Just so you can fully appreciate the massiveness of the wastegate, here is a shot of it beside a 38mm gate. The valve is a tad bigger than one beside it for comparison.

What size & hp rating do those gates have? :eek:

They're 60mm gates. I have no idea how much horsepower they'll support. A lot.. but since we're going to run alcohol, I figured it was best to be able to flow as much air as possible.

Found out today that the fuel pump we'll be using is rated at 20 gallons A MINUTE.... so 1200 gallons an hour.

Here's a little something for the haters.

I want to know where you are going to put the flux capacitor.... to power up all those necessities...? That thing is going to need one mean alternator....and power distribution system...

Looks sick guys!

We're not going to run an alternator. We're going to run 1 16V battery. The pump is belt driven.

Some guys have tried running a MAG, not sure if it is worth it though.
Thanks for showing us the new goodies!
