fun with the digicam... turbo anyone?
walter's suggestion seems to keep pecking at my lazy butt... i'm not an expert on turbos so i went on the net and got some information on them. i still don't know exactly where the plumbing goes but i guess i can still start on the pieceparts while i do a search. well here's me getting off my butt and starting my first attempt at a turbo. don't know if i can pull if off to an acceptably so we'll just have to see how the progress goes...
credit goes to walter (wkma7six) as i am referencing his turbo in his award winning itr and for giving me inspiration for this portion of the project  i start by using a pin vise to drill two holes into a piece of 40mil thick plastic sheet so as to accept the locator pins from the stock itr headers.  by doing so, i am able to use the pin vise to make guides for cutting out a rough shape for the manifolds. after removing the kit part, i fill in the holes that i created with plastic rod so that the custom part i'm creating fits onto the motor where the kit part should.   after a bit of filing, i achieved this basic shape...  since i can't find a suitable size for the piping, i decided to go about it the hard way and file down a piece of sprue. after a bit, i'm finally satisfied with the diameter. with a bit of heating, i am able to recreate a similar manifold as walter has achieved before me (haven't had time to sand it down yet so it looks rough and glazed due to welding of the plastic)   by heating another piece of sprue of the desired diameter, i made a loop and cut off one end. by heating it again, i did my best to correct the side which was cut off and filed it down to the desired shape. the last image is one of just a sprue shaped into a disk. this is going to be for the end where the exhaust exits. it doesn't need to be as complex as the intake side so i just made it easier on myself and made it into a disk.    now all that is left is to glue in some plastic tubing to connect the pieces and we should be off and running. i want a tapered and stepped look to the intake of the turbine so what i'll most likely do is glue a smaller diameter tube inside another plstic tube. that way i can taper the inside of the larger tube while leaving the step of the smaller tube inside... just to give it a bit of dimension.  that's all for now... have to get away from the model and off the computer before my girlfriend finds out that i've started 'playing' with this kit again  !a.

got a chance to take a quick pic while my sister came over with the digicam to take a pic of her kids. i changed the color scheme from blue and silver to red and black. i just got some new red pearl powder and was itching to try it out so i'll save the blue and silver scheme for another project. anyway, the pearls don't show up that well under my desk lamp so outdoor pics might be necessary to appreciate the actual color.
this kit is taking longer than i thought it would... the tubo setup that i made earlier looks a bit out of scale so i think i'll redo them... sometime... don't know when... seems like all my projects came to a standstill... hopefully i'll finish this one before the deadline as i don't have much time for hobbying as of late. anyway, here are two pics... sorry, but the pearls are hard to capture under this light.   a.

decisions, decisions...
i'm torn between putting this wing on or not. it's modified from the clk gtr that i built a while back. i'm thinking of red with a black front lip, hood and the wing. so what do you guys think? wing or no wing?
