TurboGallardo Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Indeed I did, Ramone did it, you know him? Wow, small world...Ramon has done/is doing a couple of engines for me as well, and I can speak for m3Jasper to say he knows him very well. He does very good work.

m3jasper Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Indeed I did, Ramone did it, you know him? I do, I know Ramon well. He's in a league of his own, imo, when it comes to porting cylinder heads and extracting max & efficient horsepower. Great choice!

Diablo_692 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks for the comments, I felt that setup make a big FU statement. On the home stretch now, IC up next and then the biggest issue to face is the throttle body. Currently oval style and no way to secure clamps to hold anything over 6 psi, as experienced last time round. Just not enough meat for the clamps to bolt onto, may have to weld onto them, which actually is the only section of the turbo kit that is a permanent modification. Still deciding on how to best tackle the round to oval issue, suggestions welcome! Limey, after reading this thread I know that you are aware of Nelson Racing Engines and their work on TT Diablos. If you haven't already seen it, in the video below you can see how NRE addressed the round turbo outlet to oval throttle body transition for this customer's build. Just another option for you to consider. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the way he incorporates the intercoolers into the intake plenums, though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

limey Report post Posted March 11, 2015 Good to see updates. What main items remain to be finished? Some oil plumbing lines and the adapters for the I/C. Is next, and throttle body connections. Still a fare bit to do though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
