New Pics and Dyno on page 5

I decided this summer that I no longer wanted a racecar, so I sold it to a friend of mine. I then picked up a 1998 Silver EK hatch with 200,000 Miles on it. I bought it from a local dealer for a steal of a price!

From there it got my old racecar motor and a bunch of new parts.

Here are the pics of the build up and install of the motor, suspension, interior parts, etc.

So far the car has been on the dyno 1 time for its break in tune. The car made ~340 hp on 7.5 psi through 2.5" exhaust. At some point I will be getting the car back on the dyno to get it up to the 550hp range.

I will try to keep this updated the best I can for the rest of the progress on the car. It has been a long time since I have made a build thread. A carbon Fiber hood, carbon lip and headlights are the next additions to the car.

 

Very nice looking car man keep us updated

 

Nice...Get that hood and lip on there. Oh and a brake upgrade.

 

Dayum. Puttin in work.

 

i forgot that you got rid of the race car and this was the new build! Good looking though, def a sick build as always from the boys at IMW!!!

 

Looking good John, max it out on that dyno already

 

This car is slow. No lie.

*waits for John to show up for work*

Haha.

Looking good man.

 

maybe if this drag srtip in york actually happens we can see it make some passes

 

haha. true story.

I am sure it will make it to a few track days this year.

 

clean clean clean

 

it seems like a nother good project , def one to put a hurtin on dereks jrsc'd k20

 

I am glad someone else thinks so too.

 

That's what you all think.

nice build

 

actually i am insanely jealous of both your cars, since my poor little hatch hasn't gotten anything fun done except a nicely dented fender and broken flca!

the magic seems to keep flying out of imw...dang you guys!

 

So far, so good! Did you rattlecan the bay?

 

Yea. I got little cans of touch up paint or whatever it is from auto zone.

It actually turned out really well. It had to be done since the bay was white from factory.

 

This is the week to try to get the car past inspection.

I have to convert everything back to OBD2 and take it in so they can plug it in. This should be fun!

I am also looking for a carbon lip if anyone knows of one!

 

hmm... stock ecu and 1000cc's have fun with that one

you should join us on the bandwagon...

-jason

 

Stock ecu, stock map sensor, stock injectors, both o2 sensors.

I am not going to join it with this car. Hint..

 

oh **** son... teg teg teg!!! haha do it!

 

awsome

 

Nice work..

 

Good stuff! Look like an expensive engine.
