Some pictures of my car... Its DONE now...
« on: December 09, 2004, 05:45:51 PM »
A while back I had promised to post some pics of my twin turbo project I had been working on. Some of you guys wanted to see the whole project along the way so here are a few pics of my nightmare/dream.

It wasnt a kit that you buy, it was one that I was making. From scratch. All I had to start with was a set of brand new turbos I had aquiered and a little knowledge of how things work with a forced induction motor. The rest I learned along the way and from many sleepless nights of trial and error, reading and asking questions.  

I started out with a 408 ci stroker I had built 6 months ealier and took it from there...

First week... Lots of work to go.





Drivers side turbo. Header some what fabbed up with flange and turbo mounted... All temporary at this point.




Passenger side header... Beginings of fabbrication... Very early beginings.....


Ive got maybe hundreds of pics and even some LATE night early morning videos of me bugging my friends as they work on the car with me but I'll skip over all that stuff... You saw the beginings... Heres what things look like tonight. :)

Front view shot.
Different intake and lots of newer parts... Too much going on here to list it all. Tubos on, new compressor housings... All sorts of goodies to talk about here...


Drivers side Tubro.


Passenger side....


Its all on there and basicly DONE!

So what you see there is probably 6 months in the works. And im proud to say I did it all on my own, but of course with the help of friends. Working on these heaps wouldnt be any fun if you didnt have anyone to work on it with.

Well no car is ever done but this is done for now.

Going to start on 4 link 9 inch rear, mini tubs... Basicly back half the car. Streetability isn't really in the cards anymore. I mean you "can" drive the thing on the street but its pretty foolish to try to drive it for any long distance.

Thats that. Hope  you guys like it.

Ahh, the words of one who hasn't driven a 900hp Supra. :)

I'd rather drive an 800 hp mustang and not have to replace half shafts every time I get done with it at the track. Or worry about one breaking at the line.

This is one argument I've had with Honda drivers and others alike. Sure, they have 600hp, but the effort its taking to make that 600hp they "talk" about goes far beyond what it takes for a V8 to make 800.

And, there is no sweeter sound than a huffed 408 Windsor.

By the time you spool up that "900hp" supra, I'll be gone and done with my 1/4 mile. :)

haha... Well if she wants to pay for her 25 y/o sons  money pit that he put together she can go right ahead. This car wouldnt pass a single emissions test, or a single state vehicle inspection for that matter. So driving it on the street right now is pretty much out of the question. Altho I am going to, it just wont be leagal.

I need to get my hands on a Conneticut state dealer plate.
