Holy crap man, that is a SERIOUS project you've got going on.

Good luck with everything; by the looks on page 5 with the nose on, your car is going to look badass with the intercooler showing.

 

im gonna get a billet grill and paint it black to hide it

 

I like the turbo location's.
Also you dont look like a car guy

 

I think I'll just call you BIG DADDY! Looks good in the neighborhood, boss!

 

haha thats a picture of my freind, who is just as much of a car nut as me...hes got a 70 corvette, a bmw 325i thats getting a ls1/6 speed swap...ill keep yall updated on the car...plan for today is to get the acc. mounted and downpipes run

 

looking good man

If you don't mind me asking, how much $$$$ do you think you've spend on the the turbo related stuff? Not including fuel system or motor build?

 

lets see...it actually hasnt cost me anythign out of pocket, parting my old motor has paid for just about everything to this point, but heres where im at,

header tubing $240
turbos $600 a piece
intercooler $195
metal $100
header flanges $80
BOV $120
exhaust tubing $150ish
silicone couplers and clamps $100

brings it to $2185 ...add to that $540 for two wastegates that i havnt bought yet...then my turbo kit will come to a total of $2725 ...not too bad huh?

 

That's cool as **** man.. You save a **** load of money, and get the respect of buildnig it yourself. I am going to start on my single setup this winter.

 

sweet man...good luck this winter on your project, let me know if you need any tips or anything...and ignore all the people who say it can not be done, or you dont have the experience to do it, cause i just turned 20, and i started workin on cars only 3 years ago, and honestly, i think its one of the better turbo projects out there, thanks for the compliments

 

God damn dude... what kind of bottom end are you using to hold all this power?

 

That things looks PISSED with the intercooler showing and the SS hood Good luck with the rest of the project.

 

eagle 4340 forged crank, eagle forged h beam rods, and srp pistons...all this stuff is rated around 700hp, but people on this board have taken it far beyond that...

 

Wow that thing looks freaking mean. Almost looks like it has teeth.
