It's the same tube size as last setup
But need a new turbo for 700whp
I'm still amazed you managed to get 500whp out of your old t3/t4. Any idea what your next turbo will be?

Not sure. A suitable S200/S300 SX-E maybe

I have the 57/61 s200sx-e waiting for mine. Should be plenty for my goals.

Good to know I’ve got options in the power department
I’ll start of with my 80’s turbo design, and progress further after at least one season

Lots of room for activities now

You think you have enough scaffolding?

Well, I’m only an X bar in the doors, cross bar in the roof, funny cage and some floor bars from a 7.50 cage I think
The now 8.50 certifiable cage has some extra bars because of the back half. It’s getting crowded.. and crowded fast

This is the only picture I took

Hah! I know it's not car polishing, so it needs to be something else

Lets have a minute of silence for my now declared dead T3/T4 hybrid champion..
It had a great life of 12's, 11's and 10's! It powered until the end, and I believe it holds Norway's fastest air cooled street car title. 10,22.
The bearings are shot, and the shaft has taken a beating.
It's actually bigger than I remembered. 57mm/75mm compressor wheel and 64mm/56mm turbine wheel, T3 0.63 AR.
Sooooo, I might have talked to the Norwegian turbo guru last night, and I forecast a 700hp turbo in my near future (it will be accompanied with a custom cam also..)
