Here are some pics of my car with the turbo system installed.

fwiw, the ghetto silicone induction(s) will soon be replaced by hard pipe.

sweet deal man! Have any engine work done to it to get those numbers? How much boost you running?

As allways, Awesome job Jim.

 

Very nice work Jim. How many hours do you think you have in that now? Just curious.

 

nah...its bone stock silly! j/k its an awesome setup for sure!

 

Jim, I would put a screen behind the intercoolers. Rocks over time will close the fins off, and airflow through the IC it self will slow.

Very nice work What gates are those?

 

That's an impressive set-up! Congrats!

 

Great setup! Love the sig... "Twin GT61's, Air Conditioning"

 

AND THE TWINS............ Looking good there Jim .

 

Looking pimp

 

Um..WOW! thats wicked man

 

swing.

what size downpipes are those?
those 2 IC's look small. i thought you werer going to use one big one.

 

What a sleeper. No pod gauges even. I'll bet you've really suprised a few people. A big "Hell Yea" to keeping the A.C.

 

nice work.. you should put a little thong on it.

 

Speechless....................................

 

Very nice work!!! Is that just the normal jet-hot coating? both inside and out? Reason I ask is I am debating what to use.

he he.... yes yes.. do it!

 

Looks fantastic!


Have you considered using a louvered AL panel behind your intercoolers (wheel side)? If you keep it about a 1/4 off the back and face the louvers downward it would work pretty well at protecting the heat exchanger and allowing adequete flow.

A screen with a tight enough weave to stop small stones will be fairly restrictive.

 

Thanks everyone


For those who asked, I don't really keep track of how much time or money I have invested into the car. I really don't want to know.


The downpipes are 3inch. I had planned to run 2 intercoolers to get better airflow to the condensor/radiator and also so I could reinstall the bumper support. The cores on each intercooler are 15x6 and 4.2 thick. Definitely marginal for what I'm trying to do, but everything is a compromise.

I'm not all that worried about damage to the cores considering they're in front of the tires, but I guess time will tell.

The coating was done locally by LoKo, and other than the headers dulling a bit, everything is holding up nicely so far. The headers are coated flat black on the inside.

 

how bout a little video action.

great work, very clean install, you should get into showing that car, unless you are looking to stay "low key"

 

I like his location , Nice setup
