Feng Shui (The 510 Experiment) (Pics fixed through page 7..)

[Josh K.]

Smaller garage.... 510 is going against the wall while the S4 is fixed and then it's back to making progress again. 

 

I'm contemplating going turbo. appx. 275whp. Haven't decided yet... 

[its_karl]

I so know that feeling, hate when a huge dump gets taken on my already big to-do list.

[captaingamez]

awesome build man.

 

I love turbo, I also love NA.

 

theres just something about the violent throttle response available with NA that makes me more excited.

 

that said, Im building a big ol turbo 300 whp 910 as well.

 

 

 

theres a company called Rywire that does harnesses with the Mil Spec connectors like that, looks totally awesome.

[Josh K.]

Thank you sir!

 

I started down the turbo road. Her'es my list

 

S14 BB T28

Mazworx KA24DE D.I.Y Turbo Manifold Kit (Ramhorn Style)  http://www.mazworx.com/product/fabrication-materials/diy-turbo-manifold-kits/nissan/mazworx-ka24de-diy-turbo-manifold-kit-ramhorn-style

550c Injectors

NismotronicsSA

GM IAT sensor

Omni Power 3 Bar map sensor

PWM Electronic Boost Solenoid

Innovate MTX-L Wideband

Bell Intercooler 2.25" x 12.1" x 18" with Custom End Tanks. I'll design it to fit my specific setup.

 

No MAF. Running MAP (Speed Density Based). Looking to get between 275-300whp with equal torque numbers.

 

I ordered the Manifold kit and will make a bottom mount with the turbo mounted towards the front of the engine and angled so I can run a brake booster and not cook the master.... Next is intercooler and ECU setup. It's gonna be all customs shit and done right. Can't make the intercooler till the turbo is mocked up. Then the intercooler is waiting on the decision to either run the stock intake manifold (that I have 30hrs into) or buy a new cast manifold that has a better angled throttle body which will help with intercooler design and piping.

 

Stay tuned. Gotta move the car this month and once finished focus on the S4. For now it's planning and accumulating parts. The car will get done, just expanding the scope of the project a little.

[Josh K.]

This is gonna be fun ;)

 

[Josh K.]

Did a little mock up. I was planning on running a brake booster but the Turbo would have to go another 2" forward. I still might do that but will have to bolt up the booster and test fit. I wont have time to work on it for a month but wanted to see how it fit.... intercooler comes Monday and I'll probably order all the nismotronics stuff then also :-)

 

 

 

[Josh K.]

Decided to test fit the brake booster. Looks fine. I'll make remote reservoir adapters and she'll be fine!

 

 

[Josh K.]

Oh yeah  :thumbup:

 

 

 

[mklotz70]

Building a radiator! Awesome!  This I'm very interested in!!!  Please document as much as possible :)   Where did you get the core material?  Are you going to custom build the tanks?

[Josh K.]

That's the intercooler core. Bar and Plate from Bell Intercoolers http://www.bellintercoolers.com/index.html

[Josh K.]

Yes custom end tanks to fit my setup just how I want  :w00t:

[mklotz70]

Oh ya......I remember you mentioned turbo.  I'm not a turbo fan, but I'll be eagerly watching the exhaust work and the "radiator" :)   Thanks!!

[Josh K.]

Here's the Radiator and intercooler. Radiator is 3" thick and Intercooler is 2.25" Thick. Same dimension height and width.

 

 

[Josh K.]

Project is still moving. Just needed to get moved  and fix the Audi. That's all done and the S4 is purring ;) ... bought a band saw for cutting the exhaust pieces.....

 

I just ordered the stainless bits today for the exhaust from the turbo to basically under the floor. Once I get to that point I'll order the rest.

 

3" SS all the way and all v-banded.

 

 

Picking up the tri-mix gas for my mig today so I can tack stuff together. Once done it will all be tig'ed. Gonna get the turbo set in place and a frame to hold it while I build the manifold to it. Should have progress pics this weekend.

 

-Josh

[Josh K.]

Got all my parts.

 

 

I needed a bandsaw so I decided on modifying a harbo freight wood saw to cut stainless. I need to slow it down from 500sfm to 100sfm. I bought a 1hp 1750rpm motor and a 5:1 gear reduction box. Got it all together today so now I can start on my manifold and exhaust!

K guys. I decided having the car at home was not working for me or the woman. I decided to rent a shop with 2 buddies. 30x48, heated with a bathroom. After vacation and the flu I finally got the car moved this weekend. Now I can get some shit done as I don't have to worry about noise or dust.

Ahhh, makes more sense. :confused:  :blush:  OK i was super tired. Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
