    The nut welded to the rod is probably stronger than a normal bolt. A solid bolt can stress fracture or shear at the 90° angle between the shaft surface and the bottom of the head. When its a nut slid onto a shaft and welded on the top, it doesnt have that weak spot. They did it like that for a reason.

    Compressor surge wont really hurt your turbo unless it is happening under boost. When the turbo is spooling, the last thing you want is compressed air going back into it. When it's downspooling, that's no big deal.

    Look at the cooling setup in the 'vette.

    • @axipixel5811
      @axipixel5811 5 років тому

      Flutter causes premature wear to turbos, and causes the turbo to lose rpm much faster.
      It's a cool sound but it's not a good one. The jury isn't out on how bad it is to a turbo, but it's universally agreed that it's definitely bad for them on some level. Particularly in high-pressure high-power setups. Older non-ball-bearing turbos will actually be killed really quick by it, but newer ones will take it.

    Do a 1 rotor build! There’s a channel called Team Boosted (unsure if you know about them) that are building a Porsche with a 1 Rotor 13b (6.5b?) in it.

    It would be great if you put the intake for the turbo up through the center over the radiator like the stock corvette.

    Being a Ford guy, what you have done to this poor man's Ford, (what I call Chevy's), is amazing. I freaking love this man. But I'm still dying to see the fd done.

      you call a corvette a poor man's Ford?
      I've heard some crazy Ford guy shit in my day, but that's a new one on me. which ford exactly is the corvette a poor man's version of?
      even rotary guy's that hate the ls know enough to not call for Ford swapping things. they call for the jz which should be telling you something.
