Well like the title says, I have sold the FP 3052, I now have bought a Garrett GT4088R, The Lincoln 225 Tig welder will be here on wed. Material for building the tubular manifold. & the new GT4088R will be here later on in the week Forced Performance RULES!!! All I have to say for the fellow Mid tenn peeps is "IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG" Biotch...... lol anywho, This is going to still be a MAX effort street car. Meaning that it will be a track car unless I wanna drive it to town or just wanna go play around a bit. So needing some sugestions of where to place the turbo. I thought mabe runnning Half radiator, or having the 4 inch inlet kinda stickin out of the hood. Or like shearfab.com has done here


Any suggestions let me know draw it up.....

no matter what, that is a huge turbo...but thats a gt42r

Wow, sweet turbo man! Post pics when its all finished :D

I think that was just a picture of what his setup might look like, either way it's huge.

He wasn't saying that's HIS setup, he was just showing it as an example of how to place his turbo.. which looks good to me.

And.. WOW, Nice!

Edit - ^ yeah what Curt said, my computer was going really slow..

What are they putting in the water down there? You Tennessee guys are getting buck wild with the turbos. Insane!

Yes the picture was an example of placement. However we are fab. the manifold using a GT42R turbochager for when were later upgrade to the GT42R. We are just trying to find the best placement right now.... Our goal is low 9's with the setup we are running who knows what'll happen. If that doesn't happen then comes a friend called the GT42R.... the only downfall to that is we are trying to keep this a GASOLINE car. with the GT42R it'll be real hard to do without methanol or something...


Also the Jackass that WAS buying the turbo back out at the last possible sencond, I really hate that... so up for sale in case anyone know of anyone looking for a nice turbo I still have the FP3052 setup for sale. Need to sell fast.. help!

Ohh Yeah, There as far as where there putting in the Tennessee water, I don't know but when I look into that water I see the reflecion of the GSX going 9's... lol

If you are going for 9's, you may want to go with bigger injectors. Unless I'm not seeing something...

Anybody else agree??

I'd go bigger with that setup no matter what my goals. Better safe than sorry.

Yeah, he is going with bigger injectors. I not sure which ones he is planing on running, but he is running close to 100% duty cycle on the 720s with the FP3052 setup he has now.

100% duty cycle on 720cc injectors... WOW... to hell with pictures when you are done, I want to see a video!!!

So you want to know where to place the turbo, huh? Well, the obvious answer is in my car!..........Please?

Just checking in to say I love your enthusiasm. I can feel the excitement in your post. As for your injector size choice (and this will be an ignorant question do to my lack of knowledge on MSnS), what do you do about dead time on the bigger injectors?

I know I don't belong in this section, haha but I'm curious as to what this means... Never heard of it before. Seriously

Injector dead time is the time it takes for the injector to respond to an open command from the ECU.

I'm guessing what he his asking is: How is he going to get it to idle well with large injectors? There will be some trade off for running the large injectors. "It will be harder to get it to idle smooth with the larger injectors".

Ok thank you for clearing that up for me.

It's really up to you :shrug I like #2 though.

ok, with the fp3052 with my that setup, I was running 27psi of boost with 42psi fuel presure & 86% duty cycle on the Greddy 720cc injectors. I am upgrading to 4 1000cc injectors so yeah fuel is taken care of.... Damn I wish that GT4088R would get here....

Amber from Forced Performance called me last night, it is confirmed, the GT4088R will be here on tues. Also I have 3 choices of placement to choose from.

1. Running half a radiator & placing Turbocharger where the driverside Rad. fan would be with he 4 inch inlet butted against the front air dam. Kinda kinda shep has done but on the other side.

2. Placing the Turbocharger identical to Shearer has done in the picture above.

3. Placing turbo right above the tranny with the Turbo kinda sticking out of the hood a little for a little forced air...



Please help..... Chose 1, 2, 3... or with any other sugestions. place photos or describe. I need o make this decision within a week.. please help guys....

how much for that fp turbo? oh, go with option 3 if you can make it work.

1.
2 & 3 are too much work. ;)

The FP3052 setup is for sale for 1900.00 or best offer, it is a damn good setup as anyone would know that has seen my car ran or has rode in it at higher boost levels. I need an offer soon or it will be going on joes car (BOOSTEDECLIPSE).

On the other note, still wondering how to place the turbocharger. theres nothing too hard or complicated for us here at MFG Racing...
on choice 1,2, or 3.....

1900 for a fp3052 ?? Am i missing something ? Does it come with a manifold, o2 housing , wastegate , downpipe and a big tit chick who loves to suck the cock?



----------------------------------------
GT35 and stuff.
Lucky Number 6 ...

