MY baby ( MY biimer )

you could always go to most speed shops and get an electronic cutout , and just have a y pipe, one end with exhaust, one end with nothing...it would sound kinda odd with two exhaust's and it only coming out from one side...

I cant say that I like the diffuser much.  It probably isnt functional either.

where did you get that rear spoiler from ?

Dang, wish I could make my own parts

Good luck with the turbo, looks great so far!!

i am almost done with the hood fabrication...top mount intercooler....custom made by me and my girlfriends father ( he helped me a lot )...here some pics for you....

Whoa, will you be able to see the road with that? Aren't you afraid of swallowing small innocent birds?:eek:

I will be very interested to see the end product of your car. It will be very interesting and different to say the least.

[Febi Guibo]

The 718 approves!!!

(there are no innocent birds btw...)

[gearheadE30]

Can't wait to see the final product! Looks like you could inhale a dog with that-how many turbos?

Looks sweet, good job on the parts, definitely something few if any have ever done before.

Reminds me of the Nissan Sunny Pulsar GTi-R but bigger.

I Will Tell You Only One Thing..... My Turbine Is Gt25/40r That Is Ar.70 , .86 Compressor , And Pressure Comes On In 2800 Rpm... Think About It , With Top Mount Intercooler ( That Is No Lag At All ) ....

At This Time I Am Going To Work 0,5 Bar Pressure , And When I Am Done I Am Going To Dyno The Car And Give You The Results... But In The Future ( When I Get The Money ) I Will Take It To 1,2 - 1,5 Bar....

I Will Need Pinstons , Gasket , Cams Reprofile , So It May Take Some Time ( I Am No Millionare , Just A Regular Working Man ) ....

uhhh...all turbos have lag, especially fairly large ones like this. The intercooler simply cools the incoming air for a more efficient charge.

think what would of happend if the intercooler was mounted front ( normal ) and what the lag would be , if compresed air sould go arount 1,5 meter of tube to get to the intake , and what will be the lag now that compresed air only has to go through the intercooler to get to the intake... think about the air temp and velosity...

everybody thinks that it is not so important , but i will tell you this , why most famous drift cars in japan have top or v mount intercooler ? did you ever think about that ? is it for fun or does it realy have a diference ? did you think that i would spend weeks of fabricating a hood ( not mention the monay i spend ) for nothing ?

[Alpine003]

In addition to the length of piping, the type and quality of the intercooler also can impose a pressure drop across it which can contribute to the lag. One of the potential downsides to top mount is all the heat soak from the engine but it seems like you designed a well ventilated system. Hopefully you'll be fabbing up some kind of intercooler sprayer for those hot days.

i am also making the intercooler compartment inside the engine indipendant from the engine , the hot air from the engine is not going to mix in any way with the intercooler , or the cold air that will be goint to the intercooler....i am going to seperate engine-intercoooler , so i think i am not going to have a problem....

anyway , i am going to post pictures of what i will do , when i do it...
