More turbo players...
#16
Yes, I was feeling rushed the day I fabricared all of that....it is on the to do list.
Since the soft underbelly has been exposed, I will comment. Air leaves the stock airbox and flows out the left side under the plenum (aka spider) and through the MAF on the draw through or suction side of the system, this is the best place for an MAF, on draw through as placed on all new cars. It then splits through a fiberglass splitter and is routed to each bank. The drivers side turbo feed pipe goes right through the stock hole in the timing belt covers....that pipe is wicked and took me three hours to make! It is shaped like a corkscrew and is all rigid pipe bends. The air then leaves each turbo and is routed under the car and through the custom intercooler. I opted for the flow this way because it maximizes the internal flow area and most of your heat transfer is in the first 6 to 8" of the core anyway, plus it requires less cutting of the car.
Those in-taks to the core have 3-way splitters to force the air across the entire core. The air then leaves the intercooler up top and is routed back under the radiator and up to the top side where it passes under the plenum, and back into the stock throttle body (don't ask how it is held in place...it is a secret).
So from the top side, the tube on the left is intake and the tube on the right is boosted air. Who ever would have thought you could flow 400+ HP through 2.25" diameter pipe anyway? I have heard it is possible to flow over 600 Hp through just a 1.75" pipe. pAV=m....it all works out in the end.
I am planning on taking thetwo pipes under the car up at least 1.5" from their current locations. I'd better get the engine back in it first though. I might take some pictures of everything while it is out on the stand, but I am reluctant to just post these, as it lets all of the cats out of the bag if you know what I mean. Anybody who wants to sweat it out working under the car is welcome to the information....takers??

Can anyone identify where the above line came from?

Gretch another "urban myth" ........This error has persisted in spite of the fact that the truth can be readily found in such common reference sources as the Encyclopedia Americana (Danbury, CT: Grolier, 1995). vol.25, p.492-3 under "Sphinx", which states: "Over the centuries the Great Sphinx has suffered severely from weathering...Man has been responsible for additional mutilation. In 1380 A.D. the Sphinx fell victim to the iconoclastic ardor of a fanatical Muslim ruler, who caused deplorable injuries to the head. Then the figure was used as a target for the guns of the Mamluks." In the book The Egyptian Pyramids: A Comprehensive Illustrated Reference (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 1990), p.301, the author, J.P. Lepre, adds the fact that, in addition to the 14th century damage, "The face was further disfigured by the eighteenth century A.D. ruler of Egypt, the Marmalukes [Mamluks]."
So let the little guy of the hook .......

I guess that's up there with 'Marconi inventing the radio' huh? They still put that in textbooks too. (Tesla invented radio, Marconi just did the P.T. Barnum with it.)
Oh well, something new everyday...

Well, I always heard that a bunch of WWII German soldiers shooting at the sphinx for fun caused its nose to fall off. I guess. I've never been to Egypt-
-John I'm surprised at your recalcitrance to show your work. Sure, there's probably a proprietary reason...but who else is likely to steal your idea and have the ability to produce all the parts necessary for a kit other than you?
Who else has the patience....!
Geep up the wood kork-
N!

Was it over the typical 928 debate of I want to be blown versus getting only a stroker? And the latest ***-cracker, who are you going to have it done by?
