dr_hunt Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well, I posted two pictures of the mockup in my photo album. There is a full on front shot and one of the exhaust housing where it doesn't clear the stud girdle on the drivers side. I'm going to make spacers to move both turbo's up vertically until the housing clears the valve covers. It clears on the passenger side but only barely, not enough to get the turbo boots on. I'll have to redo the wastegate piping but my pro certified welder came by and he'll do it for free. Weedogie! I got the roller cam and it is ground on an iron core with an iron gear so it'll use the stock dizzy gear, which is good, means lots of street miles with no worries. With .575 lift should be easy on springs. Once I get the turbo's mocked up where they'll fit the engine, then I'll get the engine going, maybe put it in something to try it out, and then start fabbing some exhaust for the z engine compartment.

jbk240z Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 BadA$$! Glad to see progress. The pics are good. It looks like a really nice kit you got. Altough it's going to destroy your rear tires. Anyway, good luck on ur progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Meister Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yes, it looks great. It appears you are making great progress. I'm curious as to the size of the turbos since they look like my Rajays. The tags on the compressor side should identify them. Keep up the good work.

EZ-E Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I think the set up you have there is incredible looking, quite nice indeed. Should make your wallet short in the tire department no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/medium/Copy_of_P9030006.jpg Ok, how's that? The turbo tag says 3aa1bb90b1, ser #0136628, part# 600586-08 Going to fab some spacers to raise the turbo's up to clear the valve covers which will mean having to redo the wastegates into the exhaust. I have to change the cam, and oil pan so I can weld oil drains back to the pan. I have to fab an crankcase evac system into the exhaust, then I have to plumb the whole thing up and see if it in fact works at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest traub83 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Looks pretty sweet!! I am debating selling my blower and going a twin turbo route, just im unsure if I would go carb or one of those throttlebody carb setups that work just like a carb im unsure of the name of it i think TBI but please im not positive. How much power are you looking at getting from that beast!!! makes me wish I had a 5/6 speed in mine rather than the 700r4!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Have a suspicion you might have to massage the shock towers a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
