Sean Thanks for the explanation. I realize it's fun to design you own electronic controls (Thats my usual job) but you could use the Digi-set time delay relay instead. Paul
Sean These delay relays are used alot in drag racing. http://www.abb-control.com/pdf/catalog/LV023-08/7.14.pdf When you apply 12 volts to the SP solenoid, do you active the low or high stall speed? Paul
Sean It's best to get the Timer with the base and clips. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digi-Set-Timer-/270989478826 http://www.amazon.com/Sniper-15838A-Digi-Set-Delay-Switch/dp/B000COVV3Y Paul ---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ---------- Sean If you go this route I would be glad to compare notes with you on a wiring diagram.

Here we go! the custom sheet metal intake and turbo kit are done!!!! All this goodness and torque fits under the stock hood without a scoop!!! SLEEPER!!! When people ask i can just say its a mild 355 inch with low compression! Now I just have to install the good engine and trans and have some fun!!!!!! I was planning on using the trans brake and leaving off the line with that, but that trans has a manual valvebody and I figuer there would be a lot of slip on the highway with my 3200 stall converter... Being a street car I decided to save that trans for a spare. So I got a great deal on this SP-400 all rebuilt by a pro with a new converter (3200 and 1800 stall) and that one is auto shift... So the plan with the SP-400 trans is to leave off the 4 wheel line lockers at 2600-2800 RPM in high stall mode and then have the converter switch to low stall at the 60 foot mark. I might try foot braking it before I instal the line lockers, gonna take some trial and error to get it to hook.... The car is going in for a 4 link rear suspension as soon as I get it back from the US.... I have to drop the engine off for final assembly and then I just need to swap in the engine and trans and mess with the details.
LOL You know I'm just razzing you.. I don't even have one turbo under the hood of mine yet, much less two!
I got the tubing for my exhaust from summit and was happy with it. I was just curious since it seems common practice to always use stainless for turbo setups.
Sorry, those are the best pics I have. He just took the dash and made a template of the gauge opening and used alum to make the custom gauge panel. It does look clean!
A lot of street guys use regular mild steel as most affordable stainless alloys are prone to cracking (GN factory manifolds are stainless and the passenger side always cracks).
That's the truth. I've had to repair several stainless setups that cracked from heat cycling. Another problem on turbo headers is everyone thinks that TIG beads need to be super thin and pretty. That looks great, but it also fails. I put huge beads on everything exhaust. I've gotten a lot of crap for it and people tell me to learn to weld. Lol.
