haha. I just noticed it when I took a second look at the rear suspension (damn fine again btw). Its stealthy but a nice under axle exhaust might complement the rear nicely...

 

blacked out intcoler pics coming son and i may paint the added rear suspension components black as well... stealth mode... any suggestions against my idea?

 

I like the turn down exhaust.

Hot setup! I'd say lower that thing a little bit though.

 

um....is that blue hose I see hanging underneath the front end of the car the oil return hose?

Anyways, getting the car painted and hacking the bumper support so the FMIC fits better would make it into a nice car

 

few pics i took... i added a little cover over my turbo and i painted my front bumper black (along with the intercooler) until i can afford to get the entire car repainted... the red bumper was killing me...

 

dynoed today at 410.5 whp and 280.7 ftlbs on 17 psi and 93 octane. IATS were at 95 degrees... after taking it on the street they dropped to 65.... estimating 430whp now off of street adjustments.....

Amazing numbers! And a sleeper look too.

 

Thought I would bring my build thread back from the dead. I have since added a lip to cover up the bottom of the intercooler that was hanging down and managed to get that blue oil line to finally stay in its place. I would tie it up and it would pop off over and over again. I also got new floor mats now as you can see. I am in the process of getting my manifold HPCCoated, new low temp thermostat, new powersteering pump, and the B&R catch can kit installed. I will get picks up as soon as i get the manifold back... im waiting to get that before i put everything else together. Any thoughts are appreciated

 

I just got my exhaust manifold HPCCoated. I think it looks great! Also catch can is in place just need to finish hoses.

 

My engine build is finally complete now its just time for a retune. I have managed to fix my overheating issues with the buddyclub thermoswitch i am now idling at 187.8 compared to 201.5. i got my hoses all cut for the catch can and i think it looks great. i am planning on repowdercoating my valve cover with a gloss black and the intake charge pipe gloss black as well. let me know what youll think

I think this build doesn't get nearly enough credit as it deserves.

 

haha thanks... paint job will be coming soon and im going to lower the car about an inch all around so...

 

car is getting painted right now... i have a question. i want to cut 2 about 5x3 inch holes in my front bumper. 1 going to the radiator and the other in from of the ac. I am trying to get better airflow. I want to do this looking as nice as possible. I would like to be able to make the cuts in the bumper and insert some time of piece to make it look cleaner. like a black plastic insert or something. does anyone have any ideas?

 

bump for an answer to the question about cutting holes in my front bumper for air flow to the radiator

 

I heard this thing was slow.

 

hey crazy, check this thing out.

I just had my block cleaned up with new rings and bearings. My head has been ported and polished with a 3 angle valve job and new ferrea valve seals. I also have just got my paint job. I know the pics suck but hey... its an update... i should have everything together and retuning NEXT WEEKEND! I changed from hondata to neptune and i got a BBK intakemanifold and 70mm RPM throttle body. I hope to make the same power as before like 400 whp on 15psi

 

new setup in place



sides, front and rear shots with it painted and lowered






you can see my 13x9 lensos



and a picture of my pup for the hell of it

 

hopefully i can get some opinions.... i am getting ready to REdyno.... i have always had overheating issues but i talked with T1Racing it that probably is going to get fixed before dyno day.

I am going to be making a 3 inch intake with a kn filter.... i have all that...

Going to order T1's vacuum block

Is there any last second recommendations on additional parts I should probably get before i redyno? I will also be hooking up the ectune and boost by gear

How are you gonna run neptune and ectune?

Lookin' good man. I still haven't seen under the hood in person yet. When are we going to the strip!?

 

the holes in your front bumper look stupid.
