I have like a 1/6th of an inch now to the compressor housing. It actually rubbed a hole in the radiator at first. So I patched it and got a little more clearance. The 47-88 has a huge compressor housing which puts the turbine housing further away then yours. A blanket would be a good idea on yours, and I will eventually put one on mine.

I'm going to try the SLP radiator that I have in there now (think that it's 3 core) and I am running the dual flexalite pusher with the straight blades. The one with the crescent shaped blades costs ALOT more and is rated to move the same amount of air.

Cody at www.lovefab.com built them. He was my neighbor back in Michigan. This was the first V8 he had done, he specializes in Acura NSX kits, but will turbo just about anything.
Just got the car on the lift. Going to install the shocks.

That NSX is Cody's car. Last I checked it was over 920 rwhp. He has gotten rid of that Ford diesel, and picked up an 08 Cummins dodge, that he has already put a twin compound turbo system on. I am sure you will see both of the LoveFab vehicles at Northern Michigan Dragway this summer.

It was a full race weekend, with Pro-Mods and Outlaw 10.5 on Saturday, with some pretty fast cars on Sunday too. The track was well prepped for the most part.

Going to try to get out there Friday for testing if the weather holds out. Otherwise we will be there on Sunday. There is a track rental with grudge racing and test and tune with a well prepped track. My goal is to make it to he 8's on the 18's. We we will see if we can make it on them first before I change tires.
