One expensive hunk of INCONEL bellowl!

This will take care of the expansion from header to gt4294r to return tube. It's an expansion bellow for pre-turbo heat/vibration relief for the big turbo.

The main Burn's collector already has double slip (which is awesome) so that will take care of the gt2871r side of things.

What a surprise! I finally found a local E85 gas station! I'm sooooooo HAPPY!!!

I'll definitely be using E85 for my compound set-up!

Thanks guys! I appreciate it!


Mitsubishi Evo 3 was my first race car in the Philippines. I love it.

When I went to Rhode Island, I was about to buy an Evo 8 to build, but I wanted to try a RWD and something different, that's why I went to buy the Sky Redline.

I would like to see one day, an EVO with compound turbo as well. Im hoping that one of you guys will do it! It will be a beast!!!

Pssst

Nice job on the build so far! BTF is an AWESOME fabricator. I used to have a 09 Cobalt SS/TC, and I put down 486whp on it before a little bit of water intake from hurricane earl caused me to throw a rod. I still kinda miss that car... But, none the less, I know EXACTLY what you mean by not having much aftermarket support. Really the only ones who still regularly try to get support for you guys is BTF, ZZP, and maybe Dejon. But back to original subject. Can't wait to see the end results! Keep us updated.

SKY888

oh wow, your an ex-ecotec guy, huh?

now you have an EVO! Great upgrade!

now that I have a RWD car.....I'll never go back to FWD. If I get another car, it will be another RWD.....or AWD!

only LNF vendor right now who are active are ZZP, Werks, and DDM.

BTF no longer do any LNF upgrades. He's into hondas and STi's now, unfortunately

I asked BTF a huge favor to customize me my manifold, and he agreed since he was also very interested with my project.

It gets expensive with customizations....which is the sucky part with a dead platform such as the Saturn Sky Redline/Pontiac Solstice.

Oh well!


I'm hoping that BTF will be finished soon. It's been a long wait......
This is his 3rd version of the kit. Packaging it without clearance issues is a PITA.

The easiest way is either have a turbo sticking out of the hood.......or have the exhaust sticking out of the front fender. Both ....which I don't want to do on my car. I'll probably be stopped by POPOS....left and right........lol

I think this 3rd revision is the final one.......and then its tuning time

Yeah, I'm an ex-ecotec guy. I had the LNF. It was a fun car, I give it that. BUT it was fwd, which was kinda sad. And I didn't know BTF got out of the game. I was one of the only guys to get his 3076 kit, and made as you saw some pretty good numbers with it. Werks and DDM weren't really doing anything when I was in that crowd. But I guess things change in a few years lol. But I've always been a dsm/4g63 guy. I've had 3 talons and now my Evo. So easy to make power out of them, and they are awd, can't go wrong there! lol

SKY888

yup, BTF left the LNF platform (although he has a solstice gxp)............because most sky/solstice owners are not really into upgrading their engines. Only very few people are into it.....and of course some LNF ecotecs.

I actually bought his gt3076r kit first.....after a few months, I sold the kit.............and upgraded to his gt3582r kit. I'm always happy with the kits I get from him.......and met him in person, when he installed the gt3076r kit on my sky in upstate NY.

That's why he's the guy I really trust to customize/fab my compound set-up.

Dejon is not active anymore.


Due to the DIRECT INJECTION in an LNF ecotec engine that is very limited in fueling only around 450whp, I have to upgrade my fuel system.


ZZP was able to upgrade our cams to flow more air....and the most important thing is to add a bigger fuel lobe....which will be able to flow about 20% more fuel delivery which will be very helpful for my power goals.




But I know that extra 20% fuel delivery will still not be enough to supply fuel for my 700whp goal.

So I had WERKS customize me an intake manifold w/ port fuel injectors (4 x 45lb/min injectors) that will be separately controlled by Split Second Injector Controller. And a Secondary fuel cell will be used, so I don't have to tap from the main fuel line.

I'm hoping that during high boost/high power/WOT......that my DI injectors + Port injectors will be able to provide enough fuel for my power goals.

I forget the name of the tuner, it's been that long yes, but he is the only one that has been able to unlock the fuel tables for the LNF. ZZP uses his tune and tunes over top of it to get the fuel trims unlocked for the LNF. That's what I did with mine. Only way I was able to get what I got out of it.

SKY888

I think you're talking about Vince of Trifecta who first unlock the fuel table and raise it more than 2800psi

Last year, HPtuner also was able to unlock the fuel table.

but unlocking the fuel table is not enough. ZZP really has to get this big fuel lobe on the cam...to get more fuel out of the system.
