whos idea was it to allow only two pictures per post....

High_Horse · « **Reply #63 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:23:28 AM »

I'm going to get on that bandwagon 78Pinto....... .
There is enough room for six pictures. And considering it only takes miniwheats anyway,and considering I have begun my interior BUILD. I agree.

i have posted a question regarding picture attachments in the Admin section, I'll see if its ok with the "Grand Poh-Bah" to increase that number but there may well be a good reason for it that i'm not aware of. Jeff

few more with the wastegates and downpipes attached.

got the silicone coupler and the blowoff valve installed today, next is the exhaust pipes to go from the turbos, down through the wheel wells and under the car....wish me luck, 3" is going to be tight!!

71hotrodpinto · « **Reply #68 on:** November 22, 2006, 08:36:04 PM »

AHHH hell Just run them through the firewall. OR OR! Maybe straight up!!?? "A LA" Tractor Pull Style!!!
LOL

But really to have any kind of clearance sounds like you need to have the floorpan humped out at least 2"
Also im wondering about the vibration from the engine and the weight of the turbos on the headers. My buddy at work has a Turbo 2.3 SVO Mustang RACE/STREET and its blowing up headers left and right. Well come to find out he has no Flex Coupling on the down pipe to allow for engine movement. Well after 2 headers hes going to get a flex for the new header.
So to recap im thinking 2 3" flex couplers on the downpipe and a couple of tunnels for the exhaust.
Unless you want to just dump it out behind the front wheels??!!!
Anyways looking good and well engineered.
Cant wait for more progress.

Zoomies it is! I took a close look at the downpipe dilema today and i think i have the answer....and on the drivers side will be no cutting of the fender wells/firewall and passenger side just a little bit. My engine will be on Mustang II motormounts, plus it will be strapped down, with very little movement allowed. The exhaust will be held up with one mount ( and a lose backup just incase) so it is free to move as nesasary. I have ordered the 3" pipes with 65-70 degree bends (4 in total) and will post pictures if all works out as planned.

downpipes worked out, had to cut a small section from wheelwell to make it fit on passenger side. Blowoff is installed now.

Hey whats the down pipe look like from the side of the car??
Wow those are big tubes. Now i see why i didnt even try to do a 3 inch system on my car. LOL

78pinto · « **Reply #75 on:** November 24, 2006, 06:20:40 PM »

I didn't take a picture from the side, but you can't see them. The exhaust will run outside the unibody structure underneath and will exit out the sides infront of the back wheels (like sidepipes) It will all be done in flat black with stainless exhaust tips poking out.

71hotrodpinto · « **Reply #76 on:** November 24, 2006, 11:23:50 PM »

MMMMMM Tasty!!!
Jet hot has a black coating i think. I know im trying to spend your money LOL!
Or at least use the VHT ceramic paint. Its $10 a can pluss your sposed to use a primer also but probably cheaper than coating the "side pipes"
Your probably getting tired of hearing all the praise that your doing on this "mad machine" but i cant help it SWEEET!!!!

78pinto · « **Reply #77 on:** November 24, 2006, 11:28:04 PM »

trust me..i don't need any help on spending money!

My budget started at 12k i'll be hitting 17k+.......like i said, my wife is great

The firewall hole has been repaired, along with the small hole in the passenger side wheel well where the downpipe goes through. I'll finish welding the patches in when i pull the mockup motor....gotta wait for the new up22 fiberglass hood to arrive to make sure everything (carb, bonnet, intercooler tube) fits underneath it before i rip it all out, better safe than sorry! Dash was supposed to be here this weekend but my buddy got busy so it'll have to wait till this week sometime. Also bought a couple of 3" Magnaflow mufflers for it. Should sound pretty good!

78Pinto,
Am I seeing duel wastegates?? Wouldn't one common wastegate to both turbos be a little bit more controllable and safer for the engine? Afterall the boost is going to one common place.

78pinto · « **Reply #81 on:** December 04, 2006, 10:09:38 PM »

your thinking of a blowoff valve....for bleeding down boost. The wastegates control the amount of exhaust flowing into the turbine section of the turbo, if you only had one wastegate it would only limit boost output on one turbo, because they each feed off one bank of cylinders independant of eachother. If i had 4 turbos i would need 4 wastegates (two exhaust pipes into each of the 4 turbos) Hope you understand.

Ran into a setback today, seems my rustfree Pinto....isn't rust free! All of this occured from the inside out, likely because of the windsheild gasket. When i put the new carpet in two years ago it was just starting to rust, i should have fixed it then but i didn't and it spread. The holes are mainly over the unibody frame so i couldn't see them, when i took the wire brush to the floor i could see tiny pinholes.....i made them bigger by poking at them to see how far the rot went. This in only on the drivers side, the passenger side is fine. I'm cutting out the rusty section and putting in new metal, then i'll use POR15 on the entire inside of the floor, the underside will be done later as well. I never would have noticed this from underneath the car....at least not till it rusted alot more, have an eye guys!

the floor is now patched, after the hood arrives i'll pull out the mockup engine and weld in my firewall and floor patches (just tacked in right now) and get the pig ready for body and paint.

I've heard of acid dipping the car for light weight but now that Jeff is rust dipping I think all The racers will be doing it.

it's the cheap "canadian" way to achieve light weight bodies!

Just got my dash back from paint.....its VERY VERY shiny! :police: The angle on the new speedo didn't impress me so i'm going to redo it along with the fuel level gauge. The dash was painted with base/clear.

78pinto · « **Reply #89 on:** December 29, 2006, 10:24:09 PM »

couple more. Look close.....you'll notice that even sitting in my basement...its reving to 3700RPM!

This Pinto wants to go!!
