Default Some recent work from around the shop.

This is a Celica GTS that I just finished up. Its a built motor (sleeves, rods, pistons, retainers, springs and valves) Turbo is a Precision SC61, I built the exhaust manifold, downpipe, 3" exhaust, IC piping and catch can. Unfortunately the pics of the manifold and downpipe were lost on my old computer. The owner should have them, if he does, I will post them up.







This is a 92 Civic hatch with a built B18C1 (sleeves, rods, pistons, valves, retainers, Skunk2 Pro cams, etc...) I built the exhaust manifold, downpipe, IC piping, 3" exhaust, "backdoor" intercooler end tank, catch can and welded the AN fittings to the valve cover. Should make 650whp after he brings it back for the fuel system upgrade.









This is the current project. Its a 91 Jetta coupe with a VR swap. Turbo kit is a Chinese/Ebay kit that I only used the exhaust manifold, turbo and wastegate from. The owner will be replacing those items in the near future. The SRI was bought from Vortex, took some work to make it fit properly.

Nice stuff! Did you mock up the manifold in the car on the Celica? Looks really tight back there!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Soon Ill be posting pics of an exhaust system for a 06 Cayman S. Cant wait to get a Porsche under my belt.

I do offer my customers the option of having the pipes polished but they all decline. Most of my customers are all performance driven and dont care if they have bling in their engine bays.

Its stupid simple. On the stock fan plug (the big oval one) I just used male spade connectors and connected the blue wires on the fan to the brown wire (ground) and the black wire to the red/white wire. I used the spade terminals and just taped it up just in case he wants to go back to stock. Usually the black wire on the slim fans is ground but I needed them to be pushers so I reversed it. Ill get pics up tomorrow if you'd like.

Only single speed (high) but he has no a/c so its not a huge concern.
