While I'm waiting on my new motor, I figured I would mock up the setup on the old one on the engine stand. A few things I want to change are the clocking of the passenger side turbo so the oil drain drops straighter and make a few exhaust connections tighter.



The turbos are off 87-88 thunderbirds and are IHI RHB5s.

thats fucken awesome!! looks like johnny has some competition

 

those turbos are smaller than mine i think?

where'd you get that intercooler and how much

i need one

 

Thanks, man.

The intercooler was from HP performance and was 740.
The turbos are smaller than the big T3s but use a T3 flange. It is hard to find specs on these IHIs.

I know notthing about twisted twins..................

 

Nice!

holy ---- 740 dollars for that cooler! damn

 

wow, very nice setup but i have one question. would you need two blow off valves? at first i thought that you would need two, but since both turbo charge pipes are connecting to the same end tank on the i/c all the boost would just find its way out to the atmosphere because its the lowest pressure?



nice setup

 

yeah man lookin pretty sweet so far... good luck on it

 

wow looks insane dude. but rhb5's are tiny tiny turbo's. wouldn't you want something a lil bigger for a 5.0 liter? somethin like a .42/.48.

and holy huge engine bay. from the way that stuff is sitting it looks like your bay is 3 times the size of my civic lol. damn!

goodluck with it dude
