Its not a chute lever I just modified it to work as one I'll have to see if I can dig up the brand, but its not a bolt in there is a bit of fabrication to be done.
So to fit the new Diff and mate it to my DSS drive shaft had to machine a new adapter flange which proved to be a lot of work :( But I think it turned out great!
The only real reason for the backup pass is to make sure timing etc was spot on, I've seen a lot of funky timeslips but most guys racing know when something wasn't right. A lot of turbo cars have problems with the wastegates and exhaust messing with the beams and the car tripping the lights...
Its pretty well standard in racing that any "record" you have to back it up with in say .025 just to eliminate timing errors etc that sometimes happen!
Thanks I know I shouldn't be waisting time doing stuff like this because I need to get the car back together but now atleast the whole chute system is complete :) :hellyeah: I need to get some more fab work and wiring done next days off and then I should be getting real close!:hellyeah:
Was looking at the chute lever that came with my chute and decided to change it up alittle :)Think this one looks a lot nicer :)Then while I was at it thought I might as well make a new detachable chute mount and light weight chute holder
Someone show me another 3200+lb DSM that with a slipping clutch or any clutch for that matter that has run 160Mph at only 35psi and then we can talk :D Spool and boost recovery have been amazing with comp turbo's and not to mention I don't run nitrous or any spool up aids!Yes thanks I...
Yeah I'm just basing my experiences but if you look at my old setup compared to anyone running say a GT4202 my Comp put them to shame and has always spooled up very fast and I have never had one issue with there turbos period! :hellyeah: Thanks its a work in progress but I'm hoping the end is...
Been running them and ITS for almost 8 years and went 160Mph in this car when it was 3250lbs with only 35psi and no nitrous so I'm pretty confident! :hellyeah:No thats why this is a build thread :D
Thanks its 304 S/S and thanks no sharp bend at all! Not sure about the 2 Step comment the guy who helped me weld it made the same manifold for his 2800hp TT Cuda and has never hurt it. Well it work only time well tell and this car will never be road raced etc just street driven and 1/4 :)
Manifold shouldn't crack the turbo is being supported and not being suppport by the manifold at all. I bumped it the same as several twin turbo V8 Guys I know bumped theres with no problems :pray:My garage is my shop and it was back purged:thumb:
Starting to make some progress its almost back to looking like its almost a car stage again! {thumbup} A ton of work left but def helps the motifation when you start looking at something more then a chassis!
Got the lower intake piping welded out and the Wiggin's style clamp on and wow are these things the cats ass, positive lock, quick disconnect :) {thumbup}
Got bored doing wiring so finished up some fab work on the weekend. Big thanks to Kris for helping me with some of the more difficult alumiunum stuff{thumbup} Pretty proud of myself I cut apart my old Moroso oil pan that was damaged and cut the sump etc out of it and made my own dry sump pan...
So got some more progress done on the car! ETS 6"core is now mounted and ready to go, got the turbo to intercooler piping done, and the dry sump Tank mounted! Big thanks to ETS and Comp Turbo that billet turbo looks like its ready to do some serious damage!
No differrent then your return line fitting on your turbo is even closer to the exhaust housing then these are I'm sure they will be fine and I will probably heat shield them for extra insurance!
I'm aware of that and it will be fine :) I have been spooling large 70+mm turbos for years and making some of the highest HP per lb of boost out there this isn't my first rodeo
