I haven't been here in a while I have been and still am in Iraq. I just had a few minutes to post this link to my car. I have finally fisnished the brunt of the work... well actually I paid this guy to do it lol. Rob from tpr. Here is the finished product. I drove it from ohio to california the only problems that I had were that the dumptube melted off from excessive temperatures due to??? When the dumptube broke off I wasnt sure what happened it blew a hole in my radiator and then the radiators water gushed out onto my exhaust manifold causing the bolts to crack ... basically it took all the pressure from the turbo and not the car is heading to autobachs of orange county california for some new parts. I will post new pics when its done. Here is the link to my car.

Wow, I can only imagine how that series of events panned out in real-time life.

Congrats on the build and make sure to make it home safe to drive that mother ******!

 

Thanks man. I will.

 

So who tuned it "it saysTPR?" and how much power did it make????? Thats the thing everyone wants to know and there are no numbers anywhere on there site for anything.. Everything sure does have an estimate though

Im interested in why you put a deckplate on a B16 and used an ls crank when you could have used an LS block for cheaper? Im also curious for your reasoning for the 5 main girdle? I notice that the WG was faceing the other direction in all the pics but the final i wonder why? I take it they fabbed and welded the dumptube that way?

 

TPR did tune it. They didn't it tune it well. It had many glitches. It sputtered and such. It made 426whp and 315tq. The deckplate was the builders suggestion. Same with the 5 main girdle. And about the dumptube yes he had to turn it the other way to fabricate.

 

Reason for the deck plate was because it was a B16 swapped car already.

also, the Cost is the same for a sleeved ls block or a B16a Super Deck2 Block.

Main Girdle is Cheap insurance.

Also this was a Automatic b16a cylinder head i shut the dyno run down at 6500 therefore not floating a valve or breaking any valvesprings.

The tune was also a pump gas tune/\

Like he mentioned he DROVE from Ohio to California.
