That tubing is pretty killer, but it is really expensive, especially when you start buying bends. We did put a short sytem on a twin turbo vega and had restriction issues. I think its because its not available in 5 or 6 inch, which would probably be what you would need.

I need to get exhaust past the Trans Pan I can only sneak 3.5" Pipe barely past it then I can step up to 5 or 6" Exhaust. I don't think that Ground clearance will be an issue being that it would only be 1 to 1.5" Lower than a 3" System would be.

I also like the idea of going to 5" right at the bottom of the car and have the exhaust exit right behind both front tires. I really like that look and I can get Stoned off exhaust fumes on a regular basis!! haaaaaaa:-D
 
Hi Louis,

the champion radiator looks like it´s what i want for my car. Can you supply their part number? It fit´s between the frame rails?

btw: nice work! This will be a real MAD DART!!!

Thanks!

Yes it fits in the stock location and mounting holes. I only needed to drill 1 hole in the radiator bracket on the passenger lower side.

This radiator has 3-1 inch Cores.
I also needed to order it reversed so the upper hose was on the drivers side and the lower on the passenger. You need to specify that or it will be sent out wrong. The Electric Fan you see will not work cause it hits the water pump pully. 2 10" fans mounted staggered would work or you could just use your stock shroud and fan etc.

Again, get ahold of them and tell them to reverse the inlet and outlet.

I ran into a bust in the build. Need to change out the straight AN Fittings at the Turbo to 45* to keep the lines away from the Waste Gate pipe that will be cut in.

It is pretty tight in there so I am possibly going to dump the waste straight to atmosphere out of the gates............we will see! The other way I was going to do it was to tap back into the exhaust on the turbo exhaust out......I am hoping I can still do that.

Ha I saw a friend in the Safeway lot today and he waved me over,really excited about something. So I pullled in beside the car and heres a friend of my friend apparently finishing up a turbo install on a V6 Dynasty,lol! Single turbo and a stock motor. Sounds like maybe 400h.p to me but he figures 500. Maybe if the turbo is cranked to 30 psi...

Why not run the waste gate tubing under the K member, and join it into the downpipes by the transmission?

It would take a little more tubing, but you would avoid the noise of them dumping to atmosphere, and keep a little more of your stealth factor?

I thought about that but this car will likely see some AIR TIME leaving the line at 5k on a Transbrake. Also with how low it will sit they may get destroyed quickly! That is why I kept the exhaust off the header flange above the K Frame that feeds the turbo's. It would have been alot easier to put them below............ still in the mock up phase, I will come up with something.
 
WOW....Awesome work...You really do have mad skills man...Keep it up... Maybe ya should have went with an alterkation? Just for more, wow factor! lol.

Yeah it sure is a very nice piece they make but the price is like GOLD, they want too much for them.......I would probably build my own when it comes time for about $1000.00 or so.

This is true of most of RMS's products. They are quite pricey and I've never seen Bill put it on sale either.
 
Where on earth do you find all the time to work on this car! im loving seeing all these updates frequently though.

Just a note about venting the wastegate to atmosphere. Its F-ING loud under boost! Ever hear a small block with open manifolds? Thats what it sounds like!

I can't hear you what did you say? Haaa:toothy10:

No for real though, I will find a way to tap them into the exhaust!

Louis is just as mad as his Dart,lol!! Waaaaaaaayyy too much energy!

I wish you were up here. I need help with my Dart,lol. And I like the way you do things,pretty well the same as me.
 
Just out of curiousity, did you use restrictor fittings on the turbos' oil feed lines? I heard they are supposed to have them.

Yes I did. I am using .080 restrictors but I may drill them out to .120 or so.

They are by the distributor in one of the pictures coming off the oil feed.

Here they are, the two shiny thing a magiggers............

Well I worked on the car all flipping day long and got my azzzz kicked today. I seem to get more done in 2 hour blasts.

I have been keeping track of my hours and right now I have 26 Hours Total on the Mock up...............alot more than that starring at it and buying/ordering parts, running to Ace Hardware, Home Depot etc.

Wastegates are cut in. Everything is clearanced and will fit, I made sure of it today!!!


This is what I have left to do.........

1) I have the wastegates exhaust out to cut into the Turbo exhaust out
2) Plumb the intake tract and cut in the Blow Off valves
3) Make up the exhaust on the bottom of the car.
4) Make some Triangulated type of bracing off the heads on each side to support the Turbo's at the flanges!

I should hopefully have this list completely done by Friday, we will see.

You can see here I screwed up and had to cut it all apart and move the wastegate in about 3".
The Intake tract would not work like I had it.............this is where I started to get my azzzz kicked!!!
