  1. Default Twin turbo mustang intake

    Been doing a bit of welding on the intake side of a twin turbo setup. Few pics of the progress so far.

    Is this your car? Will this be street legal? Tell us a little about the motor part. I'm guessing to be twin turbo you have to have a stout bottom end?

    Not my car, but potentially street legal, although I doubt it will ever see the street. Motor did right around 800HP N/A and they ran the car that way. Owner immediately decided it was too slow and opted for turbos.

    I can see that, 800 to the wheels is nothing ... Nice welding (and massive snails). I take it you will you be welding all of the tubing to connect everything up? You know you'll need at least a few people to test drive to ensure everything is in order before handing it back to the owner, don't you?
    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    So with the twin turbos will it have an additional 800 hp? I think I had read somewhere that a single turbo gave up to 50% more horse power? Not sure if that is correct.

    I would think 800hp would be under 10 sec quarter mile.

    You can pretty much make as much HP as you want with either single or twin turbos.

    My bike is only about 160rwhp stock, and 480rwhp with a single turbo. Only limits are really at the extremes (over 2000HP applications) just due to the physical size of the compressors required.

    Welds look good!

    And those are some big snails... Definitely looks like a drag car with all that weight up front and water to air IC's in the dash.

    I like the tubing routing. I definitely wish I had gone out of the engine compartment on my Mustang.

    Is your bike the one in your Avatar? Is it a 750, 1000?
    What your guesstimate on what a stock bottom end of a GSXR 1000 can handle as far as boost?

    It is a hayabusa.

    You could probably run a completely stock 1000 to low to mid 200's. I don't really have alot of experience with the liter bikes, and even less with street applications for liter bikes.
    If you build the bottom ends, over 500hp is possible with the liter bikes as well.

    It did 10.0's on just the motor. I have no clue how much it will make after it's all said and done. Depends a lot on how much boost that motor will take. Maybe we'll get a chance to put it on a chassis dyno sometime.

    It has water to air intercoolers in the dash, which is why the piping is running from the turbo back through the firewall. Then, after the intercoolers, it will come right out of the firewall and hit the throttle body and intake elbow.

    Looks like right out of Mad Max movies. Awesome! Sounds great and I bet will be a blast at the track.
