hotlavaflow's TT AEM Legend

hotlavaflow · 09-22-07, 10:48 PM

I don't post in the picture gallery to often but I promised some pics of my twin turbo build so here you go.

In the original design I used seperate charge pipes for the turbos but after test driving it we decided that an H or X pipe might help to attain a faster spool and bring the boost on smoother so we went back to the drawing board. As you can see from the pics we went with my idea of the X pipe. There are a few times during this build that we stopped to reconsider the original design or ran into space issues with the car and had to come up with ways around it. Anyway I'm very happy with the end result after 2 months of construction.

If you have any questions you know what to do.

General Parts List:

NSX AEM EMS 30-1002
Garrett T28's (eventually will upgrade to HKS 2530's)
HKS SSQV bov's
Turbowerx Engineering oil sump pump
EDT 2in-1out intercooler
everything else was custom

The bigger the turbo the bigger the lag. Plus we're talking T28 per 3 cylinders.

guest · 09-23-07, 02:32 AM

yeah, most likely air filters probably, I was just thinking if he was turning or something, with our cars being fwd and all
