Thanks Alex. I am diggin it! Did you get your car going yet? That is going to be a bad machine!
Dan
That looks so nice. It really fits in the compartment well. Nice and clean install man! I have an Aussie 2V in the garage just waiting for a future build up. I'm definately thinking a 200 turbo for it. It will be awhile, but after you list your parts, I'll be starting my wish list.
That engine bay looks very retro... Which is très cool. Not a lot of anodising; a kind of "Earl's-free zone". Are you running an oil cooler?
In a way, I was hoping it was a 170. That would have really made things fun.
Ben, you could go with a fabbed header, ceramic coated. Cast turbo headers are a way off, I think.
Cheers, Adam.

You don't need to. Plenty of people fab up tubular turbo headers. As long as the lengths are short as possible, and the flow unconflicting, it will work OK. Cast turbo headers are a pretty snazzy piece of pattern and casting work, so the price would be high.TheDude":106irj0u said:

It is a Buick GN turbo with an .82 exhaust housing on it. I got it for $50 at a Buick show. I spent $15 on the rebuild kit to get it back in good shape. It is leaking a little oil now so I am going to have to pull it back off and fix that.

tis very nice, me like..
I am curious to know which MSD ignition controller you used, I cant quite make out the model.. How do you compensate timing during boost? I saw some of the more expensive MSD units have built in vacuum connections to take care of that stuff for you. But the 'entry level' 6a is still 150$ and is about as high as my budget goes for something like that.

Great looking install. You raised the bar for all of us.
Draw-through in the works.

because air is still flowing through itKstang":1ple3bwc said:
imagine a straw in a drink, you can suck the drink up (no turbo), and if you blow across the top of the straw the air pressure within the straw lessens which pulls the drink up the straw (turbo)
very simplified answer, but that's it
air flow is air flow

The carb bonnet also pressurizes the fuel bowl at the same pressure as the air that is flowing through the venturis... so it still works on the same principle as an NA motor.

By-the-way, what was the turbo used on the Grand National?
