yes, i got the rotor. it has been slow going to get the car done. building tons of brackets and charge pipes and braces..etc.

 

so far so good.

 

here are a few updated pics.










like i said, slow going, but it's coming along. I still need to reinstall the alternator, the power steering reservoir and hoses, my oil catch can, fabricate the coolant plumbing and an overflow. I also need to finish the harness and reinstall it.

The hot side charge piping is giving me a fit. Trying to get 2 2" tubes smoothly into one 3" in about a foot is not easy. And to try and make it look good is a thrill too.. I'm seriously considering going single.

Anyone want a ready to run a big twin setup? $1500.00 gets you a pair of
K26s (same turbos as SaRD and Blitz use) a pair of Tial 38mm wastegates, all mounted to a modified stock mainfold, includes all oil lines, both feed and drain, and intake pipe with a SaRD Top EX filter.. Made 354whp/343tq at 13psi before my USDM intake cam swap. Hate to see it go, but I need simplicity for this race car. This setup clears the firewall with room to spare, no banging for the heater core for you new swap guys.

 

Looks good man. Sucks you have to get rid of the twin setup, its a one of a kind. Hopefully someone will pick it up so you can get on with the car. I would, but Im not swapping my motor, 1500 is a good price for whats all included.

 

Let me know if you need a Garrett Jeff. I'll give you the best deal possible.

 

Yea, I know Jacob.. it is kind of an icon.. but hey for a race car I think it will be better.. half the turbos is half the heat under the hood.. and I run hard.

Kaiser.. you know I'll be coming to talk to you when the time comes.

 

Somebody please buy these!!

Strut tower clearance.. 93 Lexus GS300


Strut tower and frame clearance. TONS of room


Dual -12 AN oil drains (Aristo oilpan fitting)


Firewall clearance


Birdseye view of it all


And finally.. the REASON these HAVE to go..


Sorry to post pics with rust..etc, my car has been down for going on 6 months while the chassis was stripped and stitch welded..etc.. I'll clean them up for you.

 

well the twins didnt sell. Decided to keep the icons and figure out how to use them.

made a new coolant surge tank for the v mount. car is almost done now.
pretty much just wiring and little stuf. 8)








sorry for the camera phone pix.. late night in the driveway

here is the twisted azz hot piping Y i came up with.


here is how it works



and how it all fits together

 

Wow! Those pictures are gigantic.

 

Are you going 5-6spd or your staying auto? By the way it's coming along nicely.

 

I think sooner or later he is planning on going 5spd.

Looks good Epik, thats not gonna affect lag too much is it?

 

the y pipe? no it is smoothed out on the inside and transitions well. besides, that piping is the only intercooler piping i have.. most front mount intercooler hot/cold pipes total almost 10 ft

yes, 5 speed eventually. once this stage is done and usable again it's time to start saving for the trans and hunting down more sponsors.

 

running


















i'll be shaking it down at the drift practice Wednesday night. I'll try and get some vid.

 

Alright man!

 

Awesome, cant wait, find you a friend with an expensive camera, haha.
