Finally new turbo setup and back on the road!

[Jables]

Well after a few weeks of planning and ordering parts finally got the car up on jackstands and pulled apart. Had to replace a transmission at the same time as well due to 3rd and 4th gear grinding. Decided the Q-Trim T66 was just a bit to laggy. We decided to move to something a little more sorted for daily drivability and a little more fun on the street. So we went with a custom 60-1 from Supernatural Turbo which is a 60mm compressor wheel matched with a P-Trim turbine wheel in a GT35 compressor cover. I must say very pleased with its performance. Since we made this change had to build a new downpipe and intercooler piping and while we were in there decided to come up with something nice for a power steering resevoir since the stock one was a little broken. All in all i think it turned out nice. Now on to pics.

Sorry for the camera phone pics but thats all i had.. Will try and work out some better ones here shortly..

"supernatural" turbo huh? something out of a sci fi movie.

nice fab work. downpipe looks clean!

[Jables]

Yeah kinda like something out of a sci fi movie.. The guys over there do a great job. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Yeah the fab work turned out really nice. Not bad for 16 hours worth of work..

The power steering resevoir looks really nice!

[Jables]

Yeah that really did end up nice. Now it looks good and its out of the way. Much better then stock!

Instead of starting some lengthy build thread i figured it was time to just add to this. Shortly after said upgrade above we lost oil pressure and the motor. So its been sitting for quite a few months waiting for us to decide what to do. Well the plan is finally in place and things are slowly coming along. Dropped the car off saturday and started getting to work on it. The paint wasn't that great to begin with so we figured it was time for some changes.

On to the pics:



Got to work quick on paint while pulling the motor.




Showed up sunday and this is what it looked like











Finished pulling the engine and brought it back home for tear down and clean up. Then on to a build.







I'll keep this updated a little bit here and there as we start making some more progress. Got tons of parts ordered and in route.. Now its just hurry up and wait time!!!

DID YOU BUY THIS CAR FROM A GUY IN NC? AD WILL U SELL UR OTHER TURBO?

[Jables]

No it was purchased from an individual in Atlanta. However the car has been in NC and thats where we are from. The other turbo that was on this car may still be around here somewhere. I'll have to look.. You are welcome to PM me if you are that interested.

I got your PM but i don't think you have the settings correct in your account to receive from other members.


Updates will be coming soon. Got a huge week ahead of tearing down the engine and seeing what the major issue was. Then bolt on all the aftermarket goodies!!!!

[74260zt]

Looking good! What exh manifold is that? I have a sTec I was thinking on using but the w/g dump is facing rearward. I need to mod mine to look just like your dump pipes...

I was thinking the same thing when looking at his manifold. I ordered a Stec but hasnt arrived yet.

[Dano]

That looks sick, love the color choice on the valve cover! Your downpipe looks great too!

Yes it is...

Actually not sure which brand it is.. It will be tossed into the pile of not using stuff here shortly!! Along with a few other things..

Valve cover color choice will change and be paint matched to the car along with the wheels....



Thanks... Thats just another great product from SUPERNATURALTURBO. Couldn't have done most of this product without them!!!

[meet07]

Is that reducer on that custom downpipe placed after the turbo or before the cat??? Im looking for a 4-3 reducer and im really not sure if I even have room since I dont have the manifold yet..

[Jables]

That reducer is before the cat.

[rbzenki]

looking good. im diggin the wheels

thanks man! the spokes of the wheel will actually be painted black this time around the gold just wasn't the look i wanted for the finished car

HEY MAN YOUR THE GUY THAT GOT MY OLD CAR REMEMBER ME?

[robbie2883]

looks like some grade A work man. but one question. i assume that is meth injection. why is it before the intercooler? you pretty make the IC useless by cooling the charge before it enters the IC. typically you want to let the IC do it's job then cool it even more with the meth/water injection

[Jables]

Sorry for the delay in replying. I think you are seeing the boost controller lines. Im using a push lock system for all lines with the manual boost controller!!

[wanganwarrior]

That guy in the background made out with another guy

[R32ONP]

hahaha lol thats so random...but big ups to that custom resevoir looks sick..i also had the same rims (minus the oil lip) and i think black spokes would look killer!!!!

[Jables]

WTF MIKE!!!!

[wanganwarrior]

LOL so when is it coming back from paint?

[Jables]

2 more weeks and everything should be finished with the paint guy. He's also installing new quarter glass and having them retinted. But soon enough i guess..
