Drag Race Build: Compound Turbo Setup Holset style

[viperlp01]

I would be crushed if I don't get her done by the end of the month. My home town cruise is June 30th so that's my own deadline. Its starting to get exciting seeing it come together. I heard Tyler's car is coming along well.

Any updates?

[viperlp01]

Lots of updates will be coming at weeks end.

[viperlp01]

Here is a start of the engine bay rework.

[viperlp01]

New treadstone intercooler came in. 4.5" thick, 10.5" tall, and 30" overall length. My brother has been powder coating the crap out of the bay. Its starting to clean up decently.

[viperlp01]

Got the rear end in along with axles, driveshaft, and tcase. I also got the radiator to fit. Finishing up some wiring tonight along with the FMIC routing. Hoosier QTPs are ordered and 16x7 RPF1s will hopefully show up next week.

Interesting radiator setup. . .

[spyderdrifter]

Beastly.... never actually seen a compound setup on a DSM before. I know others have done it, but never saw good enough pics, or just didn't see pics period. Great job. Can't wait to see the final outcome.

It won't fit anywhere else unfortunately.

This build is amazing and inspiring, cant wait to watch a video

[turboglenn]

Glad to seetis still coming along! NOt to mention it's looking great at the same time!

Something tells me there's gonna be a lot of driveline parts being broken and upgraded once this thing hits tarmac!! I imagine the horse-power and torque are gonna be insane!

[viperlp01]

Haha I hope not. If they break I guess they will be upgraded. Hopefully the auto keeps everything together. Kind of getting tired of working till midnight every night but its all worth it in the end. Finished wiring up the Kiggly manumatic mod today and I am going to work on the seat mounts. Ordering Tial springs tomorrow along with some randoms to be put on to finish up the sensor wiring. Battery mount and catch can set up will be this weekend and hopefully fire her up on Monday(My techs want to be here when she fires.)

This is getting exciting! Everything is looking great! The big red Volvo Holset out front looks hungry... I can't wait till its time to eat...

[viperlp01]

Charge piping is complete and I also got my ratchet shifter hooked up to the trans.

[viperlp01]

Drove the car out of the shop today! Some adjustment to the ratchet shifter and maybe a oil restrictor on the turbo feed but it might be from sitting so long and the little bit of oil I added to the cylinders.

[Purple_Demon]

Looks good!

I cant wait for some videos and ripper shots XD

[viperlp01]

Finally made the exhaust and finished the vacuum routing. Working on getting the car looking like a car again.

[godschylde777]

Aaaaawwwwwwwsommmeee!!!

[99gst_racer]

That exhaust system looks dope!

[GRAVEDIGGER]

That exhaust is going to be talkin some serious s*%#!

[viperlp01]

While backing the car out of the shop I did a little 2 step to see how she likes the compounds. Built 10 psi stupid fast. Compounds are going to be nuts.

[pinder91]

Awesome stuff, John! Gotta get my butt over to the shop and see this thing.

[Blurred Talon]

Looks awesome!

[Superman]

That is a killer turbo system. Great build.

[rrussell]

Looks Awesome!!! Very nice progress!!!

[GDNF2ET]

I'm excited to see it building boost and launching..Great work ..I wonder if one day it will be the norm ?

[viperlp01]

I am also excited. I had a set back with a shift solenoid issue and some wiring to fix up but more updates to come.

[dacowgod]

This thing is going to be intense!!... I didn't realize how many compound setups were floating around these days... I have one up my sleeve on my new project..My plan is also single digit, but to have 20 psi before 2000 rpm and a powerband that is incredibly wide... Mine will debut next spring likely still waiting on parts for the short block ;-) and the transmission work.... pretty much everything else is all ready to go... My intention is to have run 9's and still have airconditioning

Yours should be in the 8's with that setup Kudos

[RipperXX]

Sick mean nasty car you got there. Please post a video once you take it down the 1320.

[viperlp01]

Got the trans almost working properly. The ratchet shifter misses 2nd gear on up shifts and hits it on downshifts . But so far so good.
