I havent posted in FI in a LONG time, so I thought Id make a re-appearance. This is my personal car, will be back up and running within a week. Apparently when you downshift to early, the engine over-revs, causing retainers to snap like toothpicks I caught it in-time so no engine destruction, but the head is in the machine shop being serviced, for a return hopefully by this weekend.
Here is the setup:
GT4088R turbo;
LoveFab Sidewinder-GT1;
4" downpipe, exhaust;
Precision 1000cc injectors;
AEM 1052 EMS;
AEM UEGO;
Precision 750hp core(contemplating V-mount still, depends on time-issues);
Stock block;
Cometic 2mm headgasket;
Supertech springs/ti retainers.
I plan on revving to 9500rpm, 14psi on pump gas; should be deep into the 400whp range, might tag 500whp
Pictures(some are old, as new parts arrive, new pictures will be up):









4" DP shots:








Just thought Id start the thread now, as the car will be coming together within the next few weeks. With dyno numbers, complete pictures etc; I miss long build-as-I-go threads

 

Ill be the first to say

Nice work. Please post dyno when available!

 

7psi it made 307whp/188wtq....ah here it is, WITH the bad head(drove the car for two months after my last track day, Im sure cylinder pressures werent great with retainers dropping the valves 3mm).

This was with the exact setup, as pictured in the first pictures, GT30/71R turbo.
Engine has 38,500 miles thus far, 15,000 of which were boosted HARD(and tracked even harder ).

 

Sick setup

 

Oh man i really shouldnt be looking at pictures like this. Sick setup Cody!

liam

 

its a big grinning shark !! hahah good job cody !

 

Sick.

Damn you cut alot out of that front bumper for your intercooler though.

Pretty much!
Borrowing a customer's manifold for a picture or three My downpipe though

 

holy ****!!!!

always crazy stuff from you. wouldnt mind some video of it when its done

goodluck

 

there will be This picture is whored out by me so far, but its primarily what I do with the car

 

what??? drift? lol

looks good, id just be worried about the bumper balooning at high speeds

 

I would of thought you guys would started to place the waste gate so it is heading more inline with the flow of the exhaust gas?. Downpipe hit the manifold at all?

Nice work

 

the downpipe does rest againts the manifold in these pics, as the 40R places the downpipe slightly differently than the more "standard" turbos But no, they dont.
There are major vehicular items in the way that prevent a perfect WG priority design, but the datalogs show that boost control is PERFECT thus far...

 

ugghhh....i canT waITTT to get mine

 

that pic of the intercooler looks nasty

 

I love the whole setup. Its so raw which makes it cool to me. The bumper looks evil but you could only pull it off with a setup like this.

exactly what I was gonna say....I might reconsider the s2k

 

Holly ******* ****. That is insane.

 

how's the rear diff holding up? i saw some people with big hp S2K's replacing the rear diff's with stouter units
either way that's sick, makes me want to get an S2K and start a new project
