Here is what I have in mind.
-Built 2.0 block
-Built head and cams (not sure about cams yet)
-mini radiator
-front facing turbo kit
-35r sized turbo (most likely an HTA86)
-and all the stuff that goes along with a build like this (exhaust, intercooler, piping etc...

 

Buschur has all of that. Go with Buschur parts, you won't be dissapointed.

 

I installed a JDM rear bumper about a week ago. it was a lot more involved than i thought it would be. when I went to install the plate bracket I found that there was no way this will fit. Nothing a little cutting, bending and two rivets couldn't fix. I think the jdm bumper looks great. It gives the car a more aggressive look.

Thanks Ivan, I was at your shop for the swap meet. I sold a lot of my old STI parts there.

 

Thanks man, I have seen quite a few impressive cars come out of Buschur's.

 

Buschur is the way to go if you want a street monster!

 

Your proposed mod list leads me to believe that you are most interested in straight line acceleration. I am curious as to why you chose an AWD platform for this? The limitations of AWD and added expense over a RWD build have my curiosity peaked about your choice.

 

Im a fan of AWD turbo cars, Evo's have a ton of potential to make power. as far as straight line acceleration goes I think that the Evo is a great choice. these cars are all around winners in cornering, braking, acceleration ect... I agree that it will be expensive to build this car. But after seeing what they are capable of at the track and on the street it was a no-brainer. The AWD is limiting in the sense of top speed highway pulls, but as far as the quarter mile goes they are almost unstopable. Im not building this car with a strict purpose in mind. Its just going to be a monster on the street that may occasionally see the track

 

looking forward to see the prgress.

 

you and me both

 

lol iam in the same shoes btw, just picked me an IX GSR and itching to do that work to it, but debating on whether wait a lil bit and enjoy the warranty or do it right away. I guess i will probbaly start when things start feeling lil slow..lol

goodluck with ur setup.

 

Just ordered my exhaust today. I decided to go with the buschur V-band exhaust (starting at the downpipe). I like how the buschur exhaust looks like no other system out there, and its the lightest. They are also building it with a factory 2 bolt flange to meet up to the stock downpipe. I requested it this way for a couple reasons. it will be a piece of cake to throw the factory cat back on for emissions, and when the turbo kit gets ordered the downpipe will bolt right up. I will put up pic's as soon as I get it.
in the mean time here is a picture of the cars with the Apexi N1's and Volk RE30's I just got in.[IMG][/IMG]

 

hows the ride quality on the N1's....you daily drive your car right?

 

Its only been 1 day, but so far so good. bearing plates up front had a few squeaks here and there, the weather might be a factor it is pretty cold in Chicago. this is not a daily driven car. I'm lucky enough to have a work truck.
over all i like them, the are very light weight.

 

I think building a 2.3L engine is better, you can enjoy it at the streets track and in the corners, you got an AWD car for god sake used it every way possible
