Finally got started on my turbo/blothru

Just started this week. Got a lot to do but at least I'm moving now.... Not gonna be a race car, just a toy.



521" all forged, with a 98mm. E85 blothru.

Holy cow that looks hugh in the engine bay !!!

Yea its big, but I think its gonna be ok. If I can get the radiator on the other side of the support.

I have a Scirocco size radiator on mine and just finished mocking it up inside the core support. The elec fans stick out a little but it's better and cleaner than sitting in the stock location.

Kool, I'm staying with the same size rad, and thinking about pushingit forward and tilted back. Prolly gonna cut up, or out most of the core support. I already have a tubular bumper, might just get the support in tubing too.

I also got a hat in the mail yesterday...

Looks good so far. Now get back to work and get it finished. You have till Mustangweek. You, Brad, and Myself will all have to have our turbo cars done by then.

Boy, that would be awesome....I need a truck load of money just to get it there....lol

OK...a little more progress. New motor and trans. Hot and cold side fabbed. Mount radiator, wastegate and the rest of the downpipe. Oil return to pan and some other odds and ends and this thing will be ready to fire...

Updates??

That thing looks killer in there!!!

Finished product...if there ever is such a thing...lol!..

Wow that is giving me inspiration I have gathered parts now just need the willpower..LOL

So how's it run?

Looks a bit front heavy LOL!

Awesome! What's the build/motor specs?

That turbo looks a lot like the Cat one I have sitting in the shop!! Do you have any other close-ups of the turbo and how you ended up mounting the rad?

Awesome car!!

521", 9.5:1, 4bolt block, all forged, E85, 98mm...

Looks like loads of fun. I wish you had some dyno numbers.

How are you controlling or limiting the boost on that deal? How much does it make?
