Will that radiator be able to support the 1200 or so HP that you'll be making? Looks good!

Why aren't you going with a bigger turbo? That turbo is a great bargain, but you could have made the same power on the twin setup.

My guy was slow and gave me a good deal to do the FM setup, so I figured get it done now, then when the race moter goes in this winter I do the 86mm.

That turbo looks sick sitting behind the mesh grille. Not very stealthy but it looks awesome.

How are you gonna fit a filter on the inlet?...and please dont say screen. With it placed there youll have to do some kind of shroud to block rain if you plan to drive it in that kind of weather.

^true story!

As far as the radiator goes...if you ever run into problems Im sure removing the thermostat will solve any extra heat.

The turbo screen...just run a k&n pre-filter and avoid dirt roads and rain like the fu**ing plague.


Cannot wait to take a ride in a 1,200 hp V1!!! Keep it up B!

I take it you don't plan on retaining the air conditioning? Interested to see how this turns out. Those 4202's are sexy, I was thinking of running one as the little brother on my compound setup truck.

Take some good pics of the manifolds and down pipes. Thats the part that will be the biggest pita. I couldnt find what would think is any good way to build the manifolds and still get the down pipes through.so im excited to see what your guy comes up with. I might have to revisit my setup

Nope AC is staying! custom condenser will be about as tall as the intercooler, but thicker and will have fans (the stock one didnt have a fan?)

Manifolds are being built now, should b e a pretty trick setup, and the down pipe will be 4" back all the way until it splits before the rear.


Cars been gone over a month, I'm excited and anxious believe me...

Keeping the AC? Well that's a bonus! Just make sure the condenser is sufficient or it won't work well
