haha... im guessing youll be pushing somewhere around 350ish wheeL?

 

[Telion]

I could speculate, but I'd rather not this early into the project. My first post build goal once it is tuned will just be to sustain 7psi without any cels. And after that is achieved the fun will begin, ie increasing the bost incrementally and replacing whatever doesn't wanna go along with the game plan.

 

[reboticon]

350hp from 3.5 is right at 100hp/liter.. Once he has finished tuning it (which will probably be the longest part of the build) he should be able to get a good deal more than that at high rpm but he might have to open up the combustion chambers a little to increase flow and drop compression.

Are pics of making that console piece in that carbon fiber thread or is that all just first attempt stuff still?

Are you gonna put a pair of those electronically controlled exhaust Ts right before the cat so you can switch to open exhaust:yes:

I still can't believe you managed to squeeze a pair of them in there. One would have done the trick but twins raises the cool and over the top factors by a lot. Its hard to even recognize that as a legend engine bay, and the wire tucks really came out well.

 

[Telion]

Thank you yeah it was quite a task. I still have a great deal of tucking to do in terms of wiring, but it seems to be coming along. I remember looking in the engine bay and thinking to myself no way are these going to fit lol. Now theres room for a good sized set of twins .

The pics in this thread are of the 2nd attempt I still have the other one but it won't meet my needs.

Nah that's more work than I really intend to do at this time. That is why I am trying to keep the exhaust as freeflowing as possilbe, less the high flow cat.

Oh i realize the pics in this thread are the second attempt I was curious if you had any pics/suggestions for people thinking about using it for some custom interior pieces.

 

[Telion]

For smaller items I would recommend the preimpregnated CF. I didn't do it that way and it is a pain in the A to get everything right. I would also recommend doing a search and reading up about it. And if you can afford it by the proper vacuum mmaterial to do the job which was another thing I did not do. But that's for another thread all together

On a side note though I just lifted up the burlwood center console and it is a lot heavier in comparison.

 

[Telion]

A few more items came in today, but now I realize I might need more -4AN ss hose line.
and the screws that go between the feedline on the hose and the turbos , hmm
and a T off the oilpan for the return line. I am thinking Lowes or Home Depot.

Here's a little of Gary DePriest's never-finished Twin Turbo Legend as something to motivate you:

dude ^^ you been holdin out on those pics ive been lookin everywhere for those pics bro i think those pics should have been posted up from the gecco... yo Master T looking good slowly but surely... i remember another thread like this hmm ??
o yes a flashback

[Dethred]

After looking at the depriest legend for a while, I want to see someone that is doing the OBX header install swap sides and face them forward. They almost look identical when rotated in such a way. Too bad the alternator would be in the way.

 

[DandDEE]

it looked so promising honestly but Telion man thats good progress for just 4 months..

 

[Telion]

Thank you for the pic I too had been looking for those and I had a pc of the OBX's reversed and they are close but yeah both the power steering and water pump get in the way Did this^ ever run?

 

[3.2legend]

nice work,hope to see you complete this project.

Last I heard the shop that was doing the work went tits up, supposedly. I always wonder what happened to that car.

 

[DandDEE]

what happened to the dude?

 

['94'Polymorphic'GS']

Swift tracked down the car and had a thread about it somewhere if someone wanted to purchase. He had the phone # even but know one jumped on it. He told me just by looking at the pics you will notice they have a few issues that they still hadn't figured out how to solve, and after speaking with someone it never ran.

Keep up the good work though telion

 

[Telion]

Thanks, this car has to run no exceptions, I simply cannot afford or accept defeat.

 

[DandDEE]
