kavan-k Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Will there be any Engine with that Turbo? Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I think you should put the turbo next to someone's head to get a better perspective That thing is huge Edited January 27, 2015 by 5T4R7ET N/A Quote
Socks Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 ECU is all wired up now. Excited Much! Quote
Socks Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Cheers Chaps... Been too busy to update this!Anyhooo... They've been working on my Inlet/Boost Pipes/Intercooler & Rad... Got some mid-fab snaps here to let you all see... We decided to use the top half of the stock inlet... Its actually pretty optimised due to it needing to be good to extract high amount of power N/A.... We can swap it out at a later date for a complete one if needs be.... The inlet will get painted as a complete item when finished! Stacks... Of Course..... Going in... Part of the body of the plenum built. As you can see, we are making use of the space we have with a center feed design... and finally... Full Size Rad is so much better then a civic one, should cool much nicer! Ontop of that, the way its being incorporated into the front of the car is so clean. Very impressed myself, I must say!No shots of the I/C or Pipework yet, All in Good Time! Well impressed yet again with fab work. Ill be high fiving the guys when I next pop down! Quote
Socks Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Cheers Chaps. Rather chuffed with it myself already!Cant wait to go for a drive! Quote

jiggaman_16 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Cheers Chaps. Rather chuffed with it myself already! Cant wait to go for a drive! so the charge air is gonna flow vertically upward like a turbo IPS manifold.....Sweeeeeeeet. Best ever design for good airflow Quote
RobSR Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Well done in getting a slam panel or the equivalent of back in. Quote
kavan-k Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Is it weird that I really wanna here what this will sound like? Hahaha Quote
Socks Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 yo socks whats the time frame on this baby you MUST !!!!! pop a video when you drive it Hopefully some time next month bud! I will! so the charge air is gonna flow vertically upward like a turbo IPS manifold.....Sweeeeeeeet. Best ever design for good airflow Correct Well done in getting a slam panel or the equivalent of back in. The slam panel is much lower down, thats the light support bar. It didn't have ANY strength anyways.. Is it weird that I really wanna here what this will sound like? Hahaha This is the MOST annoying thing for me, I cant wait to hear what it sounds like if I'm honest! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well. The inlet manifold is almost done. Finishing touches on that today. Im using the stock T-Sport TB. Should be plenty big enough for now! Cold side boost pipe (3") is done. Surprised by the shape. Always a big no no to have a tight 90deg off the TB. Best Flow Anyone?! Intercooler is also done, with new back door end tanks. Although you wont see them with the bumper on! Handy lumps of wood to roughly mock the position of the silly turbocharger. Still gonna be impressive to see how they get all that manifold and downpipe down the back imo! The waste-gate also shocked me. The thing is ridiculously big. Both the positions of the turbo and wastegate should be about right tbh. The screamer will be a bonnet exit affair. Simply no room to get it down the back! Jamie has started the collector and wastegate take off and is eager to progress, he loves it haha Ill keep you all posted! Quote
kavan-k Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 It's going to sound mean as hell! That's my guess anyway! Amazing progress on this those guys work stupidly fast! Quote
