haha, yeah doug! it'll be mobile. i need some decent 20vt timing values to enter before i drive it too much and i need to set base timing as well. but i'm really antsy to get back home and play with it. right now i gotta finish stripping out this v8q and :drool:

Looking good buddy! So you saving the other half of that inlet for the other bank I presume? 8)

yupperz! i probably won't get to figure out the WG routing until the engine gets mounted back in with the turbo and DP.

so the V8 heads do have the same oil return ports as the AWP and such.I guess there is an economical solution for a multi-layer head gasket.

Nope, not even close.

Looks good on the header mockup. Are you going to tie the second runner from the right into the right most runner?

Looks awesome D! Long runners for better high end breathing... will you be adding power bumps to your hood or will it all fit?

... and brilliant to do mock up with motor mounts in place..

derracuda · Post by **derracuda** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:16 am

yes justin, the runners #1 &#3 are tying together, and #2 &#4 are being tied together due to exhuast pulses even though they aren't ideal lengths or merges. everytime i have to think about a somewhat poor merge in the piping i think "20v cast turbo manifold" and my fears are quelled

if this thing works at minumum as good as the stock 20v manifold, i'll be golden

olsonjus · Post by **olsonjus** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:22 am

That is a good plan as far as pulse tuning. You'll be setup good if you ever upgrade to a larger divided housing turbo too. Is your GT35R a T4 flange?

derracuda · Post by **derracuda** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:28 am

it is a divided housing man

olsonjus · Post by **olsonjus** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:32 am

Good to hear. Holset, Garrett?

derracuda · Post by **derracuda** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:39 am

Garrett GT35R 1.06 turbine A/R and the compressor side is .76 i think. should be "streetable"

olsonjus · Post by **olsonjus** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:43 am

MMM, I didn't know the gt35R could be had with a divided housing. That will definitely be a torque monster.

i hope so! i dream about it all the time!

mmmmmm

v8 and torque :drool:

olsonjus · Post by **olsonjus** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:53 am

Just wait tell you hear the sound of the v8. I helped build a 3" exhaust for a 91 v8 using borla mufflers and it was straight nascar v8 sounding. Nothing import about that sound :woowoo: Just straight Mean.

you know, if you wont be needing your 20vt anymore, I'm sure my 4kq would be a glad recipiant.

derracuda · Post by **derracuda** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:52 pm

it's already got a new home

mhb_1323 · Post by **mhb_1323** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:01 pm

aww fiddle-craps! ohh well, ive got a list, and a turbo motors a ways down. I figure I will start out with stuff I can do. i.e. not a motor swap......yet.

derracuda · Post by **derracuda** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:07 pm

yeah, i doubt you'd wanna pay for my motor combo anyhow
