heres the deal, its my first build, and its a smidge ghetto. I spent just over 1100, including an extra t3 and injectors. its just a basic sr t25 and band aid build, with the addition of a saab bar and plate i/c. i have a wideband for tuning, but im waiting on a fuel pressure gauge before the fuel is worked out. I cant wait until this thing is up and boosting. if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks to Joe Perez for the pre build help and my roomate bill b.

 

damn, i have a liecense plate heat sheild too!

 

Hey Dirty --
Those pictures aren't of California are they? If they are -- What county or city in California?

 

no sir,

car was turbocharged at my school in Michigan (northwood U), though I hail from Vista, Ca.

 

looking good... I'm tempted to weld a bunch of my old license plates together and make a full heat shield. seems like a fitting use for the scrap material.

 

Looks nice; less ghetto than mine, certainly!

 

DIY manifold and downpipe? How did you run the intercooler piping, im having a tough time figuring how you got it to work.

 

What's up with the gun stickers? You a gangsta?

Nice job on the turbo kit.

 

props to you for spending only $1100 and still using t-bolts..you my hero, lol

 

i dunno, but i'm gonna copy this design

 

+1 for heat shield

 

I like the clearance dent

 

those are painted on AKs, not stickers


Downpipe and mani were purchased from bell for under 200 bucks, t25 cost me 80 bones too. i/c is a saab and runs under the rad

 

I'd copy my design:

 

DAMN!

Hood pins on the trunk is nice too.

 

damn scott, that would constitute 11 couplers=22 clamps...holy shizznit, you can pull your motor out without disconnecting the intercooler you got so much movement...lol
but i though you were running a differnet intercooler, is this your old set up?

 

the difference between the one i posted and this one is just the under or around approach right? Yeah i wasn't planning on running it under the radiator anyhoot, but its nice to have a visual, thanks!

 

you dont have to use all the couplers, but it gives you an idea on how to route it using pre-fabbed bends.
