Heres where Im at, Hopefully tomorrow I will have the downpipe ran
Im going with a 3 inch cat and dynomax superturbo muffler... what dimensions fit back there? Any suggestions?

 

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

ahhh the memories. Looking good. Have you test fitted the reverse y-pipe yet? How close is the feed pipe to the tranny?

How is the turbo mounted in the engine bay?....kinda looks like your using the same battery tray bolt hole that I used.

keep us updated.

 

What's the A/R on that? Was it you who posted pics of the 60-1 a couple weeks back?

 

Looking good! Are you putting the pipes together yourself?

 

BTW that's a nice garage setup there. Is that a shop or someone's house?

 

i like them. where are you located at?

 

Yea, Im making the whole thing myself, the actual y section is warpspeeds chopped at the collector, and Ive just been measuring and welding bends onto it from summit. The turbo is mounted just with some scrap metal I had laying around, but I bought angle iron and im going to use that to make a bracket that I can disconnect from if ever needed.
There is decent clearence fromt he tranny, probably 1/2-1 inches under it where the flex pipe is and 2 inched on the side.
The place is actually my school... Wyotech, Im going their for automotive technology and now im in my elective class of Chassis Fabrication and High Performance engine. My project to graduate is turbocharging the max. I also just got done making tube frame rails for a 1932 ford roadster.

its a .50 compressor and .63 exhaust

 

that'll give a quick spool then.

 

no the 60-1 is me im starting putting the thing together in about 2-3 weeks waiting on some pipes.

 

Great job!! You dont need a flex section there is on your down pipe that you will need that flex section.

 

that .63 AR compressor is going to choke up top. Too small!! .7? or .81 would have been better. You will spool up faster on low end.

 

yeah unless your also running a diff ecu and a mevi, your gonna choke out pretty bad top end

 

i know its a little small, but i picked it up cheap with plans to get a new one as soon as i get money.... it will work for now.

 

Oh snaps!!!! Lookin good. That has to be a tough final, turboing your own car.

 

are you planing on using an intercooler

 

is that a t3/t4 or a t04. what wheel is in it also.

 

its definitly a T3 turbine housing

 

I dunno, it says t3/t4 and t04e on the badge....
its a 57 trim

 

Nice, it is my car turbocharged. I like it.

 

lookin good, im hoping to start work on a custom kit by the end of the summer after i get all the bugs worked out and all my questions answered. just put the mevi in in preparation although i havent wired it yet. im waiting on ash to finish that new ecu setup for the 4th gen max, if its anything like the 300zx ones it should be a killer set up. ive got a couple of questions while you guys are on turbos. considering the mevi and hopefully a raised rev limit should i be looking at a turbo with both turbine and compressor sides larger than .63 so it doesnt die in the top end, or should just the compresser side be larger (ive never quite figured out what effects what yet although im still researching). Any opinions would help. Thanks.

 

Yeah that's a pretty small A/R especially on a T3, but as long as you are planning on upgrading it soon it will not be that bad to start out I guess. But yeah Jaime and others are right, you are going to choke up top really really bad with that. Will still be faster than without the turbo though

 

Heres some more

 

thats gonna be a pretty sick setup man. good luck, hope you wish me the same seeing as that i will be starting on mine as soon as im done with school for mercedes.
