Custom turbo setup
Custom turbo setup Well, thinking of finishing up my turbo build myself to save cost. Need some ideas on cost of materials.
I was thinking mild steel for the cross over and downpipe and aluminum for the cold side.
Anyone have an idea on general cost to finish the plumbing? I was going to do 3in cross over pipes, 5in DP stepped to a 4in. going to go out the passenger side through a regular BMR tubular k-member.
I “think” I’ve seen a 4in DP fit there. I really don’t want to dump the cash to get the BMR Turbo K-member.
Here’s a few pics of the room I have to work with. I left the radiator hoses long so I have plenty of room to move them around to fit any which way I need. I think I’m still going to need another 1.5 inches of clearance in front of the crank, so I might have to cut the lower radiator support, drop the radiator an inch and move it forward. This would eliminate my hood latch though so I’d have to convert over to hood pins or zeus’s….
