Well I got one of the 2 turbos on the SRT-8

I didn't have as much progress as I hoped for over the long weekend. I made up the two pain in the ass flanges for the stock hedders. I manages to hang one of the turbos and plan on doing the other one on Tuesday. All in all it looks like it can all be done and function well. Here are some pics below. Please excuse the ugly MIG welding. I will go back over it once I get the TIG welder up and running again.








Here are all my materials for the project


Here is a close up of the jumper tube and turbo as well as a peek at the intercooler

 

Looks like you have your work cut out for you....is the actual turbo under the car?.....How will you be managing timing, fuel, etc?.....good luck!..:thumb:

 

The turbos will in fact be under the car where it is cooler and doesn't effect under hood temps as much (A-la Audi).

check your post on the OC

 

Got it and I responded over there.:drunk:

 

How many turbos can you spot in the 2nd to the last picture?:bigwink:

 

Quite the project you got goin' there. I look forward to seeing the outcome! :thumb3:

 

Looking very good thus far brotha. You are doing good.

And I counted 5, including the one in the Audi (?).

 

dude kit it out slap an "As Seen on SRT/C logo" on it and market it

that is awesome!

 

5 is correct and that is an SRT-4

 

DOH... lol The front mount turbo threw me off. lol

I see it now in the Headlight and more of the engine bay beyond the battery Charger.

 

And you call yourself a Dodge guy!:getlost:

 

lol :cry2: :whistle:

 

Lots of work still ahead, but keep us updated. Glad it's you and not me. I'm still trying to put my dam x-mas lights up

 

Take them OUT of Drew, Jason, and Rick's buttocks and the job will become easier.

 

wow ron, you say that with a hint of jealousy maybe????? hehehehehe

spartan - i am really looking forward to seeing this completed!!! nice work thus far my friend!!!

 

So I've always been sort of an S/C guy and don't know squat about turbos (may have to switch after watching that speed channel show featuring Banks...). What's the effect on exhaust? Everyone is doing headers, high flow cats, etc. Is that mainly just applicable to NA engines? I was sort of thinking that all the exhaust stuff is so that the engine can breath in better so if it's blown then the exhaust (restriction) becomes a lot less significant? Or do you go with a bigger exhaust until you get to the turbo and then normal size after that since you're past the additional "restriction"? Is there a one or two paragraph basic answer to this or do I have to start learning about it in some depth.

 

I must warn you Quick, you should first learn how to put SRT8 badges on first, then tackle the almighty Turbo.. dahahahahahahaha :fear:

Couldn't resist buddy.

 

ouch ron, that is just loooooow......

 

Heh, dammit, if I was going to install a turbo I'd probably start before 2 or 3 in the afternoon and then use my drop light.
