Well...it has begun. Finally slapping a turbo on my GT. Got to drive the shit out of the coyote N/a and it was a blast. Went a best of 12.14 @ 115 w/ 1.78 60' on 18" drag radials...my original plan was to buy a house and hold off on the turbo build til next winter or so and just do suspension and other cheaper upgrades to better my N/a time...well you know how that goes. lol looks like I'll be living with mom a little while longer.
So this will be a single turbo build. Turbo of choice is a Borg Warner S476R billet wheel, 87mm turbine wheel with 1.10 A/R. This will be a complete custom build except for the headers from CG fab. CG made the headers so that I can still run power steering and A/C while still having forward facing headers. This time around to keep fab time down, I am just doing down pipe right out the side of the bumper...something I always hated but have grown to like more and more. However, eventually this thing will get full exhaust.
Turbo has been ordered.
Headers are already here thanks to CG Fab, drivers side test fitted, haven't gotten to dropping the K to get to the passenger side yet.
Hot side piping is ordered for headers to turbo. Some good Ol 304 stainless mandrel bends ready to be cut up and welded together.
Everyone might have followed my Coyote Swap thread...but here is how it looked when we finished back in august and how it looked until this past weekend.
And it begins...
More to come! As you can tell the drivers side fits with TONS of room to spare. Good job CG Fab! However it looks rather tight on the passenger side to fit around the A/C compressor!
How I left it on sunday...My helper, aka my younger brother Dillon had to leave to go back to school so I wasn't up for dropping the k member by myself to tackle the drivers side header!
