So we are back to 13T's (WRX Turbo's) 2 turbos have been located (well 4, picking the best deal of the 2) and already machined housings, so the car is now back to "stock appearing".

Hard to find the 4 bolt forged stuff in the junkyards. Picked up a shortblock locally that was a garage paperweight and a crank that was serving the same function in Tennessee.

Rods arrived last week, need to measure block to order pistons. Then its an small overbore and some parts away (bearings/new rod bolts/seals/gaskets) from a functioning shortblock.

Plan on pulling the motor after the proving grounds, should have everything else here or damn near here by then (turbo's included). Hopefully have it up and going for early August action.


Motor should be good for 700+AWHP as is similar build to my previous motor I had in the blue stealth (short-block wise) while the turbo's....we'll try to squeeze 500 out of them, its been done before on E-85 and piggybacks with 21psi of boost.

I like it, call it the "I wanted to race this year, but instead get to race 1 time before winter" event.
