Filled it up with water and antifreeze this morning,checked the oil level and uploaded the new tune for the 52# injectors. Cranked it over and it VROOOOM!!!!!So far it all looks well,no leaks and no unusual noises,sounds great,lots of new parts making lots of smoke and burning off the new. Heres a few pics, this time around i rebuilt the whole downpipe/exhaust side with 3" piping and added a bigger 44MM wastegate.I have to take it easy for the next 500 miles to let the rings seat and the for the clutch to break in....so far so good,if it breaks again im getting a KIA!!

 

holy **** thats nice... did you do all the piping yourself? what kind of intercooler is that? what kind of power is it putting down? any more furtheraway pics of the entire engine bay?

 

Congrats Paul... Looks great again glad to hear you got the beast up and running again with your improvements... Good luck to you hope all stays perfect and you keep safe... You going to cruise on 27... Hope so would love to see and hear your beast in action -TJ

r u joshing with me? The central fla cruise on the 27 of June

 

watch out cruising down the florida highways, some weird creatures on there. i hit a giant snake in a rental towncar a couple years back and did quite a bit of damage.

thanks for the album, some great pics in there. are you going to put a grill in to protect the intercooler? any more info on what intercooler your using or is it a secret?

 

looks awsome ***** nice work and congrats

 

would you believe me if i told you it was a ebay $80 shipped to my door intercooler? Justin from VMP said on my last dyno that it was doing a real good job on the temps too!

i have a Street scene mesh grill i may put in there.

just got back from my second trip,10 miles this time, just taking little trips not too far from home to make sure things are OK.So far so good.
