Yes many people have 'fisted' his turbo, thats why we have the compressor covered now. Its funny, people will walk into the office, and notice it after like 10 minutes, and be like "WTF is that going on?". Before they'd see it right away and start fondling.

What manifold are you running with that turbo?

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
We need a manifold? ported 2g won't fit?
Shucks, lets pull the plug on the project.
J/k. It'll be a custom tubular stainless unit.

Is there a particular software package you guys are using for manifold design?

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
No, I will put the turbo where I want it, then make the manfold to fit, with as equal legth runners as possible. And the waist gate off the colleter in the direction of flow.

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
We are waiting on the tie down bars to the center after a chassis inspector comes out, as well as the shock tower ties. We have run into a discrepency with the rulebook and are waiting to hear back from Nopi/NDRA on it. Worst case senerio is the cage will be good to 8.50 et's.
More pics.
We'll find out thursday/friday if its "all good" or start over time.
Thanks all for looking.

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
Damn, thats looking good. Let's hope that the inspector says it's "all good" that way my jungle gym can get started  . It looks like all that thing needs is a tach, an engine and maybe some lexan then its ready to go. |

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
That is one of the things we are 'checking on'. The rear of the car is left to ALOT of interpretation. I've seen 'legal' cages with this method before, we'll just see what the inspector says before we move forward. (fully weld in). The other items of question are where the strut mounts have to tie in (90% sure on this one) and how they expect us to "stiffen" inside the driveshaft tunnel to absorb "80% of the vehicle weight in case of a roll over". Its a strong unibody design, but he is hell bent in requiring us to have frame rails in a unibody  .

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
I have seen the rear strut bar design on a few roll cages I looked at, I like the idea and plan on tying my rear strut towers into the rear strut bar. We are also looking into a more indepth rule book on roll cages, or just talking with the inspector, I want to know what I can and can not do. But it looks more like the cage will be certified for an 8.5@150mph(NHRA spec), if thats the case that will be the time to shoot for.

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
Chrome moly front end anyone?
Rear strut tower bar?
Once we get the okay, we'll button it up, get it certified, and off to paint.
Have a good weekend all!

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
Just a few bars left, till finish weld time...
and then ryan gave me a sweet deal on an IOU for his rims. Glad I still have some credit after that QPR fiasco  . I also cleaned up my calipers and painted them black with my abs delete.
Thanks for looking!

Re: Finally getting stuff done one our cars
LOL, the rims were sitting here, and i was running out of stuff to do on the car w/o getting more parts. I am waiting on a crank pully to get here, then that and the clutch go to the machine shop for balancing. Then its assembly time of the shortblock, finish porting the heads, get the valves put in..etc..etc...etc..
Jet-
Gotta love the wheel gap! Sad thing is, it will probably have 4" of wheel gap once the motor is in it  . They are actually 5zigen FNO1RC's. 17x9 +35mm offest, bronze. I didn't think they would look good, but blue cars can pull off bronze rims, subaru proved this (so did nissan).
So this summer will be suspension, brakes, and new tires.
