the p tuning exhaust is all v band clamps?!?!

 

Im digging the fact that there is still AC. lol. Creature comforts FTW

 

wow cool ~!!!!

 

beautiful

 

wow very nice.

 

____ looks beast

 

holy cow batman....

that tC is badass :D

 

daymn!

 

great setup...and that intercooler...huge!!

 

The progress so far looks good guys. Some quick questions:

1.What coating is that on the pipes?
2. In about the 12th or 13th picture down. Where you've got the VAC line running from the inlet of the turbo to the wastegate, what kind of connectors are you using there. Those look pretty cool and I haven't seen them on many builds? I noticed you had the same 90 degree elbow connectors on the vacuum block there.

Thanks!

 

Yes it is!

 

so that's an..interesting turbo setup... what are we expecting for power? aren't you limited in your class? Or am I mistakn? I thought the red parts were plastics for mock up at first lol. silly me.. best of luck to you. yes, I'd like to hear about these radiators... PM me some info if you get the chance.

 

WOW
when I first saw the IC I thought it was the radiator!

But I'm glad to see my shop put my flex pipe in the right spot for my custom midpipe. does that flex pipe come with your 3" turboback along with all those v-bands?

 

The racing radiator is almost done. It will be mounted behind the IC. We will be adding air diversion panels to direct air into the proper locations. We will try to maximize all openings in the front of the car to channel air to the proper components--we do not want to waste any of the air that hits the front of the car. The air will either be used to cool the IC, radiator, oil cooler, or used for aero dynamics purposes.

There will be no A/C on the car. The A/C compressor will be replaced by a multi-stage dry sump oil pump.

The I/C and Intake pipes are powder coated in Ptuning Texture Red by our business associates at SandBlast America. The texture powder coating on the aluminum piping actually makes the piping very easy to maintain, unlike polished aluminum.

The vacuum fitting connectors used on our tc is know as a "push to connect" fitting. It is used primarily on equipments that require routing of critical vacuum lines and pressure lines. The fittings we used are designed to be 100% leak-free, and easily to connect and disconnect. They are rated at 300psi at 200 degree F. Ever seen a rubber vacuum line for a wastegate pop off a cheap barb fitting on a high hp turbo car--can you say overboost and goodbye motor. The fittings aren't cheap but when you have a $10K+ motor in your car, you don't want the life line for your boost reference connected to $1 barb fitting.

The same company, SandBlast America also did all the powder coating and hi-temp ceramic coating on our Ptuning Turbo S2000 below:

oh what are the supporting mods (i.e. internal modifications) and is that an aps turbo

 

why 2 blow off valves on a single turbo?

 

if they're building enough boost it is possible that one bov is not sufficient. so by putting two bov's on both side of the intercooler (hot and cold) you can eliminate all pressure in the pipes faster and more efficiently.

I THINK.

lol just a guess but i know that bov's have a limit and you don't want boost leak. of course thinking about it, you'd probably just want a high volume bov rather than 2 lower volume.

in fact i'm not sure at all, i'd delete this but i'm already done so i'll post it.

 

We will find out when the car goes on the dyno. That's the beauty of the Redline TA. There's no HP limit in any class. You are however limited by tire compound and chassis modifications. So it's useless to have a 400WHP FWD car running on street-compound tire--you're not going to be able to use that power on the turns, and road racing is all about turns.

Our Ptuning Competition 3" TB and SB exhaust systems utilized all v-band connections. We've seen enough leaking exhaust system come through the shop and we can tell you that dynoing a car with a leaking exhaust system or downpipe is a waste of time. The 3" S-pipe that comes with our 3" TB exhaust system utilized v-band on all connections except for the front where it mates to the factory donut gasket (which provides the flex in the exhaust system).

The s-pipe/downpipe you see on our TA tc uses a completely different s-pipe/downpipe that offers a true 3" v-band setup from the turbine housing outlet--which is also v-band. The SS flex section on our TA downpipe provides the flex when the engine torques, otherwise you'll be cracking turbo manifolds or the weakest weld on the exhaust system. Our TA downpipe on our turbokit will connect directly to our 3" exhaust system--which we currenly sale.

Any serious competition exhaust system for forced induction should utilize only v-band connections. And in case you don't already know, v-band connections aren't cheap. Each SS v-band connections run anywhere from $40 to $80 per connection and our turboback already uses 4 connections, but you get what you paid for.
