How to make a big turbo fit in a gvr4???

[ade]

i had to put a small dent on the water pipe not so bad, but painful.

Yes sir! So many white gvr4's in the springs its retarded lol

it really, really is....

I get phone calls from firneds all the time telling me they just saw me over by XXX and driving fast over by XXX and racing XXX over XXX.... Most of the time I'm completely confused, as Im usually sitting on my couch drinking beer or in the shop with it torn apart...lol

Should update your sig, sir!

Top mount FTW!

Mines getting really close to done, just some intercooler piping now.

I love that you fit it in there with the stock radiator. Using pusher fans I assume?

Mine is on an HKS manifold and not that big by today's standards. If I didn't have the WG where it is, I could probably run the stock radiator as well. I'm running a srirocco where the condenser used to be.

Hmmm I was going to do a top mount setup. I'm going with a front mount setup though. It seems to look similar to the setup Boz had on his car, only better laid out and a less cool head flange. I'll post up some pictures in a day or two.

Full-Race t3 T67, OBX ramhorn, Civic half or Scirocco rad in order to fit; stock wouldnt clear the WG or lower radiator tank id imagine.

Some progress on the custom manifold.

NICE! What are the downpipe plans? looks like a helluva angle there?

[thecman02]

It honestly won't be to bad. I'll take some pictures when I get the downpipe fabbed up, but there is actually lots of room in between the turbo and the block. The runners are all above or far enough to the passenger side that they don't interfere.

Not sure if this is considered a big turbo.
Here is a 35r with S cover, 4in inlet.
No a/c

 

^^^ Where did you buy the oil feed filter/restrictor sir?

 

[5OF2k]

Looks a lot like the feed/filter kit sold on extremepsi.com

 

[TomN]

Yes I'm pretty sure it was from extremepsi.

That looks a lot like my TurboTrix manifold I had on my 1G Tom. I'm guessing you're running a Scirocco rad?

 

[TomN]

It's a Shearer manifold.
It's a afco scirocco style radiator that sits on the front frame rail.

 

Here's the progress I've made....intercooler piping was a little bit of a bich to get right, especially since it was just piping I had laying around.
