How is selling parts and not talking about plans the same as "hey look at me, its gonna be a beast but I wont tell whats up" Whatever floats your boat, Im getting tired of this new "trend" lately in the FI forums. This is the reason why every car has 1 thread now/mods merge threads, and that sucks!

Now lets see if the #'s back up the hype you have created. Good luck.

 

Hey calm down. I kind of like reading threads about folks that aren't braggarts (sp?), I know that no matter my numbers, that you will still be able to out run me.

Good stuff hope everything goes well... on another note ive noticed that going with one of the top shops on the forum also includes alot of downtime due to them being so busy. How much time has your build taken up to date?

 

Well take in mind there was an injury that contributed to the additional build time and a couple of my parts being back-ordered. Motor took all together 4 weeks and with all things considered less than 3 months all together from the very beginning.

I dropped my car off about 3 weeks before they were able to get started. They are very busy and pretty well known around north GA.

If you would have taken the injury out of the equation and the early drop off, I would imagine less than 6 weeks for a complete turn around.

Yup !! Dr Doug does not use pain meds

 

Where is Dr Doug is he mia.

 

I think Doug and I are pretty cool, there are several references to him here.

He is probably the biggest factor as to why I opted to stay FI, much less build.

Against my initial wishes here is a condensed part list:

Arias ED pistons
Eagle rods
GTM cams
Brian Crower valves and springs
Arp L19
Arp hardware
3 angle valve job

and some more stuff...

The car also is running and I should pick it up tomorrow for breaking in miles.

Looking Clean Bro...

 

She lives and sounds great. I have 175 miles on her and hopefully by Saturday, a few more miles and I will make a preliminary run on my old map with 7.4 psi at their dyno day on Saturday.

This thing sounds mean! A twin disc clutch takes some getting used to big time, seriously 50 miles before I remotely got the hang of it, and honestly I am still trying to figure it out, lol.

I would imagine that the same tune should put out close to 400 whp, or at least that is the estimate by myself and few others at the shop, so time will tell.

Opinions, predictions, let me know

Craig

 

that motor looks good!

 

Solid set-up, I look forward to results. Sorry about earlier, Im a cranky beotch without my car

 

of actual said car?? Failure is immanent without pics.........

 

Completely understand, lol! It will be bigger, better, and faster than ever when you get it back I am sure.

 

Pics are coming along with videos, give me a week. I have tons of videos at the shop. They are looking good! Went out and put 30 more miles on the car, and currently sit at 300 miles to go and counting down!

 

You should look into welding that first part of the intercooler piping to the turbo rather than risk having the coupler blow out because of it running right by the exhaust manifold. I'm no expert by any means but I have seen it done on here and if you still have the engine out.......

 

Good luck with your build - looking forward to seeing the completed project in action...

 

yeah sorry fellas.. Craig and i are cool... can't light my boy up.. he gets a pass on this one

 

I just got a touch up on the a/f and left the 7 psi map. I made 380.5 whp!!! We added 0 timing and basically just made it able to boost.

There was no reason to add any timing or maximize the boost, because we are adding higher psi springs (red ones).

I think 380.5 whp uncorrected is pretty great, basically 20 whp with lower compression and cams! I will post new graphs with an old graph tomorrow to show the difference and linear improvements.
