Scotts build thread

Never heard of them. Maybe an air filter “sock” that goes over the intake pipe like a condom to keep debris out? I’ve seen those on dirt bikes before.

Not to fill your thread with my stuff Scott, if you're interested in the details you can check it out here, thanks

That's really cool work, Scott. Lots of very detailed home/handmade stuff. I like that kind of build. I have always loved the 50-60 Ferrari's and other Italian race cars. All those handmade parts are beautiful.

Thanks Howard. Ya, no real fancy parts or cnc stuff. Just a drill a grinder and a welder.
 
Got the rest of the exhaust finished, all 12" of it. Exit is through the rear clam. Sorry for the neck pain of looking at sideways pics, but it seems no matter what I do they come out sideways.
In 36" of exhaust length have been able to fit a resonator, recycle w/g's into exhaust, an X section and siphon the crankcase ventilation. I proved nearly 20 years ago that you still get the benefit of crossing the exhaust tubes for syphoning with a turbo, just as you do with n/a and supercharged. I used to build race motors with the Nissan VQ35 and having my exhaust systems 3rd party tested for both twin turbo and supercharged set ups. At the X, sound waves tend to cancel (my SLC set up is way too short on the exit side for this) while at the same time the merge that looks like a pinch, is doubling the size for each exhaust pulse to exit on this design and merge angle. That doubling on exit creates the syphon effect. You only ever have one cylinder firing at a time no matter the motor. The firing order of the 1UZ is not as efficient as a bank to bank firing order motor, but there is still gains, and it looks cool and saves some weight over carrying the tubes all of the way out the back. The engine heat is contained within one area also that is vented.
Visually to me it is like you can actually see the motor working. Main turbo intake, air horns inside of the intake, then the exhaust all in one view.

A few other detail pics. Each water heat exchanger for the intercoolers has its own Bosch water pump. So each side is closed loop on the intercooler circuit. No reservoir, the volume of the heat exchanger, intercooler core and connecting lines should be more than enough. No need for the extra weight and I am not making a drag car that you need to add ice between runs. Each side will have a vented transparent fill pot. Easy visual inspection on levels. For the complexity of a water/air intercooled twin turbo system, I am very happy with the way it came out. Everything is easily accessible for visual inspection or replacement, everything is symmetrical, and each connection is as short as possible within the chassis to help keep weight down without using exotic materials. This engine combo can be completely reassembled on just an engine stand, including the entire intake system with intercoolers, to the entire exhaust system. Can't wait to take that pic!!
Since I am not going to dry sump the 1UZ, I added a 3 quart oil accumulator. Found a spot low on the frame to fit it. Need to see the oil pressure range of my completed motor to see exactly how I want to set it up. A 3 quart will hold about 2 quarts under pressure, just need to see the psi I want the fill to be at. Will control it via psi activated solenoid, that can be controlled manually also. Accumulator psi gauge and air pressure fill valve will be accessible without lifting the rear clam.

Underneath done except for finishes. Made an access door for the oil filter. Both trans and engine drainplugs have access also with flush plugs. The NACA ducts outlet directly onto the turbos helping with airflow.

Have been passively looking for the best bespoke mirror for the car that wasn't ebay or amazon or generic that anyone could buy. Worked with Todd at racemirrors and chose his CIS housings. I used his aero stem stock to create the stems. Road legal too.

Hopefully there’s not been any problems since I moved this thread!

This has to be the most bad-ass cars being built here…. Batman needs this car!
Thanks Randy, huge compliment! After looking around the site again at others projects though, it's like the whole build levels across the boards has gotten higher! Cool to see.
No more problems with this thread. Thanks again for your help.
