My twin turbo engine swap., u other swappers r teh noOb! Options

[hitcachi]

Well i have decided to swap my celica. I've got a good group of guys helping me on this and its almost complete.
my tech team is still working on it. but i expect shipment within the next month.


Im hoping that these will push the 250 HP mark.



here's the boost gauge i'll be running. some of you saw it last night already installed.

workin on internals

here's my tech team working on the crank for me

i gotta give props to jack, steve and aaron for making this happen. these guys are amazing.

piston and rod assembly

some pistons and piston rods



The "spikes" on the piston rods are hollow tubes that go into the holes you can see on the bottom of the pistons and inject oil into the inside of the piston which keeps the top of the piston from overheating. Some high-performance auto engines have a similar feature where an oil squirter nozzle squirts oil onto the bottom of the piston.

cylinder deck u can see jeremy checking things over on number 5


and here's where we're at right now. as i said. shipment should be in about a month or so. then we're slapping this baby in the celica and calls will be made for some serious dyno time.


Im hoping to run mid 8's at idle.
Not sure if im going to need a cowl induction hood or not for clearance issues.

fin!

funny ish. i almost thought you were serious when i read the topic.

[markie]

lol.. let me know how it turns out

[vg30dett93]

what r u gonna do about lag? nos?

[jojobombiest]

lol one of those turbo's alone are as big as a celica engine

hahahaha

that turbo is about 2 stories high....MUCH larger then an entire celica

ship engines ftw

lmfao, a lot of the pics were in my book last semester. Machine Design book, i forget what it was called

[neKronos]

that last pic looks like a powerplant for a electric power plant.

[bloodrain]

all I can say is your going to have some major traction issues.

[Supersprynt]

dead images.

[creis]

cant wait to here the bov on that monster!!!

nice pics though, probably a curse ship turbo desel

not gana have any traction issues at all with that motor in the celica the down force on the tires would be so great they would not be able to slip probably just melt away before you got anywhare.

Let me know how it goes...im working on a similar project

[hitcachi]

^ , lets run em.

[airfron]

wierd my project went the other way i went with a s/c v8 though

for size comparison i put a quarter next to it

the block and heads



with the supercharger


and a quick video of it revving
Clicky



i figure with this engine my weight savings would be incredible... i mean really it only weighs 15lbs and has like 23 ft/lbs of torque

WTF....who makes turbos that big?! Or what was those made for?

[hitcachi]

aircraft carriers

[Punisher]

The largest ship engine out there now produces somethin like a million horsepower and it's max rpm is like.. 50. Not a typo.. that is fitty!

[IdiotStick]

Yeah they turn hella slow.

[Consynx]

it's safer
when you're as big as that you get more power by having more torque provided...if you can balance a crank a mile long, i'm guessing you can run 1 cylinder and get insane hp just going ~60rpm

...i'm doin it!
