First start up

Spent a decent amount of time re-organizing and tidying up the engine bay. Check out the before and after.



Washed the car today with my friend, it was pretty dirty. I'm gonna start body work on it soon so I can paint the ugly bastard!



Numbers and drag times soon to come

 

Awesome build man. Can't wait to see the finished product and the numbers the BW will give you. Good luck with everything.

 

in on the second post for what sounds like a BEAST build

 

+2mm oversized valves damn. Nice build.

 

looks like an awesome build. Whose building you the ff manifold? twin scroll right?

Also, what's the cars purpose? street? track?

 

wow interesting build! Care to share more info on the terms "deburred" and polish oil pump? Pm me if you dont wanna discuss it here.

 

Subsribed!! I thought you're selling your bw turbo. Is this the same one? or you have an extra one?! I'm anxiously waiting for the efr 8374 or 9180 results before making my final decision on the turbo. 7670 is pretty convincing so far . My fabricator told me that it is very possible to fit an efr turbo without sacrificing the a/c and radiator even with a t4 ts setup. ( non FF ) It has to be external wastegates though. I'm fine with 2 external dumptubes

Good luck with your build. I'm sure this is going to be a beast!!

 

I would like info on this too. And also your modified water
Pump. They both sound interesting. You can pm me if you want. Thanks

 

Sounds like it is going to rip! Goal PSI? Hopefully everything holds up!

 

In for more

 

Subscribed to this thread for sure! Good luck with everything.

 

sub'd, build looks sick man.

 

A guy on here, he makes a bad *** manifold for good price. Its not twin scroll, those are impossible to find right now.

The cars purpose right now is going to be daily street use for a while until I get a beater for the winter. I'm going to be dragging it too, want to run 10's on pump and 9's on e85. Not sure how far I want to go with that though.

The spring time I'm going to focus on improving the handling and braking aspects of the car for road racing, maybe some auto-x but not sure at this point.

Ya we are going to R&R the oil pump to deburr and polish the drive gears. Basically it will help reduce wear and my builder said he has seen the gears start to eat into the housing so it will help prevent that.

I was selling for a friend and I finally decided I wanted it rather then a 6266 or HTA86.

IIRC from my reading.
The water pump has to do with the 6mm taller deck, what happens is the pump doesn't cover one of the water jackets completely so it requires a spacer or a pump that is modified.

Umm probably 40+ psi, whatever it takes to destroy some records.

 

Nice. I wanted this turbo but the wait and the inability to bolt it up to my manifold without modifying the body was a deal breaker.

 

Small update. Blueprinted the engine today. The align hone, bore and hone are done. Just need to file fit rings and assemble.

Here some pictures.
