Ok so regarding that pic when running hybrid boost how should i set the lines up assuming im pulling vaccum off the nipple on the intake manifold?

also its twin tial 44s so i have to route to two wastegates can you help me? lol

 

I was. That little filter you see in my other pictures i had that on.

When the car was idling though when it was on the trailer and wrecked the next day i fired it up and forgot i put a rubber glove over the turbo inlet and put the filter over the glove and you can only guess what happened.

I fired the car up and the turbo ate the glove and spit it out of the charge pipe lol. (FMIC was not on the car at this time, so the pipes were just open.)

The turbo didn't seem to care, it just ate the glove and kept going like it was nobodies business. I did have to dig the pieces of glove out of the circle holes though.

I don't think dirt/grass will damage your turbo, its more hard objects like rocks or something to damage the blades.

You're welcome.

Thanks Brian. Ya hitting a deer would total your car pretty easily. worse then my accident most likely.

Ya we both crashed evos

It'll be back together 100% very soon I cant wait to drive it around. I only got 1 mile down the road when this crash occured, so I didnt even have 1 mile on the new setup and crashed it. The trip was reset to 0 and it shows 0.9 miles now.

I have no idea. That's something I have to figure out. I will update with how to do it when i figure it out. most likely it wont even be necessary though with your 2.0L and 6466. it will not drop boost.

I could help with that yes. I never ran a twinscroll t3 setup though.

 

Here is an update of the car. I temporary put the bumper on tonight with the FMIC not on the car. The FMIC is currently being repaired at Buschur's and they are making me a new FMIC also, because I'm selling the old one to one of my customers.

Buschur helped me out a lot price wise with the new FMIC so i appreciate that allot. They take great care of their vendors and their customer support for me has always been top notch.

Everything seems good color wise it matches, and everything lines up real nice. I will not have any gaps in the headlight or anything off once i adjust everything properly. I put the wing back on also temporary because I wanted to change its look a bit. The wing will probably be back off in 2 weeks. lol.



For those interested, heres a list of everything i had to replace and do to bring this car back to where it was before.
I did everything myself except for installing the radiator support & painting the parts.

New Front bumper / new mesh / etc
New Lip
New front fender covers
New rear fender covers
Use the exhaust expander tool i have and removed a huge dent in the exhaust pipe
Bend back in place the driveshaft bracket support. It was bent quite a lot.
New oil cooler
New side skirt
New front entire radiator support piece
Remove rocks from the tire (yes there was rocks in the one tire lol)
New BR Race FMIC
Fix IC piping
New Couplers

I think that's everything. It wasn't to bad, it could have been much worse.

I need to paint the mesh on the hood, since it is not black in some areas.

I am also still finding mud in the car and in the engine bay. I'm sure ill be finding that for a long time.

 

She looks great! I'm glad it wasnt THAT bad but still sucks you had to pay for some stuff you already had...at least the paint is fresh now

 

 

If anyone has questions regarding the wastegate feel free to ask its easy to set it up if you read that guide carefully.

Must share the FMIC note I got also.






Here is the car 100% complete and repaired:

 

Nice to see her back on the road again. There is really no way to explain how hard a 750-800+whp car can be to control. Especially on your first pull. Mine on 255/40/17 rs3's would boil the tires away deep into 3rd. Granted, it was like 40 degrees out, but still.....I highly recommend to put the car on streetable drag radials. It will make it hook like no ones business.

 

lol @ Buschur's FMIC tape note!

 

David cracks me up , nice work Tom

 

Sick build

 

When will you be tuning it again?

 

I'm glad to see she's back up and going! You're going to have a lot of fun with that setup. I'll never forget the first night we tuned my 6466 on E85. Remember the words you told me, "be careful, that car is dangerous!"

 

Ya now add about 10% more torque for the 2.4L vs your 2.2L and you have a useless car pretty much. I think a 2.4 is nice and all, but there is a limit to how much tq you really want & need. I hope my car can hook with the new wheel/tire combo but i have a feeling its not going to.

The 4.11 really loads the car up also, so it spools insanely fast downlow. I have not got into it yet fully, but i did run it on wastegate pressure a few times and it is a adrenaline rush to say the least.

Nick wrote that haha.

Nick wrote that. Thanks Oz

Thank you.

Soon as it gets 60F. I dont trust the car on cold roads right now.

Thanks Steve. Yes It is awesome i love it so far. I got on it a bit on wastegate pressure and it was a handful as is. I think on wastegate its around 680whp.

My goal for this car was 770whp @ 33psi. I think its do able since its got a FF vband kit and everything on it should make power.

The 4.11 really make it load up quick also. It spools scary fast.

 

Tom your build is very impressive as thats what I would expect out of you and nothing less. In for your new power #'s as soon as you complete your tuning of the new setup.

 

I made a little driveability video to show the characteristics of the car. This is with not logging the vehicle yet, so technically a blind tune per say. I did flash new maps to the vehicle, but only changed a very limited amount of stuff blindly.


and another shot of the POS outside (finally)
