My new setup for spring.
 

So Im just about done with my swap that I got a couple weeks ago. Here is what Im gonnna be running for the summer.

supertech valve springs
supertech valves 1mm oversize, inconel exhaust valves

GT4088R turbo
Custom top mount divided T4 manifold

I got the setup from Ron at RS motors and I will be trying it out for alittle bit and then maybe switching it up a little bit. The only thing left I need to complete my car is getting a new oil cooler since I cannot use my old one after I spun a rod bearing. I only have a few pics that I took with my cell phone. I will be taking some better pics in the next few days. Plans till spring will be running 92oct till I get it tuned on e85 with the full blown dual pumper.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Looking really good dude, damn keep up the good work.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I wanna see more pics!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I will be taking more pics when I get my oil cooler. Should be within the next couple days.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

<---- Jealous!

Looks like a very nice setup, good luck with the tune and can't wait to see what kind of power she puts down.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Thanks man, Im hoping for around 600 on e85 in the spring and aound 500 on pump. Ron had this setup in his car and made 527 at 24psi on pump with the magnus cast v5 manifold an I just have my unported stock manifold. I will keep the updates coming.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Looks nice man! it should be a fun car for sure!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

HOly shit batman.
Should be fun.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Ya it should be, Im just waiting on a oil cooler or im gonna eliminate it for the time being till I can find one.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Nice package, just swap it all over from his car and go!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Everything is already done, I just need to bolt up a new oil cooler and put it on the dyno. Paul and I spent all day thursday and friday swapping everthing over. The only thing I didnt get was the magnus v5 cast manifold.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I'm jealous!! Hopefully I'll get my money and attempt to keep up, lol!!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

How can you be jealous, your car is gonna be hot. Let me know if you need any help, lizzy and rachel can sit and watch us work on your car or go find something to do.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

damn mike! that stuff is lookin gooooood! keep it up! you plannin to run at the tracks this year also?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Ya I want to take it to the track, the only thing that might cause me trouble is my act hdss clutch, I dont know how much that will handle. I hope I can afford a exedy twin disc soon and also a shep tranny/t-case.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I thought he had a 4094?

Hmm...... I guess fast evos won't be rare anymore around here. Seems like everyone has realized the key to making lotsa power is to go big! :) I like it.


What you got for a clutch, trans, transfer case?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I have a act hdss clutch,stock flywheel,stock tranny, stock t case. Those are next to be upgraded. I want a twin disc, and hav my tcase and tranny shipped out to shep.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

^oh.

This is gonna get good.

Cher, you're crazy. Big turbo's aren't always needed. Well maybe they just aren't really used.

Good luck Mike unplug that bitch and let her buck come spring time.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Well we will see what a fullblown dual pump setup and some 1600's can do come springtime if I get a new ignition system.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

And then you launch on the street and blow up your drivetrain :) That's the only way I'll beat you!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I wont launch my car till I know I have the funds to send the tcase and trans in to shep. I will just wait and see how big my tax refund is

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Sweet, i cant wait to go for a ride!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Well an evo is still a must have in my book for someday but I am way too hooked on my car to start putting my money into another car right now....

As soon as I get the money wich should be anytime now I'm going to be putting that engine in and pulling the 7 bolt!! But when I do it Im going to do it right the first time and get the lower end built atleast. At the same time I'm planning on going to a bigger turbo then after that all I will have to worry about is the same as you "TRANNY, TRANSFERCASE"

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Ya I really hope I can at least make a couple passes at the track in the spring. I know this setup in the fall with ron driving ran a 11.4@124 with a 2.1 60 foot. That pass, the throwout bearing came apart. This was on pump gas too, I want to run my full blown dual pumper with e-85, but that still all depends on my driving and if my tranny and tcase can hold the power.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

That looks like a pretty badass setup! Who is gonna be tuning it for you?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Ron at RS is going to be tuning it. He already made 527 on this setup on pump at 28psi with the magnus cast intake manifold. Im gonna run the stock intake manifold for now. But in the spring im gonna be running e85 with the dual pumper. So I guess I will see what the stock ignition can do and then upgrade once thats maxed.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

That thing should move!

Ever think about getting your full blown setup anodized? I wouldn't be too worried but if you plan on running e85 for a while it'd be something to think about.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

shits gonna be sick cant wait to see some vid

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I will try and get some video of the car on the dyno next week, as for now I have the car at home and I took a few pics of it today with a real camera. Here they are.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Nice. And you know you can use the oil cooler, you just need to flush it out really well.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I was curious as to why it couldn't be reused also...

Setup looks great though!@!!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I also am inclined to believe that the oil cooler lines are fed after the filter, but I could definately be wrong on that. Can someone help out here?

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

Oil cooler is after the filter, but the filter has a bypass on it for when the oil is thick, like cold starts, or when the filter gets clogged.

I would not re-use the cooler. Have you ever cleaned an oil pan with bearing material in it? Even when you can touch it, it can be though to get everything out. If you think you going to get everything out by "flushing it out real good" dream on. Once 10 GPM of oil is pumping through that thing, any little spec you didn't get will work it's way out and into your motor.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

then I'd better clean my own cooler really really good.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

That thing looks pretty wicked!

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I didnt reuse my cooler, I got a new one. My car is running off wastegate pressure and still rips pretty hard, I will be going back to rs when its not so cold out to get some numbers.

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

sick man cant wait to see the numbers

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

I cant either, I got on it a little tonight and wow. for only 12psi it pulled hard. Cant wait to see how it pulls at 24psi

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

yea. should be a sick ride

Re: My new setup for spring.
 

man, i kinda want an evo again...ugh
