1984 Turbo. Go bigger.

How are you going to hook up an air filter? The inlet on that turbo looks massive.

Love how you made the headers and criossover tubes and all from weld els and straights :thumbs:

Do you have a tig machine?
 
I don't have a TIG but I have a friend thas is a welder and he did the final welding with a TIG.

Some more pictures of the progress so far.

The brackets in the last pic, are they to support the massive turbo to the cyl head?

Are you going to coat the piping?
 
In the picture before you see a bracket welded to the header near the turbo flange. You also see the support going down to the engine block beside the damper.

You also see three studs at the front of the cylinder head. They are for the bracket in the last picture. That support goes to the shock tower to keep the tourqe from twisting the engine.
 
maybe you can break the 1000hp mark on it. Maybe you're already setting some kind of record for a cast crank, x rods, L82 464664 TRW forged pistons, 2 bolt (studded) block ???
 
60 foot - 1.827 s
1/8 mile - 7.245 s, 169.85 km/h ( 105 mph )
1/4 mile - 10.862 s, 216.38 km/h ( 134.5 mph)

Still nothing broken :D
 
Still nothing to report. The Corvette is still running strong, no problems att all so far.

I have been running on Hoosier Drag Radials (DOT) for a while, and I decided to put the street tires back on the Corvette today. I want to save the Hoosiers for races.

What a differance ... there is no traction at all with these tires. Today when I flored it on the highway the tires lost tractionon third gear at about 160 km/h (100 mph). I had to let off the throttle. Drifting at that speed is not funny. :sweat:
