gt35r turbo on bondo header

[500dollar744ti]

i got a chance to mount it up to figure out spacing requirements. not sure how the bondo header was jigged but it didn't fit in my car without hitting the frame rail. i waited too damn long for this thing to care anymore so i notched the frame rail. the other option would have been to shim the motor mount but then the compressor housing would contact the hood. i got a feed line to it and a return line, without leaks, ftmfw. car runs, i can put it outside and make more progress later.

That should break something or another sooner or later.

[towerymt]

Filter, please.

Filter, please.

Think of the children!!!

Not just children, squirls, and Deers

[shaved240]

that thing sounds pissed. Can't wait to see driving videos. That car's gonna be uncontrollable now ;)

good bye t5

[JohnMc]

Yeah, the T5's shred in Mustangs once they do a decent amount of work on the motors, same as the M46/47's in Volvo's.

It's #1 that hits I assume?

I tweaked RSI's original/intended design because I did not like #1 at all.

Here's a comparison, I bet their initial design cleared. IMHO you're better off with the notched framerail - but yeah that's my fault. ;-)

cant wait to see the beast run :oogle:

[dbh86]

Nice! It's funny that all of us 16V kids are having similar problems.

[spruill745]

Wow, have fun handling that thing now.
haha.

[linuxman51]

if you didn't notch the framerail you won't go fast.

[Sander]

The car is also a couple grams lighter now. But nice work! Can't wait to see everything up and running!

[Captain Bondo]

also- it's technically an RSI header. ;-)

also- make sure you brace it or it will crack. ;-)

Looks like better hotside clearance than Cam's wastegated GT30 hotside.

Any shots with the wastegate on?

[500dollar744ti]

not yet, still gathering parts and getting stuff setup, i just set it on there so i can do some more work next week.

it is the #1 runner but it's cool, all fits well now.

[500dollar744ti]

Filter, please.

i need some sort of piping because a filter won't just fit on without hitting the radiator.

screen maybe?

[qwkswede]

Oh yeah. This is looking good. I hope this thing puts the v8 turbo to shame. Not sure that it will happen, but you have the same number of valves in each car. whatever that means.

[str8krewzn]

Usa a K&N 4inch short filter thats wat i got and has bout 1inch b4 the rad

[MrBill]

I wonder what that gt35 is gonna do...

I think I'll stick to my $175 holsets.

Digga-Dango' cheap (and good flowing, quick(comparitively) spooling) holsettie's ftw!

[maxman142001]

downpipe should be interesting...hows the hood clearance?

[500dollar744ti]

there's a little less than an inch, if it has to make speed holes, so be it.

Yeah it does -- still pretty close, but looks to have more room than I do.

[BrickLove]

**** it. Just do a stack through the hood.
