From an idea to reality. Top mount twin turbo set up. Enjoy.

Wow those are some big turbos, what are they? Also what is the advantage of mounting them at that location?

37winner 03-06-2016 01:58 AM

Yeah turbos are a decent size. Two 62mm turbos. The advantage, no clue. It was one of those no one was doing it so I figure why not. Plus it looks cool lol

Ahh hmm... Specs, numbers, kit you used, link to where one can purchase? :tiphat:

Nice, when do you plan on having it running?

37winner 03-06-2016 02:45 PM

The car is running. Break in phase now.
This was all custom built. No kit.

Looks like the charge pipe goes directly to the manifold. Are you not cooling the compressed air?

37winner 03-06-2016 04:03 PM

No its cooled

Advantages? Performance wise there are zero, its actually a much worse setup for heat soak. So clearly as you stated, you're build looks to be going for "looks" vs functionality. While looking cool, it surely won't be running "cool", haha.

GL w/ the build!

I can only imagine how harsh those charge pipe bends are :/

Bigger turbos.

I never stated I was going for looks. I said it looks cool.

We thought about how hot it will get for the past four years.

The cars running. If it doesn't rain out I'll be bringing few cars down to TX2k. Hope to see everyone there.

Especially the apparent 1000whp guy here on the forums.
