Got the manifolds glass beaded and put together. Crazy how much room is in between the upper and the block. I'm trying to decide what to do with all that extra space.



Ignore the pullies, I'm probably going to be using a serpintine belt setup that should garauntee no slipping.



Now to try to find a turbo!





the car in the background is an e production car that was on speed channel this weekend. Jr has all the goodies.

haven't done the math yet, but looking at the porting it's gonna have to have some lungs. Ken at cheapturbo thought a gt40 would do the trick. I'm open to opinions tho!

for the serpentine belt system use the 13bt waterpump with the cosmo pulley, you can run a cosmo crank pulley and an FD alt with the stock pulley. savings of like 350 bucks over buying a kit to do the same.

Christopher Lowell would suggest creating an additional sitting area with extra space. You could use a short bookshelf or a table to divide it from the other areas.

hey,



the extension off the TB is that stock 13bre or aftermarket? looks like a nice piece for 13bt's converting to FMICs.

its stock, but the tb size and bolt pattern is different, AND the cosmo/fd tb is upsidedown from the t2 tb
