Thought I would start a project thread on here for those of you who like to look at turbo eye candy. Its getting done at Absolute in Petaluma.
I will be using:
2 Turbonetics T04E T3/T4 57mm Turbos
2 Turbosmart ultragate 38mm wastegates
1 Turbosmart raceport BOV
8 LS3 60lb Injectors
Stainless steel downpipes and aluminum charge pipes
intercooler
Mocked up the headers and manifold. Need to adjust the angle of the manifold flanges to go upward 10 degrees so it won't hit my alt and compressor. I decided to try out the obx since they came already polished. I figured for 450$ it was worth a gamble. Well.... they fit perfect so Im going to try them out. The valve covers will be replaced with billet ones since the carbon ones can't take the turbo heat. Now just have to wait for my other parts to get here. Stay tuned!

OK, what intake is that?!?! And who makes those valve covers? And where are those coils going? Talk already! WOW!!!

It was made by a guy named Jamie Krogdahl and uses 2 electric throttle bodies. I have a Holley Dominator harness and ecm which will allow me to run both.
Valve covers are made by Carbon components. Some people say they leak but these ones didn't on the other car. They will melt though with the up and forward headers so they need to be replaced with billet ones. Coils will be ran on the front crossbar.
I guess I could start a car build thread for those of you that wanted to see the whole car.

The firewall will stay clean since the masters and brake lines will all be under the dash with remote fillers mounted in the cowl panel

This is a nice car but not out of the realm for anyone if they have the money to throw at a shop. Not really a build thread.

I appreciate your comments but not everything was done by a shop. I was the one who assembled the engine, subframe, suspension, brakes, etc.
Shop painted it and another shop is doing the turbo/wiring since I have no idea to do turbo kits nor did I want the engine to explode.

I don't see that Tony's comment really has a place in this thread. Not everyone has the expertise to do every aspect of the car not to mention this is the forced inductions section.
John, absolutely gorgeous car. I can't wait to see the finished project.

Is Fesler building this for you? I talked to them about building one for me at SEMA??
John510
04-22-2012, 10:21 PM
No Fesler isn't building it. Absolute customs in Petaluma is doing the turbo work. Thanks for the comments guys

Do you own a carbon fiber business sheesh... That intake is pure sex

Nice build! I'm interested to see how those obx turbo headers work out. Lots of talk going on about them, but no one has really seemed to put them to the test yet.

Nobody complains when they show the work that the machine shop/engine builders did assembling shortblocks, but does that take away from the 'build' if someone else does work that is outside your talent or skill level?
OP, great looking build. I love the intake and the wheels are beautiful as well. Keep up the progress pics, I'm interested to see how this turns out.

It is a Chris Alston G link. Front rim is a 19x9 and I forget the tire size.

Sweet build regardless whether it's built in a garage or at a shop. I think I've seen your car on one of the PT forums also. Keep the posts coming
