More updates to come bud. I'm pulling the motor shortly. Then the engine bay will be under construction as i clean it up and pull everything that's not needed. I'm keeping a excel file of all the weight reduction i'm doing on the car as i go. So ill probably post that info up when i'm done. But thanks for the heads up ill take a look at the brackets.

 

Looking good man gah I wish I had more sponsors to back me. I have a question if u don't mind but why s3 cams with stock turbo? Would that not be overkill? I'm no expert but I've always heard turbos bigger than 67mm and up run those. I know it might be a stupid question but I know u don't learn nothing unless u ask right haha. Keep the updates coming the record breaking season for ya is just right around the corner

 

I cant thank my sponsors for being on board and helping me out! Absolutely amazing to have their help, knowledge, and support, I wouldn't be able to do it without them! And i cant wait to get this car done and out racing. Very excited and hoping to achieve my goals. This is only the first of my goals.

As far as the cams go, this was decided on after much discussion with Jamie @ Dynotech and head changes to come to the car and what i need to achieve my goal. Where I'm focusing on and need the power these cams will help me. I need to squeeze every ounce of power and drop every pound of weight i can to achieve my goals, but for the average car they would be of no benefit in areas of power you would give up and see gains. Maybe ill do some testing during the season with different cams if i get time.

Pm me if you want more info and ill be happy to tell you more. And exactly learning is what the industry is all about, you have to learn everyday or you fall behind, feel free to ask questions anytime!

 

Hey bud, pm me a price on the FP4r's.. Also still got that driverside door panel still? I'm finally ready to buy lmao.. The tear is driving me nuts

Nice updates Tyler! Shes coming along bud Cant wait to see this beast this year.

 

Me either, looks like i have some new parts coming for the car too to drop some weight and and let her breathe better.

 

UPDATE! You guys better get used to this thread being bumped going to be a ton of updates over the next couple of weeks as i push to get this car done before april 28!

Anyway today i installed the BR double pumper finally after it had been frustrating me with getting the dam hose to slide past the fuel tank and today literally slipped by in 2mins effort thank god! that is almost all buttoned up. Installed the new Avid rear motor mount, as well as removed some engine bay parts so i could do some cutting and trim work including the condesnor mount so i can fit the koyo half radiator in there. Pulled out the wiper fluid tank in the trunk and began to label everything in the engine bay as the motor is being pulled this week thanks to the nice engine stand i bought today from harbor freight As well as redid some stickers to make them look better and clean out some of the empty boxes cluttering up the car. More progress to come Wednesday. Im going to work on this as much as i can.

More updates to come shortly!

Mini Update!!! Setup Changes!! Due to recent events i will now be running a ToxicFab 4.5 inch FMIC on my car with a very cool ToxicFab Stencil! Also major weight reduction is beginning on the car and many things will be ripped out and changed here shortly as well as an up and coming trip to DynoTech! More updates to come shortly!

 

why are you gonna use a heavy *** 4.5" intercooler for your stock turbo record?

 

Y not? it will help for next turbo setup, help with power up top a lil bit, only slightly heavier than the previous 4 inch core, and wont really affect spool. Really just better all around decision for my car!

 

love this build! sub'd

 

Thanks!! Appreciate the support. We expect big things out of this car not only this season but the following years as well. Trying to buckle down and get her done by April!

 

Looks sick to me

 

Thanks bud! looks like a mess to me right now. But when its all done its going to look insane!
