Smile Made some progress on the turbo build...
pressure side of the fuel system is plumbed...still need to mount the fuel cell and run the feed/return lines...Aeromotive rates this setup to support 3500 hp

-12 to pump, -10 from pump split into 2 -8 lines to rails. Other side of rails -8 to regulator and -10 return



Mounted the vacuum pump puke tank...-12 line connecting pump to tank



Figured out the "super short belt" mod.... crank and alternator only



Oh...and its now a true drag radial car...315/60/15s...

Love that radiator setup! What kind of pump(s) are you using to feed those monster fuel lines?

Wheres the turbo????

Those guys whittling the aluminum away with a hand file over there at the turbo factory?


Build looks first class Are you doing all the turbo set up fabrication yourself? Gotta love the sideshot pic of the meat too.

I made a gasket out of rubber sheet. Had to make an adapter to use the FAST style TB with the Ford style elbow.
