hope you plan on getting a hell of a fire ring gasket on that sucker. Looks like boost and power to the MAX!

This hardware makes me drool antonio

yeah, we're planning around 45psi on this project.

It'd be disappointed. Oh, pow! j/k.

It looks great, Antonio!

What is the displacement?

SKY888 · « **Reply #179 on:** August 16, 2011, 10:29:25 AM »

displacement is still the same though......

Holy

45 psi?! U sure this isn't a diesel? Or maybe a methanol conversion? Thats intense! I feel bad for your tuner that has to manage all that hardware

there will be 2 softwares involved.

and one mechanical unit to be controlling the small turbo's boost and one electric unit controlling the big turbo's boost

ticking time bomb

why so?

because of 45 psi? my block and all of the stuff that I'm using can handle more than 60psi.

I don't care if your boost is only 23 psi......if your tune is not good....that block will get destroyed.

its all about the TUNE and of course the supporting hardware

I know its like apple and oranges.......but have you seen the compound set-ups of those diesel engines on tractor pulls? They go more than 100 psi........

some of them even use triple turbos in a compound set-up

Just finished reading all the posts in your build. I must indeed congratulate you SKY888 for taking on this project and documenting all the build . What an awesome build indeed! It's one of the best threads of this nature I have yet seen on this great forum. Thanks for taking on this project and sharing the build process. Indeed, extreme kudo's Sir.

That's going to be one hell of a car....will it be drivable on the street still?

kennysabarese · « **Reply #186 on:** August 16, 2011, 11:10:53 PM »

The 1,400hp drag ecotec built by GM runs 60psi.

He should be fine, since he's built a similar engine.

Steve, are you asking if its driveable? or streetable?

I truly believe it will be both.

Other high powered turbo cars (single BIG turbo) that produces 500-800whp.......I don't think they're streetable at all. Since the surge of big power comes in abruptly, and kinda crazy to drive on the street. They will not be able to enjoy that power at all. These cars are really meant for WOT at the drag strip. For RWD, with that surge of power, you'll feel your rear end fish tailing.........and for FWD cars, with street tires, you'll just smoke your tires......or just have an accident ......lol

When I used to have the gt35 (400whp) on my sky.......it is streetable/driveable....but I know that I can only enjoy a lil bit of the power on short sprint........or fully get its potential on an open highway. Because the surge of power comes in above 4400rpm.

The beauty of the compound turbo set-up is that the wide power band.....and very linear in power delivery. I will basically be able to enjoy the power that your car is getting right now. We kinda basically have the same spool using gt2871 components. Your turbo might spool a tad bit faster though since you're using k04 components. Only difference will be.....on the highway, at WOT, my system will not run out of breath at 6000rpm. It will be very happy at higher rpms.

My small turbo (gt2871r) has an external wg of only 20psi. Anything above that, all the excess heat goes to the bigger turbo

so basically, I can just enjoy the 20psi of my small turbo on the streets and still be driveable

RELIABILITY????? That one....I'm not really sure..........lol

I'm really hoping bro!!! I dont have unlimited funds like GM ecotec drag cars........

more upgrades arrived recently:

thank you to Jeff of SOLO PERFORMANCE for the customized 3" exhaust and shiny new dual tips!!!

thank you to Dave of WERKS for the Race Intercooler and Black thermal coating and Deatsch Werks 300 lph fuel pump!!!

Valve cover came today with a new powdercoat. Thanks Brad of North East Powdercoating!

some teaser shots of my compound manifold set-up!

clearance for a 4" downpipe

only the gt2871r showing.............the gt4294r will be attached soon!

Arabas · « **Reply #192 on:** September 22, 2011, 02:18:29 AM »

looks mean already!!
it's interesting to see how all the pipings and both turbo plus the huge ic will fit in there...
i wonder, will the black ic attract the sunheat more than a silver one? or is it insignificant?

SKY888 · « **Reply #193 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:55:31 AM »

we will have a custom radiator built for this set-up and lots of relocation of power steering, fuse box, and etc.

the thermal coating will help in cooling off the ic.

Why don't you just eliminate the power steering altogether to save space?
From what panther says, the car will drive better and parking was only marginally tougher.

Agree with elff! Power steering is not an option for me, I believe it takes away from the ultimate driving experience for a roadster or smaller sports car.

Hang on a second. That last pic of the turbo hooked up in the engine bay shows a yellow car....

as much as possible I want to keep my PS

but removing it is an option, if REALLY needed.

its is BTF's solstice.

All the compound manifold kit set-up is being mocked up on his car.

While all the engine internals/tranny is being worked on by SMG.

then once Rick is done, he'll send us the kit

Damn
Nothing gets by Sherlock Kenny
I completely missed that.

Any update on timeframe? Looks like it is getting close
