[Mook]

holy christ

eta on completion?

 

[Handsome Jesus]

haha I wish I knew... lots more involved.

Need a bigger turbo. Need a cowl hood. I have just about everything else except a nitrous setup. oh and an 80E trans

I'd really like to see it running next summer.

 

[Yaj Yak]

haha wow.

but why!? why not just use those headers you built to a crossover... ?

 

[Handsome Jesus]

Crossover turbo setups have been done. they do OK, but equal length primaries are always gonna be better...

Would rather be unique. this should prove to be beneficial as far as spool times go...

Need to order material for the 3.5" downpipe now.

unfortunately I leave for school on Wednesday. LAME.

[Handsome Jesus]

I must say that james takes a big part in this, so I can't take all the credit...

but yeah I like the results

 

[syP]

i figured so much.


do you have a daily driver right now? or is that a 2nd engine being made?

 

[02BlueGT]

I'll answer for him, that is a mock-up engine, just being used to fab the exhaust....And it looks so much more impressive in person, the pics don't do it justice

Edit:

Notice a engine part in the turbo bracket???

Yeah it is my second engine technically... I just pulled off my real engine to make room for this mockup. The new engine just needs to be assembled.

[ktraver97ss]

You wanna cut that big hole in your hood

 

[Handsome Jesus]

Well eventually I'm going to tear these apart and have them cnc bent out of stainless... but thats gonna be a while...

At which point someone can buy the old ones.

I'll have to produce another hood to go with it too.

 

[skeezer]

looks like you just visited victory auto wreckers

 

[Handsome Jesus]

yeah...

He base of those headers are off of Matt M.'s 9.01 TT Grand prix. all chopped up and mangled of course.

 

[Ron Vogel]

Doesn't matter what they looks like as long as the metal is sound. That's what I love about meteal...you can always add more with a welder, and it's brand new with just a blasting and coating.
