Toronto Award Winning SL-C

[Doc Kaler]

Toby,

I applaud you for your attention to detail both with engine design and the remainder of the SL-C!

 

[Cam]

Wow, Very nice. And the car looks good too.

 

[Craig Gillingham]

another badger ...how many does any one person need?
hehehehehe

 

[Erik]

Any video on this car available yet, I would be curious to see a in car cam going around a track to get a better idea of power and handling. That car sure does look absolutely beautiful, good luck with it and I look forward to more posts.

Here are some revisions being done to Toby's car.

 

[Jennifer WhiteWolf-Crock]

Very nice, pictures 6 and 7 have the most appeal for some reason:thumbsup:

One body will still look fantastic at 60 years old, the other , well, time will take it's toll. You guess which....I already know!

Sigh....sad but true. We males tend to live in the moment!!!

Heres a couple pics of the new turbo headers going on the car. More to come soon

 

[Jack]

Absolutely beautiful Jay! Toby will be proud.

 

[Dave]

Those are beauties.
I see the v-band on the end there...are you using the new Tial stainless turbine housings? I just picked one up and it weighs 1/3 of what my T6 frame did.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Nice job....

The v-band you see is the joint for the second half of the manifold that connects a larger j-bend to the turbo, along with a mini tial watercooled wastegate. It was decided to keep the t3 turbine. I'll get some more pics up tomorrow.

I have a few of those tial housings around. They are really nice pieces.

 

[Alex]

Those are GORGEOUS!

 

[Doug Clark]

I'm surprised the stock lower intake manifold has been kept, from what I've read, that's supposed to be the restrictive part on the intake.
But I guess not if enough boost is shoved up it!

 

[Ian Anderson]

Those look like really neat headers.

Please could you advise if the "slip joints" to the collector are good enough in the pressure side of a turbo system -do they seal well enough?

Or will the collectors be welded in place to avoid "leaky exhausts"

Cheers
Ian

 

[Dave]

I've used the double-slip collectors with a turbo and they sealed as good as welded joints. I'll be using them again on my new system too.

These guys offer some of the best in the business too...

Fran I have used Burns before and they definitely top notch. Not to mention that they are relatively cheap when you consider the build quality and that they can custom make you pretty much anything exhaust related (used them for my M3).

 

[california Jay]

Heres the passengers side header complete. I'm now making hangers for the turbos to sit off the frame rails next to the intercoolers.
