World's fastest Ebay Kit!
 
Actually I completely modified an original PTK kit as shown below to utilize a PT101 and 5" downpipe with 4" charge pipes to an interior mounted PT3000

The headers, and two crossover pipes are just as they came from PTK however (same as the Ebay kit but steel instead of stainless) The merge collector I removed the 38MM wastegate pipe from and mounted a 2 1/2 " stainless 90 to a Tial 60 and I removed and cut back the T4 flange and mounted a 3 1/2" stainless 90 to a T6 flange for the 101, The dowpipe is Home made 5" mandrel bent Stainless and the Charge pipes are home made from 4" aluminum mandrel bends.

This took 4 days of work and $900 in materials between silicone, clamps, and tubes.

However this turbo kit will support 1500 rwhp Im guessing.

sorry fellas fixed the pics.

That looks great. The only problem I see is the exhaust dumping and aiming to the front tire. That can cause for a bad day if that tire overheats and blow out.
Congrat's on the build , you did a great job!

z28boysteve Mar 19, 2010 10:00 PM

Well I figure I hope I dont see more than 8 seconds of full throttle at a time ever ;-) and it will be drag only this time around so hopefully the tire thing will be cool, I've done it before and was okay.

This whole build I started on tuesday when my pipes showed up and tada! lol.

If the seal on that turbo lets go, that front tire will get oiled down. At 160+ MPH, that's not a good thing.

Looks great otherwise.

You should point it towards the back for "Turbo Boost!!!".Shit it worked for Knight Rider.

Really though it jus looks like potential problem.lm gonna go out on a limb and say last time you ran it like the car was not on the same level of hp.

Are you suggesting a rear mount? LOTS of the frontmount cars have a turbo mounted on the side of an engine bay.......same with twins!

I think they are talking about the turbo seal going out & oiling down the front tire through the DP.

I'm with the rest of the crew, looks great, but DP placement could be better. Good reason to run it through your front fender.

Exactly.

Definetly nothing wrong with a front mount. I have one and it runs GOOD!

nice work that's awesome

Shawn @ VA Speed Mar 20, 2010 08:39 PM

maybe i didn't see it,what does the turbo mount to other than the piping?

and i agree 1000%,down pipe should not point at the tire,should exit the car far enough that any fluid would be out past the tire track

craig382ci Mar 21, 2010 12:21 AM

Where did you get the 5" pipe for the dp?

z28boysteve Mar 21, 2010 09:09 AM

Oh I didn't think the oil thing through :(
maybe I'll revise the downpipe later

I bought the stainless all from stainless
works I cost me 300 and I still got 3 foot of straight left over !

very nice setup mate! should make the power you are after! :)

98Camarod Mar 23, 2010 07:12 AM

Potentially the fastest.....mine drives right now :)

I thought about doing something like this, but I didn't like the idea that the turbo wouldn't have an air filter. I suppose you could have put in more in the center to allow for it. I think I'll just be doing the truck manifolds though.

Lmfao!!!!

Beaflag VonRathburg Mar 24, 2010 02:18 AM

Want to pass any details along about the engine powering it?

z28boysteve Mar 24, 2010 04:40 PM

402 lq9 with the dreaded ls3 heads (until I get masts and o-ringing and semi block fill) gmhp single plane and Wilson elbow with 105 mm ford tb just simple stuff for now to get the job done all forged with diamonds and 8.3:1
