AWD Spyder Project Thread

This summer was the first time I drove the car in about 2.5 years. It felt amazing. It made 567hp and 490tq at DB (corrected). It was super fun to drive for the month I drove it. One night after a rice killer meet we were getting on the freeway, I hit it and it started sputtering and finally stopped making power. FILLED the freeway with smoke, limped it to the next exit and to our destination and found it dripping oil near the turbo. Long story short the shaft snapped. Here is what the car looked like when I was driving it and what happened to the turbo..

Harness bar. Safe? Maybe only slightly





(I told the DMV I lost my plate thats why there is a yellow sticker. Only did that so I could run with no plates and I Powder coated my old ones black to blend in with the car.)









Now the plans for this year:
To get the thing back on the road I needed a new turbo







I went with another FP turbo. I didnt want to change my whole setup so I went with this beast. Its an FP DSM88HTA. Should make more power then the FP3575 (not that that was my limiting factor)

My limiting factor last year was the fuel. The single DW300 was not enough for the amount of power I was making. The fix..





Right now there is two walbro 255s. Im going to replace them with dual DW300 pumps.

I will update more as more parts arrive and the work gets done.

Looking good. Hope to see this beast at some of the meets. You plan on pushing that new turbo to the limit?

I think that now the limiting factor will be the bottom end. So Ill see what happens when I get it back on the dyno

Well I went to the DMV saying I lost my plate. They had to remake them so it took awhile and they gave me a 30 day permit. So it was like that until the permit expired then I put the regular ones back on. I may do that again only costs like $14

Re: AWD Spyder Project Thread

You have to get that thing over the power mark that mine was at!! Should be fun thats for sure. How was it for daily driving and what clutch are you running?

Re: AWD Spyder Project Thread

Daily driving wasn't fun. I had a crappy "race battery " that died constantly. Had to carry a jump pack. Upgraded to a yellow top I think. Also it needs some kind of idle control for better drivability.
Clutch is a quartermaster twin disc

Re: AWD Spyder Project Thread

you on AEM? Is there a way to get it to idle better? I kept the iacv and coolant running through a 1g NT TB on mine and started, idled, and drove like stock pretty much. I could do a full pull and push in the clutch and it would sit right at 900 rpm without struggling.

Re: AWD Spyder Project Thread

It idled just fine. Every once in a whole it would be a tad low or die when driving in traffic. Also had an issue with the wp/ps belt flying off.

Re: AWD Spyder Project Thread

I've been slowly getting parts and everything is coming together. I was going to install everything but I still need a few parts before that happens. Hopefully this week Ill get some time to put the turbo back in and drive it around.

Picked up a second DW300 for a steal. $75 shipped


Turbo powder coated and ceramic coated





Oil return and coolant lines

It's only slightly bigger then what I had. And it was super fun to drive around. So no. Not a dyno queen.
