Jeff, How much boost are you running on your monster? Did I read you're getting 550 HP out of it? Also could you post a pic of the heatexchange up front for the intercooler or rough dimensions? I'm tying to decide how big I need to make this. | ||

excellent, Mark. I love the QV's, (always have), and am watching your project closely, (always have!). Keep us all posted. | ||

Ernie, You're right, it sure looks rough before it's ground and painted. I should be ready to paint it in about 2 weeks, I'll post a few pics then, it should look a world better. The first one looked worse at this stage if that's possable. Believe it or not, there are 71 pieces welded together to maked the intake.....I had to have tapered oval runners with increasing radius bends on top. Way harder to do than the elbows with round runners I did on the last one, but I needed steal hieght and width to get the bigger blower and intercooler in there. I got the throttle body attached to the blower and found a place for the by-pass valve this weekend. After a little clean up, I'll paint the adapter black wrinkle to match the blower, I think that will look good under the red manifold.  | ||

Mark you mad scientist you!!! I love it. So Dr.Frankestein looking right now. LOL. But I'm sure it will look like it came from the factory by the time you are done. I bet the purists are getting sick to thier stomaches. Hahahaaa. When you are done you have to say " IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!!!". | ||

RC, The set up on my car requires a lot of custom fabrication. The manifold is a weldment using part of the original plenum, billet and aluminum pipe. Then cooling system stuff needs to be moved out of the way, oil filter moved, pulleys made, convert to EFI. It took me about 100 hours to do it plus about $4500 in parts. It used an eaton MP90 blower, and made 360 crank HP on the QV engine. I recently sold that system and am almost finished building a new ones for me and another gentleman that are similar, but use a whipple ax2300 compressor and an intercooler and should be capable of 550-600 crank hp. It would cost between 8k-12k to buy a similar set up depending on what parts you want in it. I have had quite a few people ask in the past about getting one, but the price is just too high. I could build a system that mounts the blower where your fuel injection stuff is now and keeps the stock intake. I think that could be done in the 6500 � 10500 range, again depending on the parts that are used. I hope this helps. Here�s a couple pics of the new system last week�.still a lot to do.     | ||
