looks good tydon. Whats up with the long hose for the BOV? lol

Temporary couldnt find one that fitted the bov. that hose is off my old bc5 gt legacy radiator HAHA

[QBALLZ]

Tidy work mate

Here's my bay, A bit different to all your guys... ;D

[94 Leone]

That's about how long it'd take me to push it down the 1/4 and back ;D

I have the engine out at the moment to work on- being that it's easier to work on while out of the car.

Single turbo- just taking forever, and repaired whilst converting.- and getting some cool parts- like the v7 intercooler, though I may have to get a silicon y-pipe to fit onto the td05h. or just a peice of hose and clamp over both.

[Stoffa]

done, although I may redo the airbox bit

please note, GC8 with V8 spec c manifold, direct spark conversion and top fed with bling rails and firesleeved pushloc hose, also running 11mm pheonolic spacers so the manifold sits quite high

did you try flipping the manifold while it was all apart? when i was doing mine i wondered about trying to flip a v7- mani to see if the intake would fit under it. The alternator drops low enough for the piping to go over top on the v7- too.

Looking at doing cop with v7- mani anyway to get my piping to sit lower it just scrapes the bonnet. I know who to ask when i get there now

Are the spacers for heatsoak or to fit larger intake?

Looks so tidy man good work.

Great to see it finished Stoffa, looks very tidy mate.

[Stoffa]

Spacers are just for heatsoak, still running stock front cover on the turbo, but plenty of room to run a 3 inch intake.

Didn't want the drama of flipping the manifold, running spacers I would have clearance issues with the throttle body, I already had to trim a little slot of my bonnet framework for the idle solenoid and trim 5mm off the top tank mounts so I could close the bonnet.

IMO shorter pipework doesn't make that much difference, kind of wanted to see how well I could get the factory orientation working just to show you dont need to go rotated turbo, external wastegate, headers or flipped manifold to get good results.

Hopefully getting dyno'd with in the next 6 weeks or so, just putting some km's on the new engine first

go the twin carbs!!

Solex's were way sexier but ran like poos on the Auto

a lot of people in america flip with 8mm spacers max i think but also in v7- so not sure if bonnet clearance is still an issue. Spacers arent actually required v7- though.

Everyone seems split 50/50 on whether it makes a difference but ive seen one test that showed a foot long pipe direct from turbo to tb back to back with massive front mount with no difference. I just went that way to clean up the bay and coz everyone said it was impossible

Looks very tidy though man. you dont have a garage thread do you?

[Stoffa]

nah no garage thread, its like a shopping list for car thieves

[WRXONP]

hahahah thanks - me love compressor surge

[Timmah]

[WRXONP]

Pod filters all the way extra 997 hp !!!

Cut a bigger hole for the guard intake, and use a bigger pipe
