Fuel pump bracket showed up today, this thing looks so nice I almost dont want to put it on, I got my Magnus V5 with dual rails ordered so that should be here within a few weeks.

Very nice! Still going to run E85 or 98? Get this thing done for this season! Did you line somebody up for your manifold fabrication?

e98 or maybe Meth since this wont be on the street much if at all anymore, but I already bought the ETS 6" intercooler so I'm not sure on that yet

What's nice about the 6-inch intercooler is that air restriction is very low. Even if you ran methanol I would stay with the intercooler. The car is going to be very fast!

Yeah its still a 2.5 inlet/outlet though too, I didn't even think about it when I ordered it but it may not be that much of a restriction anyways.

Me too haha, its taking a little bit of time but once the manifold gets done i'll be able to start knocking it out because all the big money things should be done then. **knock on wood**

Don't leave it at 2.5, I can help modify it . I recommend a 3.5"upper and 3" lower. I like the vanjen hd clamps too! Would you get a 90mm tb for the v5 manifold? Ktuned is a good cost effective tb ( I don't recommend many others).

Tax season helps?

The fuel pump bracket sure looks like a nice piece. What did you end up doing for the exhaust manifold, front facing?

Yeah I'll probably go that route!

Haven't gotten it made yet, the one in the pics is my old one. But yeah it'll be front facing too!

Well, i'm an idiot. It's already 3" in and out, I'm probably still going to do vanjen's instead of normal couplers. And probably still change the outlet to a 3.5

Made some baby steps, my dual rail v5 Manifold showed up a week or so ago, and I was finally able to source a Ktuned 90mm throttle body (everywhere I tried to get one was backordered) These are the final piece's I needed before I can get my turbo kit started. That's still probably 3 weeks or so out from being dropped off but the progress is starting to show now.

Also got my fuel pump bracket installed, I still need to order the pump/fittings though

Well, a small update, finally got the hood on and got it pushed out into the driveway for a couple pictures before it was dropped off to have the turbo kit made.

I have the parts for the fuel system ordered (minus another set of injectors yet)

Still need to get the rear end installed which shouldn't be too hard, Get a wiring harness so I can start working on that. Order an AEM Dash, and decide on what suspension I want to run and order it.

The goal is to have it running by May if the turbo kit doesnt take too long.

I'd also like to get the front either painted or wrapped to match the bumper the raw aluminum looks like shit IMO. Here's how it sat before we dropped it off (in desperate need of a wash)

Haha thinking about what it'll hopefully do this summer is giving me a chub, I wish I had an aluminum rod 2.0 and a dog box and i'd really be excited!

Thing looks like a beast! Hopefully see it at the track making the passes you hope it makes!

I know the 2.3 will hold me back a little bit, But all I want is an 8 this year

Proving Grounds is going to need to work on their prep with all the cars that are going to be coming out swinging

I wouldn't worry about the 2.3 holding you back. I ran my first eight second passes on a 2.3 stroker. If anything it'll help you get used to a lot larger Turbo, due to the extra displacement.
