Compound Turbo Setup Holset style

[viperlp01]

Got our bender in at the shop and started the cage

And might as well post why the updates are slow. I have been working on this RSX. He wanted everything custom on this thing.

On my first one, I fed the 16G from the head and the 60-1 from the OFH. I'll probably do the same thing this time around as well. But I think John is T'ing both of his off the OFH. And yes, two separate drains to the pan.

when you T the oil feed off will there be enough oil feeding both turbos?

Did you trim down the Turbine housing outlet of the HX-52 to make your downpipe?

When we did my build with my HX52 we did. We just chucked the housing in a lathe and turned it down.

Yeah, I saw you said that in a different thread. I have a standard 4" vband for mine, but I just found these online: V-Band Clamps & Sealing Flanges
It looks like they will match up to that 4.7 inch OD on the turbo flange.

I cut the old flange off on a chop saw. It worked out pretty well and then I decked it flat on a belt sander. More cage pics to come by the end of the day.

Also the turbos should get plenty of oil. Take a garden hose for example. The garden hose attachments that have a Y at the spicket. Hook 2 hoses up to it and there is still plenty of flow. Pressure is going to be constant at each turbo.

Cage is getting close.

Need to finish welding the very front bars to the plates, weld in the harness bar/ subframe bars, door bars, and swing outs.

Waiting for video of a test pull.

Cell phone pics until I buy some damn batteries for my camera. Getting closer every night.

Is the cage cro-mo or mild steel?

 

[viperlp01]

Chromoly all Tig'd together.

No bend in the door bar afterall? Man, that thing looks low. That passes above your elbow?

 

[viperlp01]

Ya it passes the elbow. My seat has to be way lower than factory to fit my head in the car .. The door bar on the passenger side is much higher.

 

[viperlp01]

Well got the harnesses back in the car along with the dash. Installed the B&M today. Here are some pics

What's your ETA for getting her over to US131? I can't wait to get to the track this year to see how your car and Tyler's car does.

 

[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.

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.