Actually, it comes with a SBR Manifold, FP3052 Turbocharger, Tial 40mm Wastegate, Dump tube, SS o2 housing. Nuts, bolts, Spacer, gaskets ETC... everything new totals up to aroud 2500.00. This stuff was barely used, still pretty much new.

I really want to come and see some of this stuff if you guys have the time. That's really some bad ass stuff ya'll have going on. Your car and Doug's are going to be crazy.

Matt's little freind. :P

GT4088R vs. 14B

Nice Turbo.

Damn. Pictures like that make my pants tight. :P

No, that was probably the 2lb burrito you ate for dinner. Snails like that make my pants WET!

Exhaust housing right on the intercooler pipe? :-o I'm sure that's just a mach up but I dunno man..

Those pics were taken while mach up was being done. battery, upeer ic pipe, rad hose, all being modified. not 100% sure if that will be the location, we have 1 other option that may work out better... Still could use some ideas though.....

That looks insane. lol at the 14b

I say go with the top-mount. All your fab time is into one piece, the manifold. You also have the option to run a filter, which I wouldn't understand why you wouldn't want to - too much at stake. Plus, it just looks clean.

Are you sure you can spool that!?

Why wouldn't I be able to spool it. Spooling will not be a problem... If it should become a problem I have a Direct Port Nitrous System ready to rock....


An update on the car, the drivetrain is back together, the dash is close to being done. The 10pt. chromoloy cage is in the works of being installed as is the chute mount. pictures to follow soon...

Car is going to be on a level all its own.

Keep up the good work. I cannot wait until I have a garage like that to work in one day.

You and doug dont play around do you?

Nice! Nice!

MB

Wicked, man. Absolutely wicked. You are going to have a 2GNT decal on there somewhere, right? }(

Brian... I need some 2GNT.com decals... where can I get a few?

Rollcage install on the Blue Demon starts this weekend... as soon as the transmission is back in the Green Beast (heavily modified clutch fork is now done). Surface prep for welding the rollcage to the car is going to be a bitch.

I was kidding. It's big, but it's not the Thumper. You're probably revving long with a 2.0L or hard with a stroker (since I don't know too much about your power plant). This car should be crazy. I'd really enjoy as many pics during and after the build. Chosen how you're going to mount it yet?

The motor will stay 2.0

As far as turbo placement, it's all going to come down to the intercooler. After discussing this with Matt tonight, we're most likely going with a water/air intercooler... as this is mostly a track car. This will also allow us to move the turbo over and lengthen the runners some more.

who the hell are you people? I live in middle-Tn and I don't know any of you.

I'm in Murfreesboro.

Can't wait to see this all together. So did your girl do the welding on the cage Matt? And I hope you don't break that fork again. REALLY looking forward to next season for Doug's car to break Hahn's record.

This is Roman with the candy red eclipse btw.

Pics? Updates? Do you think 720cc's are enough injector?

No pics or updates right now, I just got back from the smokey mnts. a family member has past away 11.1.06 RIP Carl Thompson. so things have been put on hold for a bit. I am going to start out with some 1295cc injectors for a low boost tune. then once we can achieve 40+ psi then I will be installing the 1600cc injectors. however look forword for some more pics & videos of the green beast. SOON! more updates on mine in a week or two.....

:evilgrin

I apologize for the loss. I'll definately keep my eyes open.

OK, After 4 months of not doing anything with the car, we finally get some time. We have changed a few things. We have started on the tubular manifold. It's looking nice! We changed to a newer intercooler, ETA: Wed March 28. Coil On Plug ignition, 90mm 3.5" Throttle body. adj rear control arms. And LOTS of weight reduction. Ohhhh yea, The 4 1600cc injectors came in from RCENG. today, nice.... Since we are not building this car to run in any specific classes we will be able to free up alot of weight. 10 point KKC sent me a 10 point chromoly Roll Cage & Chute mount. We have chosen to keep the GT4088R for now & play around with it before we run the GT4202R. Pictures SOON to follow....

Can't wait to see them! Sounds like it is going to be a kick ass setup! I just picked up a set of RC 1600's myself (not that I am going to come close to outflowing them anytime soon). You guys must be pumped for this year :)

33.5" x 11" x 4"



RC ENG. 1600cc



much more to come this weekend...

A peek at whats going on..... besides a paint job......

Nice turbo, my brother has one in his garage for his vette- but his is a gt45r... whats the difference?

The difference from a GT4088R & A GT45R well well, the GT45R IS A BIG BIOTCH. Don't get me wrong, the 4088R is a nice turbo, but for making big power on a V8, the 45R is an awesome turbocharger.

new to thread...i just had to change my shorts. nice tuuuuuurbo.

Can some in Tampa help me tune my 98 eclipse?I have the Hahn portfueler and the FP3052.It's running a little too rich.
