why does the filter look crunched?? is that medical bandaging on the tube in the front?for some rason it doesn't look right :idunno:

[Brandon]

crockies mate. that engine is filthy, the cone filter is like shot....

[95GT]

OIY. Is that a custom job? Cause if it is, bravo. It dosen't have to look good, It just has to GO FAST.

[dmbprep69]

Yeah that cone is shot but who cares awesome job man! By the way katie that wrap is called heat wrap, lol its to keep the heat from the turbo manifold away from the intercooler piping.
Peace,

I'm trying to think about how many people are going to see his engine bay when they are still on the line and he is 100 feet ahead. ;)

Very nice man! :D

[Brandon]

im not sure.... on a road course i dont think that would help to much.... grand am vs. grand am.... straight line race maybe...

:drool:

thanks everyone...yea i kno its dirty and yes the cone filter is filthy as well but i have since changed the filter....never really got around to actually scrubbing the engine bay.....yea it was a custom job...everything was done by myself and my race team....really sad to let it go but its time for a new project.....i have more pics on the selling thread over in the selling section

That looks like exhaust wrap, Katie :P Keeps under hood temperatures reasonable and in some ways aids in spool time... Does look like an ace bandage or something though :D

Yeah unless that kinked rubber hose gives out under pressure then a stock Dewoo would pass it.

Credit for fabbing up your own turbo setup but I see alot of room for improvement. Maybe starting by replacing the connect hose from the TB with something steel or aluminum. Easy enough to pick up some prebent exhaust tubing.

[TurboGAT]

the tube is not kinked it just looks like it in the picture....doesnt really matter if that tubing is rubber or aluminum....does all the same thing but yea i kno wat your talkin about...thanks for the advice

-Brian

[DontPassTheFence]

well when a tubing is applied a certain pressure (In this case, lets say up to 12psi) which is quite a lot, your coolant lines are under 15psi usually, and those have to be quite rigid. If a hose/tubing is old/worn it can easily give out when enough force is applied -- but definitely gratz in the custom work - its not easy, especially in THAT engine bay.

[TurboGAT]

yea i kno...thanks it def wasnt easy....GM doesnt give ya much room to work lol

[car audio dave]

ill give you props on that job, it looks like it works. to help sell it id degrease the engine bay and like you said, post new pics this weekend.

whats the new project gonna be?

[TurboGAT]

the new project is an EVO....rite now i want something awd but im also lookin to buy a 67 GTO....the EVO is goin to be this year and next year...the GTO will be next year and from then on....thanks for the props and the advice

-Brian

[Nighthawk243]

67 GTO, that would be a nice damn car to get a good performance setup on.

[rraasch04]

/\ I agree with the 67 GTO idea... 455 4 speed throw on some aluminum heads, posi, and a few other "minor";) mods and that thing will be a good time. ... mmmm

[TurboGAT]

im thinkin bout a 502 Turboed motor

-Brian

[rraasch04]

not a bad idea either... on an old v8 i think i would rather have the blower sticken out of the hood for the charger, but the turbo will give ya more room to grow
