The 50 Shades Turbo Saleen In 50 Pics. The Final Chapter

There is no difference in wheel size though.. that's what matters. Compressor is 76mm and exhaust turbine is 75 (too small). Along with that .96 exhaust housing you are using.... likely too small.

Ahhh there’s the difference. The LS series is a garbage $900 turbo. I’m
There is however a significant difference in the amount of exhaust/air they move under load. .96 exhaust housings are what I’ve used exclusively on 4v single turbo cars for quite some time now with great success. While anything is possible, I’d highly doubt that the turbo in this case is the culprit. It very possibly could be that the clogged injector is the sole cause.
10/4.. would hate to see that intake mani go, but if youre confident in that turbo then have at it lol.
Injectors cleaned and each flowing 1300cc. And here’s your new engine bay. Just when I didn’t think I could like it more than before.....I love the added polish of the HPP sheetmetal upper on top of the bronze Sullivan lower (the keen eye will notice I had the rails done in wrinkle blue to match the valve covers). Let’s try this whole dyno thing again lol
Shout out to my buddy Geoff who bought my last build for agreeing to swap intakes. You’re a solid dude!

Man I wish I had room for this, it is so well thought out and executed. I can't wait for you to finish just to drool over it.
Personally I like the polished intake better too. Good move.
Come get it
Gracias. It really ties in the turbo, alternator and BOV nicely...not to mention the polished lips on the wheels
I run polished pieces along with red and black. The polished definitely brings home the cake.
Looking forward to the dyno results!

It’s a win win, I will send pictures once installed, maybe a pull on boost if roads are clean and at a reasonable temp, as attached picture is from our local toy run 4 days ago
I was being a wuss and put my bike away when it started raining that morning because I didn’t want to spend 8 hours cleaning it. It snowed right after the parade ride to the toys for tots tree, so it was a whiteout when we all got back outside.

I am freezing looking at that picture!! It is in the 50s here and it's cold.
Looking back at the engine bay pictures, I like the new hat because it shows the intake runners better but I think I liked the color on the old hat for some reason. That is one of those things that is purely subjective though.

Looks great!! Get that beauty back on the dyno!
Geoff I’ll kill you if you drive that car on those roads before spring lol
And yes it is totally subjective but with the polished turbo I do love the polished hat. Both two of my favorite 4v intakes any way you slice it. Some before and afters
I spent about 10 minutes going back and forth with the pictures and came to the conclusion that It looks good either way. I do however like seeing the intake runners better.
Thanks very much sir!
