Awesome thread kaj!

I am planning on doing the same, simple.

I love my stockish IX

Thanks! I gotta say I've been enjoying the car a lot more without all the needless excess. Stuff just works.
I keep getting told it's not much to look at, though. LOL

 

I ended up making my own turbo oil feed line, still using FP's filter. I saved $75 over the price of their line. I could have used MAP's, but i preferred to stick with the FP filter because i know it works. Not shown is the male union, plug for the head, BSPT fitting for the OFH, and banjo fitting for the turbo that are already in the garage. Budget build FTW.



I pulled the turbine housing from the Green. It's being sent out for porting and ceramic coating. I also de-badged the comp cover. Once the turbo is together, I'll scuff up the spot where the plate was mounted. Between that and getting dirty over the next year, It should pass visual, I'd think.


















I'm also kinda. sorta, a LITTLE bit thinking about how bad i want to run wider wheels. Generic fender flare fitment. hm.......

 

Wanting an fpgreen badly. You're lucky to have one! Going to be fun.

 

car looks nice Kaj. i am waiting to see how your new Green works out. i have a s/s green HTA. your MHI version should be real nice

 

450whp on a very safe track tune. Gentle timing, generous fuel, and around 24-25psi of boost, I think. I'll post the dyno sheet tomorrow.

 

were those re30s or rotas?

 

Rotas. No way am I daily driving on $3000 wheels LOL.

dyno sheet added to post #1.

Trans broke after 115k un-maintained miles from previous owner. Input shaft died... So a 5spd is going in next week. I'm kinda bummed as i love the 6spd, but the 5 just has a TON more support. Plus, buying a used 6 scares the crap out of me (I could find no transmissions from anyone I knew or could be vouched for). So, 5spd it is.

 

Love seeing the HLA Pressure Regulator in mod lists for builds like this, it really is cheap insurance for the 4G63. Thanks for involving us in the project, and keep up the good work.

 

Of course, not a problem. Its super easy, cheap, and is super functional. Doesn't make sense to not out one in.

 

What is your best lap time around Buttonwillow CW13?

 

wow thats awesome at that boost...there's plenty left in it!!! your mhi easily spools at least 500rpm sooner than my s/s

 

@ (344whp) and a track partly covered in mud and damp spots, 2:04.xxx.
I probably could have gone faster, but my group had people spinning off course every lap. You never knew where new mud would be on course LOL

Thank you. I ran out of fuel pump, so I'm stuck where I'm at LOL. I'm contemplating a pump upgrade.

 

So, finally got the safety equipment thing handled.

HANS
HANS quick releases
Roll bar
harness installed
Fixed-back seat

It wasn't cheap, so I don't know when I'll be able to afford another track day.... but at least I'll be ready LOL. The car was getting fast enough that I was really worried to push it.
I got a new OEM alternator. My car has been doing some weird stuff lately that I've linked to the old one. For $275, I hope this fixes my problem.
The Weir 12-plate rear diff pack finally showed. This should stop my car from spinning the inside, rear wheel on tight turns, when I am tripodding.




dirty.. but cleaned up well.
