thanks dude, pm sent!
so update time!
ive been working on the car "slowly" the past few days with the hopes of finishing the hot side portion before i return to school on monday. The turbo is a 76-65 from on3 performance, capable of 500hp +. I don't have any intentions of coming anyone near there for now. I'll be leaving the engine completely stock with the exception of fuel injectors. With ~5psi of boost we should see 325-350 hp at the wheels, plenty for this guy.
So some pictures
I wanted to use one of my turbo manifolds, but with a modified cross over point, but with the way i did my upper radiator hose and the location of the heater hoses i decided to just work with factory truck manifolds and run it on the driver side instead.
unfortunately this probably means hood exit exhaust,but maybe not, still investigating the possibility of fender exit.
Then i welded my wastegate right to the turbine housing to save space
but then i realized that wasn't going to clear the hood, so i added a 90 to it.
and thats where im at for now, im currently working on the cross over tube and should have that finished first thing in the morning. Hope you guys had a nice thanksgiving!
