    So my turbo didn't really fit with that manifold... So I cut some of it off. jysama8e.jpgdata9usy.jpge6u5uty7.jpg

    Fuck you and your 5 bolt flange.

    Sorry.

    Anyways, I'm welding a v band flange into it. Not sure if 4" or 3.5". I want the smallest one but the smallest I think I could fit would be 3.3" anyways I'll have to look into how they measure v bands.

    Got the turbo mounted, but my brother is in the garage and it's a little bit too cold out to work on it. So.. This weekend!

      So I acquired a piece of 6061 .500 thick 6" diameter aluminum to use as a surge tank. How much volume do I need?

      I am thinking of mounting the dual 044's inside the tank. I think it would be much cleaner and I've seen it done. FUEL RAIL IS STILL NOT HERE DAMNIT. ytura3uj.jpg%20u5aje6er.jpg

              I've been working there for six months now(today-woohoo I get a raise) and it's honestly amazing. I love doing what I do. It's never the same, and I'm not just doing one job.

              Oh, and having the keys to the place is just a bonus haha. And it's always 72 degrees in there so I have never broken a sweat.

                So Mitch dropped his MS3x off at my place for testing and whatnot, and he had purchased it from someone who built it. Needless to say what I saw was a bit scary, and it doesn't work.... I will let the pictures do the talking.

                  Made by the same guy that welded kaisers old exhaust????

                  This is why I bought pre-built. 

                  I have sausage fingers and would likely end up with something like that.

                          also, I just about finished the design of the surge tank, just not sure how many litres I need. The two pumps will be partially submerged, such as this

                          also, My brother is back, and the m20 is getting worked on!

                            SO. I got fucked on the injectors also, turned out they are 22lb python injectors........ Anyways, Anyone have decently affordable injectors for e85 and 1000whp? If you didn't notice I'm overbuilding my fuel system.

                                  Yea I think I might have to do staged injection for cost purposes. Good injectors that idle well at well into the 1000$ range. I'm thinking I'm just gonna buy the injectors I thought I had (Seimens deka 80lbers) which will be fine for the stock dme for now and e85.

                                      So I made an oil line. You guys will love it. Used 1/4" brake line (3/16" Id which is what my turbo calls for.) and a couple adapters. Also. My charge piping consists of a 90* bend and 16" straight. I enjoy throttle response :)

                                          Anyone have good ideas on about 1" ID radiator hose? Or aluminum hard line.
