Spacevomit's FD33 Project: Behind the Candelabra

[spacevomit]

Haven't chose the turbos yet. What kind of flange should I use? The outlets are about 65mm or 2-3/8".

[Ruler_Mark]

why not 6 fd turbos

[spacevomit]

Lol. Too heavy.

[Mik3ymomo]

Lol. Too heavy.

Get rid of those Mustang wheels and you can afford the weight.

[spacevomit]

I'll get good or at least lightweight wheels someday too. I want to use twin GT3582Rs or something like that.

[Ruler_Mark]

I think 6 turbos would be so cool and you can actually use all of the fittings you have bought

[spacevomit]

When you say "six", do you mean six pairs of twins? Or three pairs of twins? Lol?

[Ruler_Mark]

3 pairs. 

[spacevomit]

I'd like to keep things light. Can you explain how this will be lighter than a couple GT35Rs? Or that it's a better match in terms of massflow? I'm not spinning past 7k fwiw.

remove some of those 3/4" bolts lol

[spacevomit]

I'm switching to 5/8" titanium ones lol.

OH thought your goal was to add weight so you can compete in the massive class

[spacevomit]

Couple kinds of milspec cable clips (also fits -6 and -8 hard line respectively)

Lol. Do what?

I'm not as big a nerd as Joe is, apparently, but I really like some of the cool little brackets/etc. that he has.   Now there is a wee bit of overboard here (LOLz) but for example those little clamps up there are super cool and I'd be all over something like that on my car.    I'm not a fan of doing things "just because" but if you need to have clamps to hold something, slick little titanium/stainless/aluminum stuff is way cooler to me than zip strips and such.

BTW, I'd go v-band flange turbos if you can.   Easier to deal with than 4 bolts as far as remove/reinstall, plus easier to clock, too.
