turbo 6 bangers post here
Sounds good Bill I can't wait to see some video and hear that beast running, yes the walbro is a nice little piece of hardware I just replaced one yesterday I'm doing some test runs without the turbo hooked up now as we speak just to clean the header out of any unwanted debris before the turbo is installed
I've plumbed in all my water line for the turbo and Intake Manifold also my oil lines for the turbo ill probably plumb in the IC piping in today or tomorrow
I'll try and post some video in the next day or two

Still not finished, but here's an update:
The fuel system is done to the point that we bolted the Holley 4-bbl that Tom Wolfe had modified for blow-thru for us, and put the hood on the car. With the SPECTRE bonnet in place, it clears the bottom of the hood by about half an inch, so HALLEUJAH!!!! We are going to have a FLAT HOOD!!! NO scoops!:blob::prayer:
That's the good news; the bad news was that Holley 4bbls like we use, have the fuel entrance to the float bowls on the passenger side of the carburetor. However, the throttle linkage is on the driver's side. We ran the fuel line from the trunk, up the driver's side of the car, finally coming to rest on the inner fender panel (driver's side,) because we didn't want the regulator-to-carb lines running clear across the whole engine compartment.
THEN, we realized that, if the carb was installed in its correct front-to-rear orientation, the fuel lines would have to come from the regulator and go
around the carburetor to make entrance to the needle and seat fitttings.
The good news...
I learned that there is a Holley float bowl for this carburetor that has "fuel-intake" fittings on BOTH sides of the float bowl (#134-108,) for the carb we're using (4150 750cfm, double pumper.) You just plug the one you don't need. Cool!!!
So, as soon as those arrive (maybe Tue. or Wednesday,) we can run two short, braided, #6 lines from the regulator to the carb, and the fuel system is
done... minus a couple of pressure gauges.
Then, there's a fair amount of wiring to be done, and a couple of relays to install, and a trip to the front-end shop for alignment,.... and she's ready for prime time.... Oops... seat belt/shoulder-harness installation and a driveshaft loop... Dang!!!
Guess I was a little premature (what else is new???):violent1:
