How'd it sound as I left tonight? Kinda broke up a bit...

car sounded awesome when u left lastnight... but like u said it did break up .... shouldnt be getting on it at all till it gets tuned.. any chance of putting a th400 in it or u leaving it stick so u can cruise it easier?

 

[Eagle]

You're right... and I know it. But AFR was 12 and I only hit 5psi for a VERY brief second.

The T56 stays until it gives me a good reason to take it out.

BRB starting tubo build on TBSS. Have the truck manifolds already! Need a few parts beside that though.

If you dont mind me asking eagle, whats the running total on this project so far? Im feeling inspired, but broke lol

 

[Eagle]

I stopped counting at ~12k... since Feb

 

[EmersonHart13]

That was probably a good call.

 

[Eagle]

for quite a few reasons, yes

THIS is why I will never turbo my car. Even, if I find a good deal on a kit (like you did) I will still be spending crazy money.

What kinda 1/4 mile times do you expect from this?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Yikes, a little more than I thought, but still not THAT much. I'm assuming that $$ is including your new wheels/tires, heads, and rear end work too?

Ive been thinking about what to do with my junk box for the long term recently. Probably going to start off on a similar path as you. Forged bottom end and spray, then step up to FI eventually. Just looking for solid 10s all day long with a full interior.

his kit is substantially more intense than a 3800 kit would be for you...

Yes, thats including everything. Dont forget the fuel system. That one snuck up on me and hurt the wallet pretty bad.

yea really....next question; how much did your kit cost

 

[Eagle]

KJ's turbo build was epic the inspiration for my build

Cuz I did everything possible on the CHEAP

IIRC correctly he got this kit for $3500? I remember the post on chitown. I don't care what kind car this is. $9000+ for additional parts is ALOT of money. These additional costs is what de-tices me from doing a build like that.

For just a comparison you can buy a Speed INC 650HP Twin turbo kit out the door installed for $14k.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

damn panda you were almost pulling a tire in that launch!

 

[Eagle]

650HP is peanuts PANDA

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

650HP is peanuts PANDA

i expect much more from you

 

[Eagle]

as do I, sir. as do i.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

damn every time you post it makes my pants feel funny seeing your sig pic....

 

[Eagle]

you like that, dont you Joel :naughty:

 

[Yaj Yak]

mmmm. prolly everything said and done. under 3k.

eagle has an insane fuel system in this thing, absolutely nuts, crazy cool boost controller.. .badass vacuum lines... i dont want to say my car is done ghetto cuz its not, but his car is just built suuuuuper well.

id also be willing to bet that 12k number includes wheels/tires/suspension and brakes maybe hopefully?

you could do it to your car for prolly what you could sell your mods for.
