Going to need pics of that nubby!

So, been busy with it, here's a small update...


Took the engine out. I sent the flywheel off to ClutchMasters for a new tone ring and ordered a new starter from Summit Racing. While I was waiting I put the engine back in and tried to tackle some others stuff...


Made a full 3" turbo back with 2.5" tips.

Got the flywheel back so I took the engine back out... reversed the coolant flow to exit the driverside instead of the passengerside and bolted everything up; put it back in the car.

Finished installing everything today with hopes to make it out the the cruise in PA this Sunday, but that's not going to happen; mainly in part to what I think it a bad CPS. Cranks but no start; nothing changed wiring wise, and I'm not getting any movement on the tach when cranking. Guess it'll sit til I can get a new one in.
DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD...

Going to need pics of that nubby!

I've been planning to do a build thread, once it's really ready.
But the progress is super slow.

Here's one of the older pics I have on hand.


Basically it's running and driving at this point, and I'm dailying it (one of the reasons progress had slowed down). Maybe 5-8k miles on this setup so far. Makes around 600 at the crank. Clutch slipped at 650, so I toned it down a bit.

Stock ECU, speed-density (2xMAF converted to MAP), 2 wideband lambdas pre-turbo actually doing fuel trims yadda yadda.
Definitely not fast by today's standards, but very fun, when the boost hits.

Anyway, this thread is about your car.
Your exhaust might be a bit restrictive, especially for big numbers. To give you some perspective - there's like 4psi of backpressure after the turbo on a 900hp V10 with 3" downpipes. Essentially, 450hp thru a single 3".
