Ronnie's 06 SSL Build Thread
I figured I'd finally make a build thread considering it's been a 4 year ordeal with this car.
I purchased the car in August of 09 in Brooklyn. A buddy of mine found the car for me and it was a super deal, with only 39xxx miles. Even if I paid the same amount today for the car it would've been a deal. It had a bad clutch so I bought an Exedy twin for it right away. Since then the car has been through multiple setups with many dollars spent. Last season the car started out around 450hp with a "break in" tune made in Ohio by the owner of ECS. I took 2nd place in Evo Stock Appearing in Ohio. Then after a few mods and E85 the car made around 600whp on a FP Red and blew up and took the motor out with it. Right now the car is together with a whole new setup that is making me poor quickly. I'll try to do a quick rundown of mods on the new setup: engine (2.0): -GSC S3 cams -Kiggly valve springs with Ti retainers -Supertech Inconel Exhaust valves -Supertech Nitride coated Intake Valves -ARP L19 head studs -Wiseco HD2 10.5:1 pistons -Manley TurboTuff I-Beam rods -Clevite bearings -ARP rod bolts/ARP mains -Fluidampr crank pulley -Dimple brand magnetic drain plug -STM oil cooler delete fuel: -AEM fuel rail -FIC 2150cc Injectors -Aeromotive adjustable fuel pressure regulator -Buschur Dual Fuel Pump Setup (2 modified walbro 255s) -stock feed/return lines intake: -MAP Rev2 Ported Intake Manifold -Mil.Spec ported throttle body -VR Speed short route UICP -Tial Q BOV -Buschur 4" race intercooler -Buschur lower ic pipe -4" JMF speed density intake pipe -9" AEM Dryflo air filter -Calan Catch can setup -10 to VC exhaust: -JDL T3 tubular manifold -PTE 6466 T3 .82AR Turbo -JDL v-band o2, dump, downpipe -VR Speed/Muse vband cat-back -Tial MVR 44mm Wastegate suspension: -Fortune Auto "drag spec" coilovers -Wedsport TC105N 17x9.5" rims with Dunlop Direzza 255/45 -Project Kics R40 NeoChrome Revo lugs -Stock EVO MR BBS with M&H 245/45 Drag Radials drivetrain: -Shep Trans rebuilt with Evo 8 3rd/4th gears -Shep Trans built acd tcase with hardened ring/pinion -Quaife LSD in tcase -Quartermaster 8leg Twin disc -AWD Motorsports aluminum driveshaft -Torque Solution driveshaft bushings exterior/interior/gauges: -fiberimages cf hood -rexpeed side skirt cf extensions -damd cf rear extensions -ralliart replica cf front lip -cf vortex generator -OEM evo rain guards -evo 7 jdm tail lights -35% tint -jvc 7" tv w/navigation -aem wideband -aem 50psi boost gauge -aem 150psi oil pressure gauge -works short throw shifter -titanium shift weighted knob -JVC in-dash navi/dvd -viper alarm The whole motor setup now has around 2000 miles on it and was recently road tuned by TSCOMP in Ohio right before the DSM/EVO shootout. It makes roughly 770hp/545tq and in Ohio I was able to do a 10.11 @ 144.78 with a crappy 1.72 60ft. I'm very happy with what the car is doing and it's pretty much issue free at this point. I am going to be changing some things around to make the setup more efficient so I'm probably done driving it for the season. I would love to run 9s before the end of the year but I'm not in a rush. |
Looks like a monster

I didn't realize how long it's been since I updated this.
My last motor was short lived, and spun a bearing which then bent/ejected a rod and took out just about everything in the entire bottom end. I was REALLY close to parting it out but instead took time (and LOTs of money) to get the car back together. Now it's a mad dash to hopefully get it together to be able to take it to Ohio this year. Here is a rundown of some of the stuff I changed this year: -sent the head out to be ported by Curt brown which includes ported oil return ports to allow oil to get to the pan faster -AMS oil pan -English Racing oil pump sprocket -90 DSM oil pump gears (straight cut instead of helical) -brand new Wiseco HD 9:1 pistons -brand new Manley Turbo Tuff rods -new o-ring'd .020 over block -custom to my specs assembly by Larry's Auto Machine in Groton, CT -ceramic coated hot parts -powdercoated brembos, vc, wg, bov, turbo compressor by Justin @ Detective -Frontline Fab CAS covers -Rota Slips with Hoosier QTPs / Extended front wheel studs / aluminum spacers -TRE rebuilt tcase with new oem ring and pinion and ACD removal -quik-latch bumper quick removal -Mirage radiator (evo4-6 upper hose setup, thinner for better turbo fitment) Now on to the pictures!!
