Nice work.
What is your setup?

Nice progress!

Maybe I missed it but what turbo did you end up getting and have any power goals in mind? Should be a sweet build once you're done with it!

I'm probably one of the only people ever to do this, but I resisted temptation and broke in my 2.3 stroker with the t25 using the MotoMan procedure!

Depressing, I know... I do have a 20g from an old project which I planned on bolting on but plans have since changed and I am considering purchasing an fp green xl. I am looking to make a fun ~500hp weekend car. I am very open to suggestions if anybody has any!

That sounds badass, the only suggestion I would say to do is pick the smallest turbo for your goal, it will help keep the powerband broad, be responsive and most likely the most fun.

This looks like a fun project! Black AWD swapped Spyders are tits.

Thanks for the suggestion, that's one of the main reasons I chose this turbo. It'll put me right at the 500 level (on a good day). However, a nice Holset setup is looking more and more appealing every day...

My thoughts exactly!

Really think a 20G will get you to that 500 level?

You should have just bought Blageo23's black AWD spyder!! :P

Sorry I should have been more specific, I meant my plans have changed and I now want this to be a higher hp car than when I started. I was never expecting anywhere near 500 from the 20g, although like goodhart said it might be possible on a dynoguess. It would almost be a shame not to push 500hp out of the car now that it has the 2.3.

Haha, or maybe Kerry's old black AWD spyder, but where is the fun in that!

Haa the fun is in driving it and not building it. Jk, are you wanting to keep it a bolt on mitsu flange or t3 maybe?

I can't remember exactly, but maybe 6-7 years ago at LSE I made low 300's on my 50 trim bolt-on setup. Maybe 330 or so, something like 23psi. Horseshit tune on e85 with those regrind DKS 272's. So what's that maybe 375 dynojet? I'd imagine 500 on a 20g would be a bit of a challenge.
