Compound Turbo Setup Holset style

[viperlp01]

-The T5 is like impossible to find so I just rough cut a t4 one with my plasma cutter. Don't worry I already have thought about and what I am going to do to fix it. The turbo is going to have to have some crazy bracing to keep it solid out there.

-Mitsu kick-down band

-I did some research on turbo angle and its around 20 degrees of angle before the cartridge has an issue evacuating the oil from the center section. I am much less than that and I have seen people run crazy angles on the turbo.

Looks pretty sweet so far. Keep it up!!!

Good looking pie cuts, John. Your build is coming along very nicely.

Though, if you ever need tight bends down the road and don't want to spend as much time welding, pick up a Pro-Werks donut.

Still plan to build a rear subframe for it?

-Sinister speed torque converter(waited to order to see what guys think. They are now working on a customer stator to help with the "loose"ness of the
TC. Once that is sorted out I am having one on the way)

Did Sinister give you a timeline for the new stator ?
Looking good on the build

 

[viperlp01]

-Nope on the stator. I will have them keep me updated though an hopefully get one of the first ones. If it takes to long(which I know it won't) I will run the stock converter until it comes in.

-Thanks Paul. I will PM or Call you about the rear subframe. I want mine light. So we will talk about it.

Looks like I will have time tonight to get the wastegates figured out. This weekend I am going to try to work on the solid motor mounts. More updates to come.

Yeah, give me a shout. I'll have mine completely done if a couple days, so I could bring it by the shop if you want to check it out and maybe test fit it.

 

[viperlp01]

Ya dude that would be boss. My driveshaft is out. No e brake. Should be easy to test fit.

Cool, I just wanted to make sure you knew there was a spec on it if you didn't already so that anyheadaches down the road could be averted now

I can't wait tosee some results, and although dyno videos are cool, i'm REALLY looking forward to seeing a launch and or at least a 1-2 pull with the tires roasting

nice what made you go with two 60mm wastegates instead of one 60mm and one 44mm?

Awsome build man, thanxs for sharing. i did not even know the the Eclipse came with Automatic gearbox.

regards kristian

 

[viperlp01]

I got a deal on them that I couldn't resist. I might sell one and get a 44mm for space. I hope this engine will hold it. Simple Eagle/Manley setup. I might build an engine on the side. The torque is what I am worried about.

 

[viperlp01]

Messed with my wastegate tonight. I used Paul's old spaghetti trick but I used some extra filler rod instead. Here is some pics

On my jig

The long process of stacking the rod

Plasma cut

cleaned up alittle

I have to get Argon tomorrow. I ran out today on this Subaru stuff. So I will work on it tomorrow.

Welding place was closed so I made the best of the weekend. My brother is starting to get into powder coating so I gave him one of my compressor covers, a camera, told him Red and he came out with this.

Then I decided to dig into my harness. I had a ton of connectors that I no longer use and it was a mess.

 

[viperlp01]

Got the hot parts finished up to both turbos. Ordered my stuff for the exhaust. Here is a simple pic from this morning.

Looks Great!!!!

Makes me think of going with one 60mm gate instead of two 44mm's on my secondary????

 

[Kevin Jewer]

Looks good!

 

[fosforito95]

thats awesome i want to see more pics of this

 

[danielsl1999gsx]

Insane!! Please do a in car audio spool up for all to hear. Hearing one holset is good enough, but two back to back! Music to my ears.

 

[viperlp01]

The 60mms are VERY hard to fit. I hopefully will be able to close my hood. I have to cut into the bottom of the hood to try to fit the 2nd Tial. I will have more updates this weekend.

We do have 1 60mm Tial for sale pm us if needed.

 

[FLASH1970]

That looks really sweet!!

 

[viperlp01]

Damn photobucket... Ill get that fixed ..

 

[99gst_racer]

Time to upgrade to Pro. I had to do the same thing when I was trying to sell my compound setup.

 

[viperlp01]

Well started on the 3.5" exhaust. I was happy with how much room I had. Hopefully will have the cross pipe figured out by tomorrow night.

I am also pretty sure I have to remake the front. I made that a while ago and only had a flux core welder back then(wow now that I think about it). It would be much easier to mount my FMIC, rad, and trans cooler.

 

[fosforito95]

in the second pic its hard to see but where is the second wastegate mounted to? the one that seems like your going to connect to your down pipe?
