Hope to have it running next week.
Yours looks closer then his.... is yours touching??? You might run into a problem if your driving it for a while on the street..... dont see a problem for the track and a big pusher fan. What one you running??

Car is bad *** and your engine bay looks like a cluster ****
The tires are 28" tall, they have a pretty good sidewall for a 18. I want to see how far I can push these things. I think it would be pretty cool to be in the 8's in a street car on 18's.

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.

It's hard to tell from the picture but I have atleast 1.5" space inbetween. I bought a "blanket" from Summit that looks like one of those pre-maid aluminum foil trays stuffed with insulation. It's very cheesy but will have to do the job for the time being.

Here it is with the foil on it, LOL. You can see it has about a 1/2 inch covered.

You should be fine, a good blanket is pricey, like $175 for a T4.

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.

Veee, what pusher are you using? Have you done any extended driving? Any cooling issues?

My fans are dual pusher ebay specials, they were like $14.95 each. I have been in 80* temps, sitting in traffic, the temps creeped up to 200*-210*, but is 170-180* cruising on the highway.

I only live like 20 minutes from love fab. They do some awesome work. Their diesel truck runs damn good at the local track, and some guy has an NSX that he takes to the track that traps 108 in the 1/8 mile that I think Love Fab built.

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.

Wow, I did not realize that NSX was the one from their website. Thing is nuts. I will definitely be seeing them there this summer.

Great job and at Coastal too. Usually to many four wheel drive trucks filled with mud and 22 sec cars running there for any track prep.

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.
