The proto typing of a 2011 GT turbo kit

[CPRsm]

Good good. Spots are filling up fast.:-D

Some of the finalized parts are finally rolling in so I can make a finalized down pipe.You can see in the other pics it wasn't fully welded because the sides where they butt together weren't the same size. I could only tack together for mock up.

As if the quality of those manifolds and the welding didn't speak for itself, I did a little research and someone, well known around here, told me that you can really build some good stuff... so I'm waiting to see what comes out of this kit.

Someone in Fl? Hmmm. Is it someone I've bribed ? LOL
That's cool man. Nice to strive for quality and people notice it.

What's the plan to isolate the hot side of the turbo from the throttle body so the work done by the intercooler isn't for nothing?

 

[CPRsm]

With the blanket on the turbo it's not going to be bad. It isn't real close to the exhaust though. Either way, under the hood is always going to heat soak a tube under the hood. What you will see from this cruising around is inlets above ambient temp. Temps will go down for a second at WOT as the cooler air rushes in from the intercooler. That incoming air cools the inlet tube faster than the engine bay can put heat in. At idle with ice in my car (as an extreme example) I see 65-70 degree inlets hood closed. The higher the RPM the lower they go. When I got WOT, they drop down in the the high 30's.

Do you have pics or an idea as to where the WG is going to be placed, and also what size WG?

 

[CPRsm]

I have only a 50mm plumbed right now because of his car. I have another coming in shortly and I'll add a 40mm for lower HP cars. The 50mm surface area is larger than two 38mm gates. It will be a bit over kill for your average car. I don't want the boost curve to be too sensitive. But this is the 50 gate. I've got one last trick up my sleeve I'll show a little later.

Dang, that looks pretty good bro.

I'm waiting on a video of it transforming into a robot with turbos for ears....op: Hey were still working on funds to get Chris one for his car. Talk at yea soon, Mr fab it up....;-)

 

[Illtaketwlight]

Hey you know what. That would make a cool avatar for you. A robot with turbo.s on each side of its head.

 

[Ry_Trapp0]

nah, it needs turbo eyes with an intercooler mouth and a blow off nose, YEAH!

Better put yer foot in his ass. LOL Need one last kit to go out for an auto.

That pic makes it look pretty easy. But that big bastard wasn't easy to put there lol.

Like the new sig Ry :lol1:
