Boosted Performance single turbo build

Boosted Performance · 04-08-2012, 05:14 PM

Thanks for the props guys...It can be very frustrating building a kit for these cars the way I would want it on my own car. It is easy to cut things up so it fits ok, but very difficult to make it so that it can be installed by anybody, perfect fitting, without having to cut/trim/remove anything that came with the car.

The charge pipes are looking good, will post some pictures of that later. Today will be a shorter day than the last two, I need some rest too. Hope to have the BOV's and MAF sensor bungs weled in tomorrow morning, and that would complete all the aluminum fabrication.

All the IC pipe ends will also be bead rolled, so there is no chance of ever blowing a coupler...ever.

I also emailed GTM about the oil filter relocation kit they have. Hope to hear from them tomorrow. I would need one for every kit.

This should be where you can find what u need for the oil filter relocation.

Thank you for the link. It looks like the low profile one will work just perfect. I will give them a call tomorrow and see.

Now for day 4 update:

As mentioned earlier, I was working on the charge piping. The key here was symmetry, and it worked out great. The pipes going through the front rad support are 2.5”, and then switch to 2.75” diameter once in the engine bay. The MAF sensors will be as close to the TB as possible (or as far as the plug will reach). This is important because the sensor should be on in far away from any diameter transitions and turbulence, like those that the BOV would cause.

Enough blabber, on to the pictures:

Driver side:

Passenger side:

Couple of random shots:

Like I mentioned, the BOV’s will go in tomorrow along with the MAF sensor housings. The turbo will also arrive tomorrow, at which point the stainless fabrication can begin. I am also looking at including an oil pan spacer with an oil drain plug. Not sure who has the best deals on those, so I will have to look around.

Wow it's coming along very nicely! The 2.75" piping will be plenty of diameter to flow for a stock block, plus more. I can't wait to see what else you have in store.

DIGItonium · 04-08-2012, 08:41 PM

Wow... that's a work of art!

Deadman · 04-08-2012, 08:51 PM

Yep.. looking good man ! Anxious for this to get finished and let the orders start rolling in !

memorylasts · 04-08-2012, 09:00 PM

Awesome

Thank you so much for this!

Hey Sasha, great progress, but I can't help but wondering if you are routing the turbo to IC pipe all the way across the front, why not consider just flipping the IC so the pipe goes into the IC on the passenger side instead? It would save a bit of piping.

There is just no opening to go through to the other side. The washer fluid tank takes up all the room. I did think about it a lot, and looked at the option as well. One would have to mess around with a lot of stuff on that side to make it work.

I is very simple to make the piping as well, so I am not worried abou it. It will also be very simple to install.

Oh i see, still loving your work

Also greddy's oil pan would be a great addition to the kit, it's better then having just a spacer.

If i had a manual G, I would be handing over the keys for you to put this kit on
