Rofl.

Wrong, go again if you wish. This is why paul said he would rofl when people find out

I have a 1500hp turbo going into a 360 hemi power ski boat though.

2.5" exhaust per bank just to feed the turbo. Looking at a 5" exhaust pipe.

Not quite, but it handles about the same... :lol:

I did warn you he was into building strange things didn't I?

Its in a 1.3L 4wd. I wont go much further than that however because he was pretty blunt about the rules regarding identifying the exact car.

Yeah, he likes to keep things on the DL... You know we got this thing engineered right :shock:

Not so sure we will be able to keep it that way once this all goes on...

Its the entire driveline Im worried about, Even the beadlocks might not be enough.

I mean, it should get on fullbost by what..2500rpm it may make 600ftlb. Which would be... well. Insane.

I mean, its just the most nuts, signature worthy setup.

Twincam swapped, cammed, ported, stroked, forged, supercharged, intercooled, twinscroll turbocharged 4wd.

I mean, its just ridiculous.

I'm gonna have a go and guess a Suzuki Sierra.

Ive played with a few sierras, they are a popular car for the twin cam swap.

Here is one I prepared earlier.

Some feedback PM'd to me this morning from the owner of the first ever car I built a turbo setup for.

JOJO82 wrote:Hey Dann,

Just wanted to give you a bit of feedback on the turbo setup you built for me over a year ago..

So 2 weeks ago I finally was able to get it back out on the track and I must say I was pleasantly surprised as I forgot what it felt like to drive.

The last time I had it on the track was at Wakefield but this time was out at Sydney Motorsport Park doing the Brabham circuit.

The last time I drove this circuit was the old layout before it was redone and was when I had the blower on the car so it was good to compare the two.

I must say the car absolutely pulls hard coming out of turns and there is honestly no lag to speak off and this is running a T28 turbo. It just pulls hard, and keeps on going right up until 7200rpm where it is still making power but is hitting my redline.

Now comparing this to the old blower setup is a world of difference...The supercharger was instant but was lacking the pull that the turbo setup has.

I mean everytime I put my foot down you can feel this this just throw you back whereas the supercharger didn't have this feel.

Coming down the main straight I noticed a big difference in top end speed compared to the blower. With the blower the max I could manage was around 170 - 180kph. With the turbo I was constantly reaching 220kph

The setup is reliable and was abused for pretty much the whole day and was faultless except for the minor issue that I discussed with you.

Just wanted to say thanks for building the setup and all the over the phone advice you provide.

Feel free to post these comments wherever you like as a testimonial of your great work.

I also need to arrange sometime with you to do a bit more work on the car...

Cheers
Joe

Thanks joe.

His minor issue was a leaky gasket which I warned him would happen with his lead foot :lol:

So gasket free setup coming soon

An exhaust for a members race car/daily warrior. I only snapped a couple of photos.

It is a 2.25" SS system with a race cat a mild hotdog and a mild 3" muffler, no idea how it will sound, Ill get sound clips soon

These are mazdaspeed headers and look at all of the cracks inside them. They are gorgeously made but the steel is just so thin.

Apologies for some blurry photos.

Headers should be rigidly mounted to the bellhousing or gearbox so that the mounting flange is not taking the flexing caused by engine twisitng, lateral G forces and road bumps. If you do that properly then all that flexing is absorbed at the flexible section in the header end pipe. Otherwise you're swinging the entire exhaust system off the header mounting flange at the cylinder head - stupid - and things will crack exactly as pictured. So I don't regard this as a header fault, just a fitting fault.
