I would assume getting air to cool the engine bay as a whole would be essential. Does the OEM front bumper get enough air passing through it and the bay to keep temps down?
The heat shield looks sick! 
Have you guys ever tested turbo blankets? I know we use to use those on the hondas back in the day but I don't ever see anyone using them on the evo... The look of the blankets wouldn't be an issue since the heat shield would cover them!

With Formula SAE, I had done some extensive testing with various methods of blocking heat from the back of our driver seat/firewall was some ceramic cloth. We recieved it from Howmet as they use it in their titanium casting process.

I don't own any cars that belong on this forum, but after coming across this thread a while ago I had to join to subscribe to this thread, and now I can no longer lurk in silence. The work being done here is amazing! I've always known AMS does good stuff, but this is just wild! Keep it up, I'm eagerly awaiting more updates .

Thank you noob5000000!
On with some more updates:
NHRA regulations require a parachute on a car trapping more than 150mph in the quarter mile. Considering Frank and Mikes GT-R cut a 146.9mph on its maiden 9 sec pass we knew Chucks was going to need a parachute.
Justin stepped up the plate and built onto the existing cage with one hell of a parachute mount. The best part is the mount can be removed and the license plate installed in about 5 minutes and nobody is the wiser.
Imagine setting up a street race with a GT-R and all of a sudden he whips out a parachute to attach to the car....hahahaha
and on with the pictures:
This is going to be my new background!
We still have to paint the new bar supports but it came out GREAT!

The AMS GT-R SR series Turbo kit is really starting to take shape now. With custom silicone now here and attached the kit is almost ready for testing.
In the pictures below you will see much of what won't be visable in the car. This setup is what will go on Tim sanders GT-R. Chucks will be a little larger.
Also the Compressor outlet pipe for Chuck and Tim's car will be hand welded as is seen in the pics but the production kits will have a casted aluminum piece in its place with a smoother transition and more OEM like fit and finish.
With all of this done the next step is to finish the oil and water lines and drop the engine back in the car. From there we can finish the downpipes and finally get Tim's car on the dyno!
I can't wait to hear what these turbo's are going to sound like with that intake pipe on there
I love this viewpoint! You can really see the size of these turbo's from this angle.
Keep in mind in the below picture that intake pipe is unfinished. We merely had a pipe in there for clearance reasons. The final version will of course be all the way to the front of the car.
