Prelude to my radical twin turbo build (pic heavy)

[rodfarva]

^ That's the plan, but I'm always waiting on parts to get here which has put me way behind schedule

Once my engine is done. I'm going big stuff. Cant wait to hear how it works out. Great build and good luck with it.

 

[rodfarva]

Freshened up the 'Glide and upgraded to a JW Ultra Case and Tailshaft Housing. The OEM case had just about seen its better day.

Man the car is looking great!! If I didn't already have a race car being built I'd being doing the same thing.

Give it time, you'll change your mind again.

Here is a pic of my custom ice tank and fuel cell. The ice tank is approximately 5 gallons and the fuel cell is about 10.5 gallons. I'm either gonna go back later and polish or powdercoat them, but they will have to stay as they are for now due to time constraints. Thanks to Charles at G.R.E.A.D Tuning and Troy Cobb for their help making these.

Great build thread!

Cool, I'm thinking about doing a engine turned finish on my same sort of fuel cell for my rockcrawler.

Lined the ice tank/reservoir with insulation to prevent sweating

The spare tire well has been cut out and replaced with a flat sheet of stainless steel. I welded studs to it for mounting the ice tank and fuel cell and covered it with trunk liner.

I think I should have plenty of fuel

Impressive...........

Did you ever give any thought to plumbing a portion of the fuel line through the ice cell to keep the fuel temperature down? I realize there is a condensation consideration but with the lines running through cold water however cooler fuel entering the fuel system can help to a degree. Just a thought and wondering if you gave it some consideration.

Be cool to see her fly when you're done!

 

[rodfarva]

Yeah, I considered running a coiled fuel line through the ice tank, but after speaking with others, it didn't really seam like it was necessary.

 

[rodfarva]

A little progress

btw WTF is with the Evo?

 

[rodfarva]

The Evo belongs to someone else

Alright, since this thread has strayed a little bit from it's title and since the twin turbo build is still a while off, I'm gonna start a new thread featuring the current 4.0L Whipple build...stay tuned.
