My 2010 build thread
I don't know if most of the people on here know who I am, or follow my threads so I will start with a little bit of background, then post a bunch of pics. 
Last year around this time, the car was my daily driver, running low 10's on stock engine/head/ecu/maf, 35r kit I built, fp4r cams, 3" exhaust, e85 ect. Nice fun setup for sure. Mid summer I was racing the car at a event here in town, and the shaft on the 35r broke in half during a pass. Talk about a loud smokey mess!
I got a bad case of "while your in there" And decided to build a whole new turbo kit, port the head, and do drop ins, I bought a 6262, crower rods, and weisco1400hd pistons and got to work.
Here is a link to the 6262 kit I built.

I got everything up and running, and it hammered a rod bearing out in about 40 miles. Not sure why really, but I guess **** happens and thats how you learn. I sold the 6262 setup to a good friend of mine and took a break from the car for a while before I set it on fire.
After a break, I pulled the engine and went back to work, the crank was ruined, so I picked up a manley crank, Crower (GREAT customer support btw!) recond all 4 rods and sent new bolts. I had a local engine builder do the machine work/assbly this time. Everything turned out great, and the ptw clearance worked out well after a fresh hone to resuse the std bore weiscos.
The setup is now, fresh shortblock, same ported head, fp5r cams, kiggly springs, map head studs, billet 6765. I plan to stay e85 and stock ecu. I am in the middle of building a new turbo kit for this one, foward facing this time. They are just to baller not to have one.
I had my man Ron Shearer send me one of his garret based 4.5" fmic. I added the mounting tabs where I needed. Thanks Ronny!
Sorry if this does not make alot of sense, I will just post alot of pics now.
*note* the turbo kit in some of the pics is a friend setup I was just borrowing to break in my engine.
Sorry for the novel.

How does the front bumper fit with the 4.5" core? Did you have to trim it at all? I was going to run a 4" thick IC so that I wouldn't have to hack up my bumper... lmk if the 4.5" fits
Nice work Fathouse! Always a please to see home brew fab work.
