this may sound cheap to some guys and expensive to others..but since i do all the work myself, for myself i have a great amount of control as to what it cost me..
it does include the large intercooler..
now, all that being said--this twin system should be kept at low boost because nothing is done to the engine managment-or engine itself.. lower compression,forged pistons and more fuel would be the way to go for serious HP..
on this sc400 i will eventually add 8 more injectors and an in house extra injection controller a friend is developing for me.. again, i have had great success running extra injctors which come on when boost comes on.. anyway, im gonna try posting a pic again--if not i will be back online late tonight..

But no doubt, more power to all of us if there are more turbo SC out there.

Nice work! Finally, all the talks are gone. I am so glad u got it done. Your setup looks very similar to mine single turbo. I have a T70 right now, but putting in a Garrett GT40 next week.
Very soon, Ryan aka SC400T will have his Single Turbo SC400. He is using the same GT turbo.

Thanks for the kudos David, looking forward to completing the project, and the proposed Shootout in Texas in 05
I looked at a TT seriously, but was not willing to give up my AC. I live in FL. It is hot and humid, especially in the summer...
As far as making the SC300 guys sweat, we're all family here. It's great for any and all who accomplish FI. My goal is also that I want a quick and fast street car, not a track car. So, although HP is important, it is but one component of many to consider when designing your FI application.
Again, Kudos on the work with the TT
Awesome...Ryan

awesome project!! I cant wait to see it in person! tell your friend to bring it around the the chicago meets. It sounds like its going good, Let us know when its all done. What kind of HP is it putting out? i take it you havent taken it to the dyno yet. Hopefully he will be able to have some fun before it snows...

by the way, I am assuming its a White SC? Because mine is white and people have confused me with Quikturbo's car a few times... and its really embarrassing to tell them that its not his, and its 2-3 seconds slower....

man, alot of posts..
quick turbo-- my shop is in palatine.. cmracing..
ive been around here for a while--small shop.. the car (lexus) is not mine, i m putting it together for a friend.. right now i have an mr2 i should be working on ..i just sold a turbod 4age paseo that was kinda fast-- you might have seen that around..
lextreme--it looks like you and me had the same idea as to placing the turbo.. did you run the downpipe past the ac compressor? or did you go around to the other side? the steering is on that side also, so it is kinda tight around there..
someone asked how long it took me.. this one(the 1st) took me about 5 weeks--but i did other work also..
id say it should take me 2-4 weeks from start to finish depending on how busy i am..
as for the ac? i am not the kinda person that would say it cant be installed also, but in this case, it was easier to remove it.. this car will evevntually make some serious HP,(hopefully)..and in chicago it really only gets hot for 2 months..
now i did take some good pics today, but i will try and upload them-i need to goto fuji online and down load something .. il try and get back to this thread tonight..
