I took a detour and drove up to ETS without the wife knowing I had to see the progress of my baby.
One problem we had last year is when we went to Las Vegas for BOTI races we had super hot temps especially with the 100deg plus heat. The mini Koyo wasn't doing it for us. I was very adamant about getting a better radiator. Now the turbo im running is the Garret 45r wheel with the Tial V-Band housing and a 42r compressor housing all machined to fit.
ETS JR went right to work as soon as he got the car. All i have to say he is a genius at getting things to fit. I could run power steering and a stock Radiator with his new manifold. Whats also nice is he uses 45deg bends off the head instead of 90deg which helps with flow. I put the kit on a stock 05 ev0 8 just to check fitments














Now here is my car with the kit on. remember this kit isn't done but will it be real soon

ETS JR doing his magic







JR also think he can get this monster turbo to work with A.C. I just told him he is nuts
One thing i love about ETS is if there is something they can improve they will. I know he mentioned to me that they will be offering all stainless steel flanges and ported compressor housing covers on all the turbo kits for the same price

They will have more pics and details on the reasons behind how he is building the kit this way. He is starting on the water to air intercooler today.

 

What's wrong with the wife knowing about the "detour"??

 

She all about making the $$$ right now and she knows the car is a money pit

 

Been there still there...

 

HOLY ISHT! Looking good Paul!

 

they'll never understand...haha, congrats on the progress so far!

 

that looks great!

 

that machine looks sick bro

 

that thing looks like a monster!!! Which built engine are you running with that particular turbo? Do you know what you estimated spool RPM will be yet?

 

Is it going to hit the radiator when the engine rocks in the mounts?

 

The engine is built by English Racing. We are running 10.1 compression. The head was done by GSC with a CNC. Also with GSC S3 cams.
Dont know the spool yet but we have a good feeling it will be good
The tial Housing is 1.00 and has been machine just for my application which is also supposed to help with spool

 

There is no rocking with this motor. We have solid mounts on the front and will have upgraded mounts on the rear and sides

 

wow great work by ETS with that set up, lookin good Paul.

 

Great pics Paul! I haven't been away from the office long enough to even check it out so thanks for posting them I can't wait to see your results from all of the big improvements that have been made over the winter!!

Sweet!
