approx how much is this build costing you, if you dont mind me asking ?

 

lol just copy each of his mods on the list to google and you got the price, add it up and you got the total

 

Its alot for sure. I pray its worth it!
Its enough to make you very excited and terribly nervous at the same time lol.

Does that help?

 

Appreciate the heads up. I think I will have to wait though. If it runs well and I don't max out the turbo or injectors I am ok with that. Just looking for power with longevity and reliability!

 

Good luck man!

 

nice!

 

If this was answered before I'm sorry but whatever's the compression ratio?

 

Going 9.5 to 1. Didn't really want a super high compression motor so this was a nice compromise.

 

I went 9-1. After that you are more likely to detonate on pump unless e85 or race has.

 

looks good, cant wait to see it finished

 

What were your compression numbers?

 

If I remember right.
70, 95, 75, 85 and leak down was over 40% across the board

 

Quick Update.

Still no word on the motor so it has not been assembled and put in yet. Hopefully soon! I am really starting to miss the car. The transmission has been built and is ready to be put in.

I have also had some additions made to the list.

Added the Fp Zephyr with the ss o2 housing (got a great deal and could not pass it up)
Added the entire ets fmic kit with short route piping
Added the ets small battery kit
Added the tial waste gate and bov
Added the QM 8 leg with HRB and the heavy flywheel
Instead of the fic injectors we are going to go with the ID2000s

I won't be able to max the car out till I go with the double pumper with switch but, it should make good power for now. I will do this at the same time I build the t-case.

Hopefully will get some good news about the car getting into final assembly soon! Really can't wait to drive it again.

And as soon as I get some pics I will post them.

Really missing the car today The suns out and I have a 3 day weekend. Was hoping to show it off at the local street car event this weekend. Maybe next year!

Still no word on the motor. A few weeks ago the short block had still not been brought back to the shop and thats the last I have heard. Hopefully will get good news this week!

 

I know what you mean about being excited. My 8 is getting basically getting everything you're doing to yours besides the fp red, I'll be on stock turbo for awhile unfortunately. GL with your build though!
