HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

Been a part of this board for a while now. I see it's mostly geared towards Honda so rarely post. But since I recently completed a new twinturbo layout I thought I'd share (after all it's still Home Made ;D )
Here's a 1.9kb vid

I ran the old set-up at close to 12#'s but I'm working on a newer fuel system with this one, so I have the gates set for 5#'s as of now. the plan is to run 15#'s and still keep the A/C!
I have a bad turbo cartridge on the pass. side I believe (notice the puff of smoke off when lifting from the throttle) so I'm going to ust upgrade to some t-3/t-4 hybrids in the near future (need the funds)
more pics can be seen on my homepage.

cool ---- man. we need sound though!

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

It has sound, you need WMP7 or have the Codec installed to hear sound on an older player. The sound is the best part!

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

hm i have the latest version of wmp... can't we download it without going to the website somehow?

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

Nice.Whats up with the dents on the mani?

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

I could hear it, especially that bov. Bet the neigbors luv you. Nuthin like gas guzzlein cubic inches. My next project is my Monte ls, I wanna turbo the 5.0, then build up a good bottom end 350 +10. That driveway must be rough.

LOL, gas guzzlin? Man I get the same 20-21 mpg that I got before I ever modded the car. Now if I keep my foot in the gas, sure it changes things. Not to mention, my Prelude gets just slightly better mileage but nowhere near the performance! Go figure?
Blow-off valve, where, on what--- my car? Nope not at the present time. I have one and even have a spot picked out rite where the discharge pipes "Y" together before the intercooler. I haven't took the time to weld it in since rite now, I still need to get the tune in order. But with the measly 5#'s of boost I'm running, I just don't see the point. What you're hearing are the wastegates and the turbos spoolin.
Lastly, the dimples were added after reading some info on air flow in a log style header. The dimples were added in between the primary ports (in pairs) to add turbulance (where the ports meet) and speed up scavenging. How much it helps, I don't know. But the engineering theory seemed sound when I read it, so I figured why not.

LOL, naah the folks over there are used to me doing things like that. I don't live where I work on my cars/toys. The "hood" is a lot more understanding. Now over here in my residential neck of the woods, they would probably raise an eye brow or two. Especially with it being like 11 in the afternoon and I'm making passses! (Notice the guy cutting the lawn? He never even looks twice, lol. He's seen me do it so much!)

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

rofl the guy cutting the lawn hahaha to funny.
good stuff

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

LMAO, all the guys at my shop were laughing at the guy cutting the lawn as your smoking tires up the street and ----, hahah! I love it ;D

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

no bov, then wtf was that loud ass ppppsssssssshhhhhh as you let off the gas? just wonderin. never was a big ford fan, unless it's a truck. but anything that is worked over gets the tip of my hat. stock bottom end? 21mpg in a stang :o unheard of. my buddies got a n/a stang and drives it from station to station. man, i know i hear a bov, then again, maybe my speakers just suck. afterall, you would know better then i. ;)

It sounds like an eagle screeming or something... thats one sick ass ride.

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

There isn't blowoff valve the first in my car. Look over the pics (hit my webpage, has a link to the install) as I have detailed pics of all my charge piping (it's easy to spot as it's all primer gray for now). The sound you're hearing are the wastegates. The turbos are straight off a couple of JY Chryslers on into my car! (though one does need some seals/bearings)

Stock as far as the rods, crank but I'm using some forged pistons (stock replacement TRW's). I got some high dollar AFR CNC Aluminum heads, mild cam, and a seriously reworked Cobra upper and lower.
If your buds gas mileage is as bad as you say, he needs some tuning done. Something is amiss.

i'm not shittin ya, there isn't blow off the first on the car. If you listen as I come to a stop to let the car pass. You can actually hear the wastegates opening/closing seperately. When I'm shifting, it's a bit harder to tell them apart. but when I come to a slow, the one on the driver side (closest to the intake) closes first every time.

Yeah AbaZ, I told Terry (the guy cutting the lawn) that I put him on the net. He replied (with his thick Texas Accent) Da net?! Is that anything like the WEB??

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

His is carbed, that's probably it. ::) He does strip cars for a living, never tells me exactly what he did, smart street racer... but I know it's got alot. He runs mid/low tens w/ d.s. 100 shots.
bov: you would know, it is your car.

I don't want to start an argument but out of all the vehicles I've had, my del sol is the most economical. Plus I have driven lots of vehicles. The numbers released aren't always correct.

This is list in order of owning them.

1995 Chrysler Cirrus V6 (not bad economy)
1998 Chev 1500 W/T (shitty all around with gay governer)
1999 Honda Prelude SE (shity with the foot down)
1995 Honda Civic Del Sol VTEC (Best, can go almost 2 weeks on a fill)

Re:HMT V-8 STYLE!
 

what is your point. our point is mustang don't get THAT BAD of gas mileage. everyone knows a 100ci i4 will get good gas mileage. but thanks for pointing that out
