Got it running night before last. Still lots to do on it, but less to do than when i started...

 

dude this build is sweet! now.. question, might be a silly one.. with the maf, i've always seen the maf before the turbo, not on the ic piping.. whats the difference? or does it matter?

 

why hello zero ground clearance

lol

 

Looks great! I agree about everything hanging very low. Guess it will be fine as long as they don't hit something.

 

is an intercooler of that proportion really needed on this application?

 

someone needs to do this to a 3.0L ;-)

 

its called a "blow through" setup. You can do this, it just limits the maf's range. Tuneability is a little easier with the bov before the maf when its vented to the atmosphere.

 

it wont be as bad as it looks...

 

yes it is... if it doesnt make the numbers we are shooting for, we wont have to upgrade the cooler, just the turbo. if it does make the numbers we are looking for, we will just benefit from cooler charge temps, plus less pressure drop across it.

 

bring it to me :-)

 

correct - system goes rich between shifts when you have it vta and it is on the negative pressure side.

 

cool idea about the EE plenum but why give yourself the added weight?

 

Well now he can't take his 4wd truck off road.

 

added weight? added weight of what? the intake setup? it lost the weight of the intake when i took the fan off of it.

 

its a 2005 with 20k miles on it... still the original tires... how much off roading do you think this truck will see??


come on guys, be realistic, i told you in the beginning of the thread that i didnt have time for a bunch of questions. i guess ill just start picking and choosing the ones to answer....

 

Too bad that wasn't a question, smart ***. Don't a be a dick.

 

never said it was a question, dumbass. dont be a moron.

 

i understood you gutted the supercharger. i don't know how much the stock intake and that one weighs.

 

All i have to sat is powed.




Good build up. this thing looks sweet. Can't wait to see more of it.

 

Yea sick is the proper word here!

 

its not the fact that it weighs like 3 lbs more than the stock intake. have you looked at your tb lately? and the small runners in the intake? plus its plastic... nitrous and boost arent the best thing for a plastic intake, plus this thing is running a 3 inch charge pipe, it would be retarded to try to cram all that air into a 65mm tb.

im not being a jackass, just trying to make things clear.

 

Got it running fairly decent tonight, gotta get the wideband hooked up on it tomorrow... everything works pretty well for a prototype... Hopefully tomorrow night there will be a road test.

 

Looks great man

 

estimated power?

 

at least 200hp. lol
