did i miss some thing or did my ? get blown off? im sorry was the demensions mensioned allready?

 

No racersonly I didn't blw off your question I just hadn't really read through the last page. You sir are correct and that is actually well covered in the links that I posted. What I post really highlights the build but if anyone really wanted to do this I would strongly encourage reading through each of the links as I assure you that unless you do this for a living or have as a hpbby for a long time you would be bound to learn something. But the direct answer to your question is they have an ID of 1.5".

snip here tuck there and prblem solved

 

Well here are a few more pics to show symetry and size before the go back to be welded up. It is coming along well, Thank you Vic!

collectors should be here any day (hopefuly the water temp gauge will be too)

 

Ohh those headers look mean!!

 

Thank you, hopefully the work will pay off.

 

holy crap dude is this really gonna happen?

where's your sc?

 

of course this is really going to happen, I have too much going into it for it not to. The SC hopefully is in route back to me. It still needs a little work so it will be on the back burner for a bit, atleast till I get this done.

 

they do look awsome they would look even beter in red ceramic coating.:bigok:

 

ceramic coating yes, red no. lol I will do your set in red though. (foreshadow?)

 

im impressed telion, its coming together very nicely, how are you going to route the exhaust after its fed to the turbos?

 

I apologize for not coming back to this Forevrea, first I wanna say thank you for the compliment it means a lot. As for the exhaust route the current plan is to run a y off each turbo closer to the passengerside of the engine and between the radiator and the engine behind the front part of the suspension rack (this is from memory sorry), then axleback style over the axles and then straight back. I will see if I can find a pic.

 

possibly. hey i forgot to mension that if you ever wana upgraid those turbos let me know. my place can bore out the housings and put biger wheels for more hp capabilities so even a small turbo can produce as much hp as a slightly larger turbo.

 

Thank you, I will keep that in mind but as for these turbos there purpose will be to determine how far this project will go. I won't put much money into them (if your talking like 50.00 for both you got it). The goal would be to step up to a larger set of turbos and press forward

?????????????????

 

sounds like a winner.

 

If the manifolds work out, you need to give the design to someone to make more on demand. If this works out I will have to choose between your two projects and their availability. I am pysched! I never would have taken a hiatus if I had known all these mods were in the works.

 

That is definately part of the plan and I already have connections in place to make it happen. The first step though will be to complete the project. I also have a few other small scale things that I want to make available for us as well. If we don't have an established aftermarket, we can come together and create one

 

check this out telion. i saw it and thought of your setup.:hitit:

 

Black reservoir with a yellow lid where our fuse box is: is that his coolant reservoir?

It strikes me as a bad idea to put such a large heat source as a turbo right next to the line carrying that little bit of extra coolant into the radiator when the thermostat opens. Won't you be making the cooling system work just that much harder?

I suppose it's an inevitability really: turbos are going to bring heat into the system one way or another right? Hopefully the Legend's design is up to the task.

[Note: I'm guessing here... it's just what first occurred to me when I was watching that video and I'm curious if it's of concern in your design Telion]

 

Well a few things if you are referring to the side coming from the turbo going into the TB than nope not doing that but it looks cool and I don't think it would impact the cooling ability of the cooling system ( which I also aided with an upgraded all aluminum C&R racing radiator with a SPAL high speed fan). Also though it looks cool, wonder what type of intercooler(s) he is using. and I would not merge at the TB like he did. Ok just re-read the email and see the overflow reservoir and I don't see that as an issue I would probably shield it from the headers, but as long as it doesn't melt it should be fine. mine is actually located in the front driverside wheel well.

 

Do you realize how much bumper I had to cut to fit those pipes in there , not to mention the intercooler, which is bigger than the one pictured. We will definitely be in the market for an aftermarket bumper and I really need a lip spoiler because I cant fit the factory one without it ending up looking like a cut up plastic flap.

I dread actually cutting my 94+ bumper I have. I might end up taking that one to the body shop for a professional fitting.

Hmm possibly a benefit to having a coupe (and a 91' bumper)? Yeah I agree though with the spoiler lip or atleast the area behind it. I do have the Sarona front bumper but I am shying further and further away from putting it on this car. I will try to get a pic up of how I mounted the reservoir though it may need to be re-fabbed out of aluminum depending on the heat.

 

Ok, I mentioned that I would put up a pic of the location of the reservoir so here it is with a few other semi related pics.

I know many don't car for the N1 style but remember form follows function, look at the tig welding

And the Audi Quatro has an exsquiset real leather shift boot

The collectors had some issue in the ordering process, but I re-ordered them and they should
be here tomorrow (was suppose to be here today) but the water temp gauge arrived

 

That muffler does not belong on a Legend. I know turbos don't either, but turbos>fartcan. Just my $0.02:thumbsup:

 

werd turbo or not a rice cannon like that shouldn't have its place anywhere on a legend not even the trunk hopefully u reconsider your muffler option master T... my $5.00:hide:

 

can you send that to me via paypal , just kidding and I know what your sayin and would never put this on a non turbo'd Legend.

 

Battery's on the wrong side Telion: your best weight distribution would come from having it on the opposite side of the trunk

 

Hmm, good point I do have something over there already though. But I will look at rearranging things a little.

And once I here how the car sounds with the muffler I will revisit replacing it but I seriously doubt it will sound like a fart can on a V6 TT setup.

I thought you find this interesting

Squires Turbo Systems - Trucks!

 

Buzzard, how much power did you make from that setup? Stock transmission?
