Hi Paul, here are three photos of my almost finished
installation. I still
need few details taken care of before making some noise. The
radiator is on
a weird angle for a reason. The P-51 scoop blows the air into a
wedge formed
by the cowling wall and the rad. The exit is unobstructed by
the oil pan and
the hot oil pan does not radiate directly back in to the
radiator. All the
water tubes are 1.5" aluminum with beaded ends, silicone hose
joints with
Breeze clamps.
Since I already had the turbo rebuilt, I installed it and
relieved the waste
gate so it opens about 100% more? I'll wait and see which turbo
will be the
better choice, T4 or Australian mod?
The intake manifold is almost finished, The computer and EM-2
installed and
wired up.
I already know about the engine mount, so don't waste your breath:)
I like it!

I only got these two. Do you have another?

What does that intake manifold do?

That is a very nice installation Bulent.  The radiator is huge.  Where is
the oil cooler?  Are you going to use an intercooler?

Soon the turbo guys will outnumber the n.a. guys,  :-)

Hi Dave, the radiator is Northern Radiator from Ebay $180. It comes 19" x
31". I sliced it on my band saw to 10" x 31" and remodeled the ends and
installed 1.5" hose fittings. My oil cooler is between the engine and
firewall with custom plenum feeding from the P-51 scoop. I don't have photo
yet. I will be using a Maserati intercooler that has the in/out fittings on
the same side. It is a bit on the smaller side I think. Thinking of getting
a T4 compressor installed.
Turbo makes sense to me.
Make use of all the wasted exhaust gasses
Brings the exhaust pipe where I need it
Muffles the sound
More power at altitude
I'm waiting to see how are you doing with your new turbo.
