Bottom Mount M20 Turbo Widebody... scratch that, N54?

[silnc]

Building a custom bulkhead

[silnc]

So we're having a change of direction with this build as we want to reach a different market.
We've decided to make our own widebody to pay homage to group 5.
Also, we really want to go with the n54 platform.
Updates to come.
To anyone following the bottom mount build it looks like we will have to run a scavenge after all to be on the safe side, the oil is draining, just not fast enough. This test car runs but we're ironing out MS2 problems.

more progress on that

Replicating the first manifold for production version, all stainless, thick stuff. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Hmm, Tim Bell racing 370Z? Enjoy seeing progress, I would have preferred a X or something as the roof bars. Triangles Rule.

Correct, that's my boss. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Also, modified the turbo a little to fit a tight bend. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

detail shots on the gussets

Taking a brief hiatus from the turbo to add gussets and rebuild the bulkhead. More updates to come soon as we will be building this bottom mount kit on a customer car. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Looks awesome! What's the wastegate and oil drain solution going to be?

Wastegate should be able to route to the downpipe and the turbo sits higher than the oil line so I think so far so good.

damn that thing looks clean

Looks cool, not sure if anyone in the US has tried to make a bottom mount for m20. What's the clearance like near the strut tower reinforcement? Looks tight...

You going to be making a kit around this manifold or just selling the manifolds for others to fab up a kit?

Clearance is a little too close but will be adjusted for production. We will probably be going with both options but probably a good idea for the engine mount to come with the manifold.
