What started out simple turned as complex as a Rubix cube. After posting my parts on here and having some of the turbo gurus critique my setup. I have changed lots. I even started getting **** with my shitbox and resprayed my engine compartment, wheelwells, trunk, and relocated my battery to the trunk. I am waiting for my engine pieces to come back that I sent out for polishing, then I can start to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Right now I have parts everywhere, I hope **** doesn't get hacktic when its time to go back in. Well enough babbling already, here is my link http://community.webshots.com/user/ricketts100 Tell me what you guys think, and don't worry. I have some thickass skin so let a brother hear it.

What can I expect for whp numbers? and what don't you like about this setup. Flame if you have to, thats cool as long as you tell me why. I want this to be right and do it once, so anything you can tell me to help out would be greatly appreciated.

 

very nice mike ......good luck getting everything together.. by the way thats exactly what my car look like right now!

 

looks great. only thing I would change is get a larger exhaust..

btw, thats a clean 2nd gen u got there, but the type R stickers gotta go.

 

Are you using stock sleeves? If not I would re-sleeve it even though it cost bucks. I regret getting a block guard. Not because it has failed on me, because it hasn't, but because I want more boost! I always worry about the sleeves not holding. Thats all.

-bigger exhaust
-use stock OE cams
-LS tranny
-LSD (kaaz or quaife)
-lots of tuning

looks good tho

 

Thanks guys. I would like a sleeve the block but I just had my first born and my wife is off for the year so my cash flow situation isn't saying alot. Hopefully I can do that over the winter along with a LSD. What do you think this setup will give me (whp)?

 

looks good, but damn direp, nice ***(avatar)
