ROBS 6a13tt TWIN GARRETT UPGRADE

[Macca]

did you divide by zero when you wrote that post?

HAHAHA. That is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

Will be great to see the outcome of this, pioneering the way.

just a side note on those V clamps, thats aircraft tech used on jet turbine components that have substantial temperatures applied to them. Should hold up well to what you want.

Got some more pics of latest progress but first to answer some questions

Trevor im aiming at 300+awkw with the auto if all goes well.

Tomas if you were talking about my car I will be using a full stand alone ECU not a piggy back.

Steve P its all good buddy

Now some pics. Here is the front turbo and manifold. The manifold was a prick to fab cos its so small but steam pipe was used and looks weren't important, flow was.

This is the rear turbo mounted. Check out the gap between the firewall and turbo there is almost a 2.5" gap no need to bash in the fire wall.

next pics will be of the new oil and coolant lines.

What are your plans with radiator and fans etc?

I may have also missed but what are you doing for heat shields on the turbo's? Or are you putting bags on the exhaust housings?

P.S, they are MASSIVE compared to our pee shooters.

new manifolds must help space a lot!

Looking great!

The custom manifolds really save lots of space so there is no need to trim fans or move the radiator. If your talking about water temp I think the stock radiators work very well.

As for the heat shields I think I might leave the front one off and for the rear a custom heat shield might be fabricated.

Why did you not opt for a more tuned length on the manifolds? Surely with a little bit of 'octopus'-ing, you could get them neatly and create better flow? The front manifold looks like it wouldn't flow all that well?

Good on you for taking this on, as with everyone else, very excited to see the outcome.

Also, any shots of the rear manifold?

Hey Joel yeah we tried for tuned lengths but there simply isn't enough room to fit them in especially once everything like the radiator and fans are put back in. Trust me dude that manifold flows very nicely, and sorry man no shots of the rear manifold.

That looks absolutely awesome! Big ups for jumping in the deep end, I've been given the inspiration!

Easy as Keep those pics coming mate.

Congrats on the project, looks like it's going well so far, am looking forward to seeing what sort of power it makes like everyone else, also intrigued to know when these turbos make boost. You are definitely set to potentially make a serious amount of power. I'll be keeping an eye on the thread for sure.

 

[kymbo]

nice going so far. just wondering roughly how much has it cost to get the custom manifolds made

 

[snickells]

Robby you show off

Hey Kim, cos I know the blokes over at CREATD MOTORSPORT they have worked out a package for all labour costs so I don't really know what they cost on their own. I can ask them and get back to you.

Robby you show off

Steven I am trying to inspire more people to follow in my footsteps

 

[sanchez]

Well done rob, super happy for you consider someone inspired!

 

[jet150]

I got some pics of the new oil and water lines. I would also like to thank all the positive feedback and support from OZVR4 members.

Here's the front oil lines made from bungy tube and the braided water line.

Here are the rear oil lines finished

Here's the cooler bolted in.

 

[smitty]

Rob I so hate you right now.... So jealous.

 

[unclepaulie]

nice progress, she's gonna howl like a banshee when it comes on. hope you crack the 300 mark....you probably piss it in with some decent tuning

 

[VR-4Fan]

Looking COOL

 

[AUSVR4]

It's definitely getting there quickly! Good work so far
