I promise there WILL be video... I dunno when as I don't have my own camera... it's in AZ still... with alot of my stuff... in storage... sigh... but I am pretty psyced about this... as I have said... been so busy with the Team I had forgotten how much fun it is to work on MY MINI... LOL

 

been put to such good use! Now that's modding!

Excellent work, and keep us all posted!

Matt

 

ha ha.. exactly... I love the sawzall right now...

 

Tuls did you hafta to cut into the front brace to mount that ic? I was considering using a 6"x24" any particular reason you went bigger?( ie minimum requirements for IC temps)

 

are you talking about THIS ONE! LOL...



uh yeah... I cut it... that pic was the ruff cut... I made it much nicer after...

with ICs bigger is better, running minimum requirements for me is never the way I do things... I go with worst case senario.... the one I have is good for 700... if I am making 400 then it will only work better and more efficiently... Boost drop? boost drop only occurs before the box is full... so maybe... what 500 RPM difference if it was 6 inches insted of 12... once the box is full there is no boost drop.. and I get much kewler air...

I would say if you are only looking to make 300 MAX then 24 x 6 X 3 would be ok... but I would still prefer something like I have...

 

What hood are you running, do you think that you could run a standard cooper hood?

 

ahhh ok, now I see where u cut it.......I didnt notice at first....

thanks!

 

I could... I just like the S hood... plus mine is carbon fiber... so I am kinda attached to it...LOL

I didn't have to go that extreme... but you know me...

 

yeah I was thrown off by the angle! I just thought it was part of your humour....I wasnt thinking that u cut it at that point.....

Im the silly goose...

 

Spillman...congrats on a great accomplishment......

 

here here! sorry I knda high jacked the thread... I figured since I am doing the pump gas turbo thing as well it should be placed here insted of another thread

 

I started a turbo only thread its somewhere around its not too old.. Post your pics and stuff there once your done... Trying to get all the turbo's into one thread with specs n pics...

 

hey tuls, lookin good man! i wish i still had the mini to do my own interpretation of the turbo only setup. My only reservation with your design is that you cut the crash support beam... that kinda scares me when your going faster because of your cooler charged air

 

awwww it's a wittle baby turbo, he so cute

 

Point of no return. Lets see the IC and pipes Tuls

 

Who ever guess it can have it right? Garrett GT3071r Zip code 96734 over night express please

 

i have one of those too... but its going to a new home very soon... to make way for a paxton 1000 hehe...

 

ahhh but it is bigger than that my friend! guess again!

 

yeah but I'll be welding in the IC to that same beam.. so the IC which is huge will be come the bumper support! LOL... and it's bigger so it will spread out the impact LOL... riiiiight...

heck JDM cars don't even have bumper supports! LOL

 

You guys are full of surprises I give up

 

Perhaps a Gt3076R?

 

I reeeaaally want to see some turbo plumbing.

Does anyone have pics of a turbo only setup and how the tubing is done?

 

Maybe a GT3271.. or a GT3571

 

hahah, yeah....... its a multi-purpose design, cooler charge and improved crash resistance

My JDM s2k has reinforced bumper supports... when installing the intercooler you need to plum the tubes and wiring around it! and it also has about 3-4 feet of room between the bumper and motor... space thats a bit lacking in the MCS :D

Again, its lookin sweet

 

Not to get too off-topic, but have you seen the 2JZ-GTE engine swaps into the s2k? Look it up its pretty intense... (NOTE: 2JZ-GTE = 93-98 Supra TT engine)
