New winter new turbo build
#46
I redid everything because I wanted to improve things. With the original build, I could run a max of 2.5" IC piping, and with this I am up to 2.75". This will ensure better flow and ability to support power from any single turbo you can cram up there. Turbo blanket can be put on the turbine, but it is a good distance from everything. There is a good 2.5" of clearance on every side of the turbine.
With this (new) desighn I am really paying attention to everything. The old setup used stainless IC piping, this time I am using the proper aluminum stuff. Should be a top notch setup. I am really looking forward to getting this bolted to a built motor. I think the results will speakd for themseves.
$4800 give/take should cover it, including walbro, 6262 Precision and 550cc injectors. Should be good to high 500's, maybe even 600hp. No EMS. Nothing cheaper out there as far as new kits go.
I will stock turbos, w/g's (tial 44mm), BOV's (tial 50mm), Exa scavenge pumps, and a couple of other things for support if somethig goes wrong with a customers kit. Will ship overnight (my expense) if something does go wrong of fails. The pumps alone have a two year warranty from the manufacturer.

Now we need to make a group buy list release date and turbo kit emblem!
Will definitely consider this. If there is some way you can put together a base map for some engine management system then I think my c*** will fall off from fappage.
Can't wait man, seriously this looks awesome!

I have been thinkig about a tuner kit, not sure though. What is a true definition of a tuner kit? The instructions will be very good, that I can promisse. For example,
Turbo down pipe bolts will be in one zip lock bag, labled. Turbine inlet bolts will be in another bag, labled. For the scavenge pump, hardware will be in the scavenge pump box...trying to make it as simple as possible. That way there is no chance of me missing something when packaging.
As far as the DIY goes, that was the main concern. I wanted to make it as simple as possible to install, and as you can see it will be.

I got the IC piping welded up today, just the stuff going from the turbo to the IC.
I spent a bit more time under the car just making sure all is good. I decided to add another V-band on the exhaust. It will be right down stream where the two banks merge, right at the end of the pipe..(see picture below) This will make it a bit more compact for shipping and easier to install, not to mention a bit more room for error when it comes to welding it all up.

oh i'm getting excited. Tomorrow i go pick up my built motor so this week i'll start disassembling my car.
hopefully this local guy has the cash to take this vortech off my hands. I would like to have this turbo kit on my car and tuned before march rolls around.
