Post Your Turbo or Supercharger

[SHO Dude]

It's bigger than the first ones I used. My prototype was a GT2876 and put 365 and 405 on the tires. This one is a GT30 and is on an automatic. Should be very responsive and make an ass-load of power.

Oh ok. Just looked small because of the pic I guess.

 

[SHO Dude]

It's starting to get a little crowded under here.

^^^How many quarts of oil ya need now?!

 

[SHO Dude]

It adds at least one.

 

[SHO Dude]

So that just about does it for the plumbing in the back.

Might be a stupid question but will the car need a maf after the turbo. Also what will the kit pictured run approx?

 

[SHO Dude]

Yup it still needs a maf. The pipes are built for a slot type maf.

The kit will sell for $5,000 including the intercooler for the axt kit and $4,800 for the mtx kit without an intercooler.

Anyone that has done these know that the turbo itself is not that expensive. It's the plumbing that makes it all work. We also ceramic coat that hot pipes to keep the heat inside the piping and doesn't allow the heat to be radiated into the charge air pipes.

I als noticed what about water getting sucked up by the Turbo??? What will you do about that for the rear mount?

One could argue that your Turbo is in just as much Danger being positioned anywhere else. There is a easy solution for not having water sucked up. Don't drive through massive puddles.

Nice job on the piping and placement Doug. I have been a internet admirer of your work for years. Simply fantastic to see new products for our old cars. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, Sir.

The filter will get a nylon sock before it leaves. The sock will keep water and everything else out including water.

Stupid but nessasary question, not that the engine is boosted and not sucking air will i need an external vacuum sorce?

For what brakes?

 

[SHO Dude]

Boosted or not, the engine still makes vacuum under part throttle and closed throttle operation.

 

[yamahaSHO]

Rubbish, I'm always under boost.


In the charge pipe.

 

[Toolman]

For what brakes?

The ones on the car.

Who knew one little comma could change the meaning of a sentence...

 

[shomethe$$$]

Not many changes to my whipple 2.3L Prelude,

It's probably the fastest car on this forum.

*Edit*, Sorry - I meant the fastest car in the world, not on this forum.
