I'll let him explain the photos

I'd like to see the finished product since I was considering putting my IC in the same spot.

Hey tens_and_twenties, what gives with the Tod Kaneko Avatar?

Due to the fact that this site allows you a very small allowance for image size (10K or less ), that's the only 510 pic I could find that fit. It would be great if they'd offer you the ability to host an offsite avatar, then I could use my car.

you could maybe resize your avatar so that it is under 10k?

This could take a minute or two.
First of all, some history. This turbo project started about five years ago on a B-210. It then got transfered to a 1200 when the B-210 was sold. (Well, traded for a 1200 to be exact.) I built the "crossover" pipe (from the exhaust manifold to the turbo), the mount, and the oil return hose on a mockup car. The project then went back into storage when I moved the shop across town.
Some of you with sharp eyes might recognize the car as Gil from the photo album. Gil was being converted into Mini-Pearl with the installation of a Z-20 and automatic for my mom. Halfway through that project, a 510 (1600) came along and became Mini-Pearl, but that's another story and can be found elsewhere. Gil became Gilligan, as in Gil again, but I digress.
Now, the turbo project had been resurrected for another car. (I had a butt load of machine work done to get a good solid engine going for the project. Pictures of that can be found in the photo album also.) Problem is, someone came along and wanted to buy that car. This left me with a large investment in a "turbo A-13" engine with no home. I decided that Gilligan needed the A-13 turbo rather than the Z-20 since I had already done a Z-20 1200, The Chickenhawk.
Whew! Now to the pictures. Picture one shows the Saab Blackstone (or Blackstone from a Saab as the case may be) intercooler sitting in the heavily modified radiator core support. The B-210 radiator has been moved as far to the (US) driver's side as possible. The black pipe that says "Turbo Intercooler" is being fitted. It will sit lower when finished.
Picture two shows the Mitsubishi turbo, one from a twin turbo 3000GT, sitting on its mount attached to the motor mount. The battery is from a Mazda Miata, nice and small. Under the intercooler is a heat shield covering the air filter. The heat shield also serves as a support for the intercooler while I get it all mounted up real nice.
Well, that's about it for those pix. Thanks to John for getting those posted for me. We'll have more as progress, um, well, progresses.

Tried that with little success.

Do you dislike my avatar that much?

...and thanks to dimlight65 for the description.

Where have you been Dimlight? Are you becoming a loner? We lost sight of yo for a while, do not be a stranger, drop in sometimes.
Jaime.

Ah, this explains all....ignore my other post.

Just curious....what is the reason you couldn't have mounted the intercooler and turbo on the other side?
This would make all the pipework shorter and neater, and giving you better responsiveness and shorter spool up time.

Nice airhorns by the way...

don't mix up the airhorn hosing with the turbo cos you'll spool up and hear la coucha racha

Twin horns from a diesel locomotive are bigger, therefore better
