a little update :)

[Kreator]

hey, havent been around for a while... life and work keep me busy

Though, i did find time to redo the escort

it's has been updated, but is still untuned - waiting for a bit of a warmer weather to do that enjoy:









Last picture - custom made turbo heat shield - cutout from thin sheet metal with header wrap stapled on the inside.

oh, and for those who dont remmeber what it looked like before: old setup

[SPENONE]

MAn...no offense...but is that plumbing done right?...

[Kreator]

elaborate... this is not a conventional GTX setup... if you can't tell

[atomicEGT]

interesting vaf placement

[91ProtegeLX]

yea....wtf?

[Henchman]

Are you using Nitrous? Just a guess since you have that close up of some sort of valves, but dude why place the VAF there?

[SPENONE]

i can tell that it is not a conventional GTX setup..but taht turbo looks like its in a bad spot for air/cooling reasons. And also the VAF would cause your hood not to close right no?...


Just looks like miles of uneccesary plumbing for some odd reason...maybe its the turbo's placement..

That radiator tho'..thats hot.


EDIT: WAIT! i looked at the wrong picture!..i thought the turbo was on the side of the firewall..LOL..


but still i dunno why is your tubing all crazy like that?

[Kreator]

compressor side of the turbo is towards the passenger side... that causes all the piping weirdness. Well to a point. the charge pipe to the intercooler is very short. enters the intercooler from the left, so its right out of the turbo. ic to throttle body is pretty straight forward. The intake pipe is so long since there is no big enough spot enroute to mount the vaf. That spot over hte manifold is the closest spot that has enough space to mount the vaf. And the hood closes... but its pretty tight. So tight in fact, that the rx7 maf which is about 1 inch taller - did not fit

and i dont know... don't think this is too much piping.... turbocharged 240s - thats alot of piping. this is nothing compared to that

oh and no, no nitrous. just turbo

[SPENONE]

AHH..Backwerdz turbo is the culprate!..i see now....cause i was thinking it should be liek this..(conventional way)..with of coarse the intake over the BOV pipe but u get the point

[323Foreword]

Creative setup, intercooler looks nice.



Nice Picture SPEN

[Lex]

Maybe if you got rid of the power steering there would be room ....

What turbo are you running?
And no rad fan?

[MD323]

That is a CRAZY setup up, i think im in love. it would be awsome to see in person, we really need to get an MD meet going soon.

[Vash00es]

Ahh man, its just weird tubing I thought you had a twin turbo BP for asec

[Mazda96Protege]

Crazy stuff dude, but it looks awesome!

[D323]

glad to see your still around Kreator.

Nice new idea for a setup, I especially like the blue annodized piping... very professional looking.
