Boosted Performance single turbo build

I have a similar setup to what Boosted is building and I have No issues with the filter location. Intake temps are great and I don't drive through puddles. Not

Actually if you use a four nozzle setup, 2 small nozzles in front of the Maf and the larger nozzle after the maf you can trick the ecu into keeping desired timing. Basically tricking it with the intake temp change. 30-40 whp just off the smaller nozzles Pre-maf. Gtm has done similar setups on their customer cars.

The Y pipe is taking shape for the F.I exhaust equped cars: (sorry not the best quality pic as it was taken with my phone)



Nice smooth transition on the inside (where it counts):



Should have the flanges welded up to it tonight and install it. After that the rest of the down pipe will be welded, and that will support the turbo while the two banks are bing fabricated to feed the twin scroll.


Thanks to the awesome support by Charles @ cj-motorsports the fuel pump mod kit has arrived. The 750cc injectors also arrived yesterday, and the 340lph fuel pump is already here.

sasha that is some nice progress in just a few days, are you planning on an oil pan spacer for ease of tapping into the system or what are the plans there?

JWT oil pan spacers are onthe way...4 of them to be exact. No need to drill/tap anything with this kit.

The oil scavenging system will also be plug'n play:



It will use an "add a circtuit" fuse holder. So you remove an OEM fuse from the OEM fuse box, plug this in and that is it. Then connect to battery gound and +12v and you are done.

The 1" pan spacers sit below the subframe just a bit.

Just to add to what es14 said, if your worried you could create an aluminum plate a couple mills thick in the same shape at the stock plastic on the bottom. Not to mention you would have to hit something of decent size or be driving like you dont give a crap... Im pretty low...and this is in my shopping cart just need to save some pennies to buy it.

Finally, another update:

At this point it is safe to say that the hard part is behind me on this build. Today I did the PITA section of piping that feeds one side of the turbine, coming from bank 1:








I also had to modify the Y-pipe from what I have posted a couple of pages back. This is due to the space available between the dual F.I exhaust and the rear transmission support. I could have kept it as it was, and put a 3" 90deg bend right after the transmission. I would have also had to put another 90deg 3" bend. I do not like 90deg bend on the down pipe, especially that close to the turbo. Just a pet peeve I guess, and at the same time improves flow.

So to avoid that the Y-pipe will look something like this:





You can see it will be a rather straight 3" shot to the turbine outlet:



Y-pipe remains nice and smooth on the inside:




Turbo compressor will have an elbow welded to the outlet:



There may be some that think this is hanging low. Well, I pulled a string from the front subframe to the rear skid plate and you can see where the turbo sits in comparison:




And then, just because it is awesome....the 62mm billet wheel:



By Saturday night I should have the down pipe welded up, and bank 2 fabricated to feed the other side of the twin scroll turbine. Once that is done, the manifold will be welded solid and I will move on to the waste gates.

The oil pan spacers should be here late next week, and the oil relocation kit should arrive tomorrow. Other than that, I am set on completing the build on schedule.

Man it's a beutiful thing your doing. Will your kit when ready come with full exhaust option or just have to get with F.I. or whatever brand you want.

The kit will fit any exhaust system that would bolt up to the OEM Y-pipe and the F.I exhaust system.

There are no other options because I do have $10,000 to spend on all the exhaust systems, install them, just to just make down pipes for all applicatioins.

Your local exhaust shop can make a simple Y-pipe for you if needed. I bet it would only cost about $150 to od it too.
