MKG's Custom Single Turbo Build

Chuck33079 · 07-27-2013, 11:44 AM

Is a single 3" big enough? I was under the impression that the stock two 2.5" pipes outflow a single 3". Maybe a 3.5" would be more appropriate. Considering you guys can build basically whatever you want, why not go a little bigger?

The plan is 4"+ single or 3" duals in the future.

Ok. That makes more sense.

Yeah in time it will happen. Want to see what we can push with this set-up first.

Fixed a few things on the Z today. One of which was the alternator wire was to close to the exhaust and wasn't tucked nicely. Heres a pic of the pass side with the wires tucked away again.

It takes probably a solid day, less if you have two+ motivated people. But it's fairly easy.

Also fixed an exhaust rattle, and a small electrical issue where my lights were turning on automatically.

Also found myself in traffic...sat in bumper to bumper for 1 hour. Had ac on the whole time with windows down. Coolant temps were good, oil temps were good, afrs stayed where they should be. Very good considering the heat soak.

I know what you mean man
I think it would be fun to do a mile race... see who would win between the two cars

I only say mile because with the wheel spin, we need more distance

Haha I'm down. Keep an eye on my YouTube Channel. I should have a few videos up soon once it'd tuned. We have a dude with a ZR1 and a 458 Italia I'll be running against.
