Twin Turbo / Supercharged 1941 Willys

[Kanedge]

Seems how I'm a newbie to this forum, I thought I would post up some of my recent builds.

This one is one of my favourites, as I tried quite a few new things on it.

I know the engine is not technically correct, but I don't build that way.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Thanks for looking.

i like it so far. got any more pics of the motor in detail?

[Kanedge]

Thanks for the comment.

Here is the motor for you.

some nice detail work there but I know that you know the engine setup is wrong but I will point out the turbo system is wrong incase you did think its right,you have the outlet of the turbo(compressor side)going straight into the inlet manifold which is ok but you have an intercooler set up which is supposed to have the outlet pipe from the turbo run through the intercooler and then into the inlet manifold,where you have the pipes running into the intercooler is where you should be mounting the air filters,great work otherwise

I really like the color Combination. .

[Peter Lombardo]

Wow Kane, that is great....I love the Twin Turbo plumbing and detailing. That is a great build. The paint ain't too bad either! Talk about Over-Kill....you have Twin turbo's feeding a Supercharger....how will that engine hold it's self together under a heavy load???? Seriously...that is a cool build!

Ahhh The simple wonderfulness of models! Pete's right it DOES look good! I can see where it can be commented on though, because I myself can't SEE where the AIR goes in. But ya know what? WHO CARES!!! it LOOKS GREAT!!!! And THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS! You seem to be happy with how it looks , and I don't blame you,I like it and I think it looks GREAT! Excellent paint, color choice, engine detail, (even if it's not perfect!) wheels, it came out NICE!!!!! :)

x2 Hola Bro Hernandez! I say keep on wit the keepin on! Every model ever built differs from another in so many ways! this is one crazy cool lookin build-up. @ Mr. Lombardo never mind pre-load and all that good stuff gotta worry bout how much rubber is left on the tires LOL Now thats a considerable amount of power comin from this brute!!! Job totally well done!

peace

ya .. who cares that the plumbing isn't perfect.. it looks fantastic! Too bad it doesn't have a hinged front clip to show it all off.

I'm curious what you used for the blue connectors on the turbo plumbing .. I have one in the works that was getting the same treatment.

[stevehansen]

Great engine detail and the rest is well done as well

[Trae]

Wow, outstanding work there!

[Cesar Bossolani]

Monster engine bro!! I'm afraid to ride on... LOL

Super clean job!! Really like it!! Believe in me... at moment I didn't know if existed a supercharged & twin turbo engine. I was never seen one before... I was go to google and I found a lots of them. I was impressed with references and specialy with your build. You have a lot of skills!!!

Thanks to share us!

Nice looking ride. The twin turbo/ blower combo pays homage to Rick Dobbertin's Nova and J2000 1:1 cars. Keep going.

Thanks for the very kind comments everyone.

I know the engine isn't perfect and would never run, but the idea was that the intercooler at the front was instead the induction system for the turbos.

I thought about having the front removable, but at that stage I had got too far into the build and it was getting out of hand, hence the reason it doesn't.

The supercharger belt is made from Modellers seatbelt material.

The turbo plumbing is solder and the connectors are made from blue heatshrink material, with signwriting vinyl for the straps and a photoetch nut. BMF would probably work but it didn't seem to stick as well.

Once again, thanks everyone.

Absolutely love this thing my friend, very clean and great all around details! The turbo plumbing looks amazing!!!

[CaptainAhab]

[vizio93]

The plumbing may not be technically correct, but the idea of putting the turbo chargers down in the front fender wells on a Willys coupe is awesome!!

I remember many years ago seeing an article on a super charged Testarossa with twin turbos. What a beast!!

Thanks for sharing,

[Jantrix]

REALLY impressive. What did you make the turbo plumbing with? Solder?

[Eric Stone]

The work is very clean, nicely done, but the thing looks silly with the turbo plumbing all wrong, IMHO.

[Modelmartin]

The work is very clean, nicely done, but the thing looks silly with the turbo plumbing all wrong, IMHO.

Actually, It's the new closed loop turbos!

It's a seriously cool model, regardless!

he did explane it was an intake,every engine needs an intake.it may not of started out as a filter,but it ended up as one

I like the effort and end resault
