Wow!!:)

That is wild looking, it won't fit under the stock hood will it? Will the turbos actually sit in that position? Looks really wide from the pictures. Any wild guess what kind of HP you are looking to make? What boost? Is this going to be a puller, drag racer? Street legal? Looks really cool, can hardly wait to see the finished truck. Thanks for posting. Subman

Nope wont stay under the stock hood have cut into the cowl already.

Turbos will stay close to that maybe some minor tweaking.

Customer wants to drive every day. :eek:

Yes will say street legal.

DD???? Are you kidding???

Nope, thats the plan!

[Nitro]

wow... when do you plan the turbos to kick in

[VABRacing]

wow... when do you plan the turbos to kick in

2000-2500 rpm. Thats the goal. We found that the superchargers get big turbos to light very easily. But we wont know exactly what its going to be like till we get her running!

[James Hess]

How do yall plan to keep the heads attached to the engine and not orbiting the moon?

Studs, (Welding?):h)

[minisub]

Complete the MadMax effect and put an electric clutch on the blower with a red switch on the shift lever....):h

That is impressive...reminds me of the line from the end of Blade Runner: "Wonder how long she'll live..."

[blksmok]

That thing looks like a work of art. It's beautiful! :thumb:

[taildragger03]

The customer may have to have a pressure suit to drive it daily. That thing may create its own gravity.):h

[VABRacing]

Thanks guys!! We are working on incorporating some larger headstuds in it.

[mick]

Hell im getting left behind here. Not for long though ....................):h

By the way nice work men

[madmaxdmax]

How does that effect the emissions ?

[Timthecarman2004]

That much air should burn all the fuel, so the Govt. should love that setup. ):h

THats what Im sayin!! lol


Mick, you are never behind! your still the original blower man!!

[EDP]

Custom head studs are being designed as we speak. Very excited to see the end result. Many hours are still ahead for us and hope to have it all wrapped up and ready for debut at TS event in May.

[KEVINL]

That is riduculous:thumb:

Im just loving it seeing others like you guys giving it a good go.It doesnt really matter who started anything first - Its who finishes first (over the line that is) I mentioned on another site about a year ago that I thought the future would see alot more super/turbo combos, but had little support. but once you have had the bite its hard to stop. I will be starting on doing my swap this weekend, so hopefully will be back in the swim again real soon. Great work men :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[EDP]

if nobody pushed new ideas we would all still be running the A5k -:t and having two as spares in the tool box

[duramaxxx]

that's the baddest thing around. Any updates?

[EDP]

playing the waiting game right now. Our hands our currently tied until a super squirrely secret parts is finished getting machined out then we need to retest fit it again):h

[Mike_S]

Uh, that thing would not be leagal for street here where I live...they don't like big blowers sticking out of the hood. Its a "sight inhibitor, hence a safety concern". BS if you ask me...Hurry and get that thing running, I wanna hear how fast it revs!:thumb:

[EDP]

actually by our measurements we think we might be able to get this thing snuck under the hood with a small body lift.

[EDP]

so its out of the hood a little bit so a custom hood is going to have to be made. things are really starting to fall into place now.

[Mike]

Looks like you're ready to start that thing at least for a few seconds. Good going Chad.

Be nice Chad, I don't want mine to be jinxed. I've had my same one for a couple of years now. No troubles even after being driven hard by my Supercharger.

I've also done some work on the turbine housing and added a waste gate.

[emiller3]

Wow:)

That is going to be a wicked truck ! Keep up the good work guys

[jpgmtech]

Oh my... that looks like it should be powering the USS Enterprise :thumb:

[MattZ71]

any more info on the build?

[goodwrenchtech]

I have heard that it is close to almost being done. Chad has been very busy.

sweet!! im sure he has been busy, i am sure he will fill us in soon!

[Dmaxnutz]

Very nice!!!

[EDP]

Trucks really starting to take some big steps. For awhile there we battled a lot of little things. For the most part all the brackets are done and ready to hang all accessories back on the motor. New Fuel lines are getting the final adjustments done. Hood is getting slightly modified. We have been extremley busy at the shop so things are kinda crazy here. Have not had much time to get on the forums but will try and keep you guys posted for key on date!!!!!

[RodZZilla]

Any updates?
