i love seeing threads like these, i think all off the fabrication that it takes to build the turbose is art work

Nice build. As mentioned before you really should support that turbo somehow. Off of the engine preferably since there are no flex joints in your hotside piping. It would suck for any of that stainless to crack.

Great fab work!! I too moved the radiator to the very front just for run for my turbo set-up. I can now have a good idea of how it is going to look and its a silver Fd like mines too.

Very nice work! What happened to the plan to use equal length manifolds? No room?

yup no room to do such a thing and its really not worth while as gains are minimal at best. Power will not be an issue at all. hahah

That shit is weaksauce. If your goal was to go fast, you should have swapped in a rotary and made some real power.

Also, your welder is a piece of shit, Lincoln is where it is at. Any true fabricator would know that. Borg Warner sucks too. Yep, you're just full of fail all around.

Nice set up. Strange I seem to know a lot of people from ohio with either a LSX or LTX powered RX7, must be the thing to do in ohio

hahah like me!

I am on both sides of the fence. I have one of each (or will have when complete!)

I still like my BP turbo 13b car. it runs well. I'm sure I will change my tune when the LSx car is complete!


Good job on your progress!

Very nice build man. When I turbo mine I guarantee it will be nowhere near this quality
