1 turbo, 2 intake manifolds, will the pressure make it to both manifolds simultaneousnesly? if not does it make it hard to tune? Just wondering why more companies don't release a single turbo kit for around the same price point as a supercharger? What is the challenge with single turbo on a V6 dual inakes vs Twins? LOL sorry soo many questions but my knowledge is limited when it comes to this kind of setup.

Everything will be heat wrapped plus a turbo blanket, Setrab 24 row oil cooler, and an extra quart of oil with the oil pan spacer, all should be good!

Not necessarily. I'm pretty sure this setup is going to have better powerband as well as peak power than the twin setups I've seen to date.

I'll shoot high......
Turbo Charger - GT35R - $1500
Wastegate - $300
Blow off Valve - $300
Intercooler core - $500
Misc oil fittings/lines/air filter - $400

You would have $3000 to fab:
Up pipe (turbo manifold)
Downpipe
Intake pipe
Intercooler end tanks
Intercooler piping

I understand the first kit would simply cost more, due to needing more time to produce. If you were to make jigs and make a seemless process. A single turbo kit would be priced perfect at $6k right with the superchargers, rather then $7800-8k for a twin kit.

$3,000 for fab, that woud be great if we were welding air together

If you want a mass produced kit, send these pics to a company that is in that line of business, and I am sure they will be willing to look into it if there is a market for it.

I'm not the kind of guy to sell the same thing to more than one person. I'll gladly build similar, but different, setups for the same platform. I'm not for mass producing them, especially for penny pinchers. You want my stuff, it's gonna cost what it's going to cost because it's something different than what everyone else has. My prices aren't cheap, they aren't what other kits cost, but they also aren't out in left field for the quality of the hardware. I've never had anyone that's seriously interested in a setup turn away because of price, however if you think it's going to happen for equal or less than an off the shelf, mass produced kit, you have the wrong idea

Thank you, I put alot of effort into everything I build! My hardware is built to the best of my abilities and also as if I were building it for my own car, as I would expect it, with the highest of expectations. I don't let anything slide with my hardware, it's exactly how it should be and nothing less!

I'm not designing this stuff in solidworks but I'm pretty damn good at fabbing this stuff how it should be regarding flow characteristics. The dual TB definitely tested my abilities but after seeing the charging piping done, intercooler to throttle bodies, I'm confident it will get the job done. If the tuner is able to tune accordingly with the dual blow through MAF's, then we are definitely set!

And with that, here's today's progress!

2.75" charge piping, 2.75" split to the passenger side TB, 2.5" to the drivers side TB. Passenger side has shorter route to take but also takes a tighter path to the TB. From the IC, the direct path is to the 2.5" drivers side piping. Not the most ideal piping split but the best possible solution for the room and hardware configuration

OEM fans relocated in front of the radiator, polarity switched, now pusher instead of puller

Manifold wrapped

Getting closer to having her feet back on the ground!

Roomates for the night

Looks amazing and I can't wait until the tuning starts!

esfourteen · 05-04-2011, 10:29 PM

awesome work! just curious, where do you plan on placing the MAF's?

HTA A4 · 05-04-2011, 10:32 PM

Very nice Shawn!

OP, build is awesome! Car is gonna be amazing to drive!!

Off-topic real quick: Another car Shawn has built. 1.8L bored to 1.9L, built bottom end, built top half ready for 8500rpm (6800rpm stock), cams. HTA3076r turbo, all custom plumbing, custom intake manifold, full custom downpipe and exhaust, custom methanol tank, etc.

Shawn knows what he's doing! He does this for a living...obviously doing something right. I live in Illinois and took my car all the way to Florida to have Shawn work his magic on it.

Plus the intake manifold he made.

Pity no blow through avaliable for Z's......... or speed density ;-)

RockStarKick · 05-04-2011, 10:37 PM

Damn, man taking it to the next level with this set-up and build... !!!!!

I was going to ask the same thing. Everything looks good so far cant wait for the results.

EXTREME · 05-04-2011, 11:06 PM

very nice work and the builder knows what he is doing. good job shawn

HKYStormFront · 05-04-2011, 11:10 PM

ryan, you still on track to have this thing out of the shop by next week?

Boost_lee · 05-04-2011, 11:29 PM

grade A stuff

Not only does it look great, but the progress is quite fast too!

docaam · 05-04-2011, 11:42 PM

great progress, cant wait for the finish

98intrigue · 05-05-2011, 12:15 PM

Thanks again, everyone! The anticipation is building!

Yes sir, there's still a lot left to do...but it will be done. Since I am having it tuned locally, rather than 4hrs away like originally planned, it took A LOT of stress off of my/Shawn's shoulders. So even though it won't be tuned Saturday like originally planned, that's perfectly fine by me. Now Shawn has more time to complete everything and I have more time to get the appointment for the tune.

As Sean said, all the hot piping will be wrapped and I ordered a turbo blanket today. Also, thanks to Tony at Motordyne for 2nd daying my new hoses for the manifold!

coming along nicely. excited to see what kind of numbers you put down.
