Hey guys, check out the software we developed for managing performance shops. Since it looks like you document your builds extremely well it might come in handy. Www.myshopassist.com. Your customers will love you, I promise

We're back after the long weekend. I hope everyone had a good holiday.

Turbo installation.







Another Engine build in progress. 156mm rod 4G64.





A 2G DSM we built getting a new turbo.











I'll finish off today with a teaser shot of a shop car we're building.

Drivetrain fluid change, and oil change on this Evo X.



This Porsche 964 has a custom intercooler we fabricated in house. The car came to us with a built 3.8L motor, twin 35r turbos, individual throttle bodies, supporting mods, and a Motec ECU. We designed a new intercooler for the car, got rid of the ITB set up and put back stock intake manifold and throttle bodies, and built new intakes. We also did a complete re-wire on the Motec harness.



We're continuing the work on this 2G









Pre-dyno inspection



Followed by tuning.

Dave is going to break in the motor and the transmission before he tunes the car.

Yup, it's a fresh engine and a fresh trans with many new parts. Plus the E85 in the tank is a little old, so I'm going to burn through this tank, drain/fill the trans and engine oils, then hit the dyno! It should be on the dyno this Sunday if all goes well. So far my datalogs show impressive spoolup. This turbo has a great sound during spoolup! I can't imagine how much more fun it's going to be once tuned.
