My new setup for spring.

[mike55112]

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.

Engine
2.3L
Eagle crank
Manley rods
Wiseco pstons
ACL Race bearings
ARP 11mm head studs
ARP Main studs
Kelford 280 cams
supertech valve springs
supertech valves 1mm oversize, inconel exhaust valves
cometic headgasket
Precison 1000cc injectors
AEM EMS with air intake sensor and 3.5 bar map sensor
GT4088R turbo
Custom top mount divided T4 manifold
RNR fmic core
Custom lower intercooler pipe
Buschur upper intercooler pipe
Tial 44mm vband wastegate
Tial BOV
JMF spark plug cover


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.

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

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.

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.

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"

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.

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.

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

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?

[turbotalon1g]

^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.
