Twin Turbo Test drive *vid*

[smashedheadcat]

This is the first time she's moved under turbo power. I've got a few exhaust leaks possibly and some oil drain back issues with the driver's side turbo. (that's what the smoke is) I'll have to find a fix for that. Enjoy!

why is it smoking

 

[Sonik Blur]

Holy crap!! That's incredible! You did all that in your garage? You must be very automotively savy! I would love to do that to my Cobra but I bet that cost a fortune. I can't wait to see some numbers! Nice touch with the Megadeth, I haven't heard that song in a while, LOL!!

Damn Cobra+turbos=Freakin sick

 

[DR. WU 2000]

Look forward to seeing more. Looks like a lot of 03-04' owners are going turbo. If I only had the money.........

 

[InfamousSVT]

Well since he hasn't got to answering the questions yet.............

He's got the HP twin kit, with a Stinger cat-back and a 97 GT solid axle.
He did all the work himself in his garage, he also has a 97 Cobra that's is forged and blown. He's a very good guy and knows what he's doing when it comes to his Cobra's.


Looking Good Josh...........you need to post this up on the Club's site also man! :beer:

 

[Sp3nis]

that video was a freakin tease! lol

 

[smashedheadcat]

Thanks for the props guys. Like infamous said: the rear is out of my 97 cobra actually, and the exhaust is HP's headers and off road h-pipe with the stinger setup. It's smoking from the driver's side bank because of oil drainback issues on that side. The turbos sit too low and make drainback a problem. I need to figure out what to do about that before I drive it too much. I did all the work in my garage. I just put an hour or two in it at a time, and eventually everything was done. I'm not big time mechanic, just don't mind getting dirty. I could have gotten everything installed for around $1500-2000 but I decided I could do it all myself and keep some change in my pocket. It's not too tough of an install, just need to get the pipes in the right place. I'll post more vids once I get this oil drain stuff taken care of.

 

[smashedheadcat]

Oh yeah, my waste gates are external. I'm running 1 tial 38mm wastegate on each bank.

 

[DSG2003]

Can't wait too see more.

 

[Kovachian]

It's examples like this that inspire me to save up for a house with a big garage, just so I can do all work myself. That way my clumsy ass can ruin all my cars and I'll have no one else to blame! Awesome work, keep it up!

 

[GeoSnake]

Josh!
Long time, no see man! The '03 is really coming along! It's always refreshing to find someone who does most of their own work! Good job!
