All of these turbo projects coming out of the wood work, lately, I figured WHY NOT?!!
Every piece was custom fabricated except for obvious parts. I used a Mustang lower intake manifold (not impressed by them, but they aren't the worst) and built an upper out of some 5" aluminum square tubing. We built some shorty front-exit headers which worked out smoothly. The hot-side will flow well enough to support more HP than I can make with it.
Every part was looked at closely while putting it together. I'm surprised that the .96 A/R I'm using spools by 3200 RPM. It was a couple of hundred RPM lower than what I had calculated it to be.
I'm battling under-hood temperatures right now. With the blower, I ran it at 150*F constantly, but by the time I played around and got home, it was around 200*F. I doubt the stock fan is actually the difference there.
Here are some finished pics. Click on the link to see more pictures of the fabrication. http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa258/CMac455/Turbo Project/
