Turbo is done

[AREA 91]

Nice job Sal! I bet you'd like me to put one of those on my 91+, huh?

Wow, awesome work!!

hey thats a nice set up! btw whats up with the spark plugs? i've never seen that on a sho before? (im new to shos anyways)

Sal did a custom coil-on-plug job. Impressive .

Wow, I didn't even notice. How do you control the firing with a COP retrofit? I've been doing some reading on EFI and if I understand correctly, the PCM can utilize a COP setup to tailor spark depending on different parameters. If a car doesn't have that logic built into the PCM already, is there any advantage to using a COP setup? Is there an aftermarket unit from MSD or someone else that you can use to control the setup?

Do a search, I did a whole write up on the conversion.

Looks good, is the drain back on a huge angle or is that just the pic?

Also wat size is that turbo. It looks small.

It's gotta be at an angle, because you need a clear downward path to gravity drain back. I could make it point straight down, but then I'd still need to kick it over 45* with a fitting to head towards the motor.

It's a Holset HC1. Pretty much T4 sized. Used on the early 90s Cummings Dodges.

Good choice. I have the sucessor to that one, a 35.

Wow, I just saw this Sal! Very nice indeed.

I also noted the orientation of the oil lines. Any way to get your center section closer to upright?

Looks very nice though Sal, packaged very well. How far back does your DP go before it joins the rest of the exhaust?

Thanks Tim. My downpipe connects to the factory ball socket where the stock Y pipe would end. All one piece up to the turbo, but of course it's fit for my car.

Is this car in FL at your shop? Ever thought of hosting a FSHOC open house or something...? I know 3 people that would show up for sure (you guys know who you are!)

Very nice work btw

Missed this post somehow.... Yes, the car is in Palm Coast. I would be happy to host some kind of SHO meet, maybe a dyno day or something, depending on how many guys we can get to show up. There's a lot of FL owners, but FL is also a big state .

Yes and there are alot of owners that don't even visit this board. Perhaps something early '08 after the holidays? The majority of us are in central and south FL that do meet up every once in a while. Maybe your turbo beast will get some more people to come out like my s/c '91 used to.

Now that it sounds like you have the CCV problem solved, how is the clutch taking it?
