive.

 

What part of Cincy are you in?

 

MOARRRR!!!!
