Official Big Turbo Engine Bay Thread!

[infinityman]

With all of the affordable turbo kits out now, there are many options for going BT. It seems like everyone has jumped on the BT fun, and lately there has been lots of interest in piecing together kits too. I think a thread where people post just 1 or 2 good engine bay pictures could help a lot of people out. It can show them different ideas for intake manifold/throttle body placements, intercooler piping setups, top mounted/bottom mounted turbo setups, intake setups, catch cans, batteries, etc etc.

Official? not really.

Please do not post unless you have a picture, that way the thread will only be a couple pages, and very informative (like the dyno thread)

Kinetic manifold, 3071r, 4" to 3" 45 degree reducer to 3" intake. 12lb deka battery with room for the intercooler piping to be run that way (much shorter than going down between the intake manifold/battery. windshield wiper reservoir removed for more room for intercooler piping/ BOV.

again, please do not post unless you have a picture.

all plumbing and IC piping, done by me.
Autronic SM4 prepped by Kevin, installed by, yep you guessed it, me.
motor built by Trevahhhh. installed by me yet again.

yeah, its >550whp. yeah its in a rabbit. and yeah, it does not great traction. but still hits low 11's @ 130.

and did i mention its PINK????? what, me skip a chance to whore it out? never.....

[velocity196]

heres my all go no show gti that i personally built with the help of a few texers and my local shop helped me with some of the portwork. running the new kinetic kit with a gt35r upgrade with unitronic 830 software, rmr intake manifold ported built head good for 8500rpms, I.E. rods with factory pistons tops her off. have no idea what kind of power im making yet. ive been waiting to get my ecu bug free. what i can tell you is she burn 1st thru 3rd at 24 psi with water meth (75 to 80% meth) and timing increased 6* so i lowered the boost down to 20 psi for daily driving.

*EDIT* apr turbo back exhaust. 3" to 2.5"

nothing fancy but here she is

I'm sorry, but this is the most epic engine bay thread evaaa!!!!! Please sticky at the top of the forum mods

[ALT3rEg0]

I'm just gonna say that I'm totally responsible for the "walbro on passenger fender where EVAP was" movement.

[passatG60]

I guess alot of the 'flop' has to do w/ the fact that my inlet was designed really for OEM fitment. I'll alter it so it gets better supported. Great pics guys, keep em coming...

Kind of like this in a finished bay (S3 borrowed from S3rdias)

Whatever you say, Mr Bighead. Would you like a cookie or a gold star?
