damn that is going to be sick
sick
Looks good man.
Trans is currently a 3650 with upgraded clutch, Steeda triax but I've already contacted Liberty About a Viper Spec T56
The WG spring is a 8 pound spring to start (concidering im running a stock motor lol). The turbo will eventually be spun to around 22-25 psi or so
5'' Downpipe... Thats huge...
looks nice how much for fabrication?
4K for the fabrication, and install, 3 hours for basic tune, pusher fans, fabbing of a over flow tank, redoing of the cooling and a/c lines and PS lines.
I supplied the turbo,injectors,MAF,BOV,Injectors, Pump, WG, intercooler
Short vid of initial startup added....damn it sounds mean
sick
radiator fan?
Car actually runs 3 rad fans. 2 pushers and 1 puller fan.
The car is runnign 42# injectors because it still on a stock motor and anythign bigger was pointless for awhile

I picked the car up today and i will scan and post the dyno sheet tomarrow.
At ony 5 psi the car made 390rwhp/380ftlbs trq and hit full boost by 4000rpms.
I wanted to play it safe on the hp side as grenading the motor wasn't something i could afford after this.
Charge temps NEVER get over 120degrees
Yes i know thats NOTHING for this turbo, but between having to pay off my 04expedition and finshing school in 4 months OR blowing the rest of my money on this car....i cant tell you which got the vote.
The kit will support any power that i could concieve wanting anytime soon so id rather have ALOT of room to grow then none at all

Awesome man. Im going to be putting the blower on my car in the next week hopefully. I just got done ordering all the parts.
very nice. I cant wait to see the curve. I had a gt47-80 on my 03 cobra and it spooled a lot faster than people thought. The turbo you have is the BEST hands down turbo for the street/strip. My big ass turbo was for the highway races.
Dont get greedy and turn it up and blow your motor, you sound like you know what you are doing... the upgrades and more boost will come later but keep it safe for now and just enjoy it!

Well that didn't take long at all. Drove the car for about an hour yesteday not even all that hard. Drove it for 30 min today and saw white smoke from under teh hood and had never reved the car over 3k today. Pulled over and smoke was pouring out the passenger side near the firewall. Coolant on the firewall too.
Had the shop come out to where i was with a trailor and the builder came with. There was a large amount of coolant missing from the expansion tank and he checked the pump and he didnt think it was moving any coolant....Great. Pumps bad, and he's worried that the coolant on the firewall is from a warped head, which sucks because as soon as i saw the smoke i checked the gauge and it was only between the M and A on the gauge it never even got close to the red.
What do you guys think? Blown head gasket? Warped head? none of the above?
Im hoping it something simple like a coolant line, but that wouldnt explain the water pump not moving coolant. But if the pump was bad how was coolant getting to the back of the motor to spray out for any conciderable amount of time. Were talking ai probably lost 2-3quarts of coolant
