Huron Speed A/C Turbo Kit - Another Reason to Tear Into It

[BlackBirdDaddy]

damn good base numbers! What dyno was this on? If that was the case, I am betting we will see a higher number on 8psi

Dr. Phil tuned and ran it on the dyno which I think is at a shop on VanDyke near Hall Rd.

That's where we do the dyno day every year that Jeff organizes.

Ok, let's get this turbo install thing wrapped up!


Turbo cooling, the final piece of the puzzle - Even though it is oil less turbo, coolant needs to be run to keep temps down. So, instead of running lines to the block, I decided to tap into a heater hose in series to make for a good circulation in and out and also allow ease of installation.


So, I looked high and low for a fitting that would allow me to connect a -8an to a 3/4 barbed fitting, but I could not find one in this world!


I called on my good friend to make these two fittings work for me and it came out better than I thought! A little paint and they are done.

So he took the two pieces and combined them into one? That's awesome.

Yes, it worked out nicely.






Well, what do I do now? I'm all done with the turbo install (almost).































Looks close, but there is some clearance between there.

This is the worse project and poorest attention to detail I have seen. You should just hide it in my garage so the world can't see what a Frankenstein you have built. For shame, I will even give you some gummy bears just to take it out of your hands.

That looks great. Almost finished in no time.

Front suspension and try to make this functional:

Couldn't have asked for a nicer job! Terrific Jim!

Well, I'm going to attempt to make this sway bar work, hmmmmmmm..............
























ZR1 Blue. OMG, is that factory paint expensive!

[Atrus]

Expensive, but those calipers looks great! I like the blue color "pop" without being really bright and attention-whorish.

And, now I see the issue in the suspension. I didn't really follow why re-fitting it would be a challenge. Can you run some spacer blocks - possibly reinforced by gusseting or otherwise tying them in elsewhere for stability?

[Superman09]

I am thinking we can make a bracket for that sway bar very easily. 1-piece that bolts to the factory location and leaves a spot for it to mount in the new lower location!

Calipers look great!

[erk2581]

Calipers look AWESOME...I can't even imagine what that cost...

Just a question though, why do you need a front swaybar?

[WMCC Gary]

Y

I bet a lot of people look at shows and won't even notice theres a turbo in there. Nice Job!
