Thanks for the heads up!
I'm sort of committed to the location at this point though.
Since there are no wheelwells on the car, I could not find anywhere else that had enough room to mount that HUGE regulator.
I won't be doing any NHRA sanctioned racing in the near future.
Mostly street driving at first, then some shake downs out at Byron.
Hopefully, the tech guys out at the "Playground of power" are more relaxed than the NHRA boys.

You can mount it to the firewall if you have a 6" spacer

Thanks for the info guys!
I just checked the rulebook on this and I did not see a reference to using a spacer, but that is a possibility.
I'm sure the rule applies for all cars, but the safety concern would only be an issue on an open header car or someone not running an ultrabell in my opinion.
Lots to learn.....

Back from the dead again !

Well, the beast is ALIVE !!!
I need to have the tune dialed in before making a test drive, but aside from finishing up a few odds and ends, it will be on the road soon.
It sounds great, and I can't wait to get it on the road FINALLY !
I've been dreaming of molten drag radials for weeks now !

Thanks guys!
I need to throw in some new plugs tonight and pull some fuel out of the tune.
I am just learning HP Tuners, but I have a good base 3bar tune from Jim at Speed to get me headed in the right direction.
I will get it on the road this season and maybe a shakedown track day if the weather holds.

It should be a fun ride for sure.

It is a T4 housing size unit.

We have them in T3 and T4. I would definitely advise T4's though. The T3's are a waste.....exhaust side is way to small.

Dose the S366 T4 and T3 share the same turbine?
Garrett’s stage 5 turbine can be put in a T3 or T4 housing and the “P” trim can be put in a T3 or T4
as well.


DR Turbo could tell us how the S366 turbine compares
to let’s say a “P” trim? Do they have different size turbines that can mixed between the T3 and T4 housings?

Yes they share the same turbine wheels. Also they do have counterparts to the Garrett "p" and "S" trim turbines. They can be built on T3 and T4's as well.

Correct...their is a turbine wheel in between. The others are the same basic size as the p and S

That looks really nice finally finished. I like the way you mounted the boost controller out of the way.
