i used a dead blow hammer to move the AC lines on the truck i just did haha
just bumped them toward the fender liner
i would love to try one of your alternator brackets spaced out on my fairmont to truck accessory distance,

We have them for sale if you need one, just give us a call or email on3performance@aol.com
On our kit the line just needs tweaked a tiny bit. I use a small 2x4 block and set on the line and just gently tap. As you know they bend easily you just have to know to be careful and not go too far

I honestly dont know if I will even get my truck on the dyno. It has 225,000 miles and I have no intentions of loosing the transmission right now. Its on very low boost and I just have fun with it the way it sits.
As far as experience, I have the only kit, our production is not finished and nothings been shipped to this point. We have pre-orders piling up, it wont take long once they are shipping.
Its a daily driver for me, fun truck, and a lot of people are going to have a blast with the system. Granted this was on an f-body car, this shows the potential for power. This is one of the highest graphs we have seen with the On3 76mm turbo.

I have a lot of people asking me for better photos of the manifold. Today I got in our 78mm prototype turbo and decided to throw it on the truck to get some mileage on it. Since it was apart, I shot a few more photos to hopefully this will help clear up any questions people might have.
Also people have asked about heater line clearance, as you can also see I have made some custom stainless hard lines to clear all the hot parts without having to worry about melting a line

So are the two banks completely separated right up to the turbo?
Seems you could get more accurate O2 readings this way compared to some of the other crossovers into log designs...

It does look like the driver's bank is seperate all the way to the turbo flange based on the pictures of the manifold in the first post and these most recent pics. Very nice. Plug access is going to blow, but that can be dealt with. Another option for the heater hoses might be to purchase longer lines and run them under the turbo discharge pipe and over the passenger side inner fender and behind the AC accumulator.
How much tweaking is needed for the 78-88mm turbos? Still would like to see this with a BorgWarner S480...

Thats correct, we have 3 as of now that are unspoken for. As for the new body, Im not positive on fitment we need to test that. We have just tested 99-06 right now

I have 1 or 2 already sold which guys have said they will test and no matter what use and make it work. So I cant really discount it but thanks for the offer.

Reading in the other thread and seen that new 78mm has a 75mm turbine? Is that exducer or inducer?
Also what ever happened with the 88mm really interested to see how that one runs and costs.

The 78 has a 75mm exducer on the exhaust side. We still have 1 88mm here as of right now. I would guess we might have a 6 week back order till we see more of those. Retail is $849

Why anyone would buy an unproven system before the manufacturing process is complete with no proven/repeated results and pictures of "custom" water lines and the like just appearing is beyond my grasp? This is crazy. You guys are either the most trusted company on earth or people are just silly with money. I wish you the best but I'll be waiting until actual results have been posted before I even consider buying this.

I have designed a lot of turbo systems, Im aware of what it takes and this is not my first rodeo. Whats the problem with the custom coolant lines? We sell a ton of ls 4th and 5th gen systems daily. This is no different, its the same engine platform with a new design.
