Re: 3400hp of turbo's
Im waiting for my 2g dsm fuse box to finish wiring....
That is just a mock-up motor, not the real thing (aka I can weld to it, get it dirty, drop it, I don't care).

Re: 3400hp of turbo's
I don't like it. Paint the hood blue and keep the tint less. looks more like a stock car then. (sleeper)

Re: 3400hp of turbo's
It probably won't be tinted, he was fucking around with it. I'll be running the carbon fiber hood eventually. It'll probably have plenty of miles of regular hood, just comes down to the fact of (when I get to that point) mods...

Re: 3400hp of turbo's
One down one to go.
Its just tacked together, but already supports the weight of the turbo  .
We'll mock-up the front one now, then the downpipes/o2 housings. Weld it all together, and rip that motor back out. Then its time to finish up the real thing and put it in.

I know that. I was just refering to the carbon fiber hood, IMO I would like to see it painted blue or something that is mostly blue with maybe some carbon showing. (ie: a design of some sort) anyrate it's your car do what you want. It's going to freeking hall ass and look good regardless.
Also I notice your intake is also on the side of the turbo's. won't the heat from the back turbo heat up the intake being so close? also how is the intercooller piping going to be run? won't it hit the hood or are you going to clock the housing or something?
I'm sure you have it worked out. I'm just curious/anxious I guess to see the finished product.

Yeah, I agree about the hood. They do offer a carbon/blue weave hood, that might look good.
The rear compressor cover is how it is, we'll have to pull it off and run a 90 off it. The intercooler piping is already figured out.
The back turbo being where it is a concern for the intake stream. The upper pipe will be polished, then heat wrapped, LOL! That is a Q45 90mm throttle body, and we'll be running a 3" intake to it. There is enough room to clear the turbo (barely), but again, it is a very tight squeeze. These basterds just don't fit! I could have moved them more forward and down, but that huge throttlebody has thrown a kink in the system.
The turbo's will be shielded and Jet hot coated, along with the manifolds. I am already running AN06 water lines for the turbos as well as AN oil feed and drain. Even my heater core will be damm near hardpiped to the motor. I am trying to move as much stuff away from the turbo's as possible.
The front turbo now is the pita. We had to relocate the fuse box, run slim fans, and cut off my shiftercable counter weight in order for us to think its going to work.
The reason I am not worrying about stuff "Moving" is the chrome moly front and rear SOLID motor mounts that will be going in.
Justin- Me too!
