Image was taken from passenger side of vehicle. Notice the sand blasted valve cover. This is the BEFORE picture. See below for updated pics. That is a Porsche 944 intercooler. Nice rags huh?
Things are getting closer now and I can smell the 116 already. Valve cover is polished. Intercooler has been modified with a different end tank to make for a straight shot on the outlet side and increase flow. This was done by www.lindseyracing.com. They did an excellent job. You can see the delta waste gate has been welded to a ported stock manifold. The hoses are from www.turbohoses.com and they are excellent quality but not cheap. That's a 20G Mitsubishi turbo which is good for 400hp+. The motor has Esslinger’s adjustable cam and under-drive crank pulleys.
Close up of the waste
gate. I used a 1.25" steel pipe courtesy of the local hardware
store. Once the engine is running I will coat the exhaust parts with high
temp aluminum paint to clean it up. The header bolts are custom from www.turboford.org.
This is the intake side. That is a custom upper intake with a 60MM Ford Mustang throttle body. To lower the alternator I notched out the stock bracket an inch. I run a 51" to 52" belt now. Gatorback belts use the size in the last three digits of the part number (i.e. 15520 is a 52" belt).
These are the painted and polished intake and alternator from passenger side angle. The front mount intercooler has a 90 elbow and a 3" to 2.25" reducer. Clearance is tight and I am not sure I can run both v-belts. Questions? email me [email protected] Thanks
