I rebuild my engine after 97000 km and decided to take it a step further.
I have a new intake with 80mm throttle body, new exhaust manifold, greddy t78 turbo, eight 650cc injectors, block guards, larger valves.
Gas is making me a tranny while I break the car in for the next couple thousand km.

is it me or where does the coolant passes through? must be the pic...

BTW I hope you are using nitrous to spool that monster....


That intake manifold/throttle setup look great

No, no nitrous. this turbo seems to spool the same way as the gt35r I had before. I had to play around with the vvt a lot, also the larger ports and valves seem to have helped. I have the rev limiter set at 5000rpm for the break in period and boost builds strong after 4000-4500rpm. The rev limiter will be set above 8000rpm after tuning.

The coolant lines go through the normal way you just can't see it in the pic. The trottle body was custom made by my mechanic.
As far as clearance for the turbo, well it wasn't easy to fit. I also insulated the whole firewall just to be on the safe side.

Holy crap George! A T78 and eight 650cc injectors?! You're going to warp the head on that thing. 438whp wasn't enough for you? What the hell is your new goal....800?
The T78 is good for 750 hp. The first goal is 100 more whp for now. we'll take it a step at a time to see how far we can go with this set up and how much boost we can safely run.

that manifold/tb setup is beautiful. Hope you get your desired #'s out of that beast.
