Turbo setup engine bay shots wanted!!
« on: December 21, 2009, 09:39:31 pm »
Any one who is running a turbo setup and is willing cod post up a picture of their engine bay, I thought having lots of photos all together would be helpful for me and others in future doing turbo setups as people don't have to ask questions can just look at pictures as you know what they say a Picture is worth a thousand words or sumthing !! Thanks for any one who posts much appreciated guys :)

cheers haysey they do show quite a bit for me, like how youved blanked of throttle body. where youve t'ed into the collant for what i assume is the turbo coolant return ?? two questions for you whered you get your boost piping made up? As i think alot of people would be intrested in getting one of these or was it a custom fab by yourself.Secondly wheres you bov or recirc valve as i cant see it in any pics.

All very nice, some great ideas and engineering, and the power figures Haysey and Robin got on the rollers are very impressive. But for me, it's not right without that G-Lader drone!
Mind you, I might be tempted if my supercharger is knackered  ;D

the pipe teed into the top header tank pipe is the water return from the turbo yeah.  The solid pipe was originally made by Pitstop (who no longer exist), I had it modified to suit the different intercooler I'm using with my turbo by a mate with a tig welder.

my dump valve is in a t=-piece just after the compressor outlet.

Good to see the boost recirc valve setup he was running also he was running the standard intercooler I wonder what sort of power he was running

Looking at the incar footage where it accelerates from a rolling start in second gear, I'd say it wasn't producing really big power.
