Kyle's AWD Spyder Project - Big Money

[C3L1CA]

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!

Dropped the new engine in:


Mounted the AWD driveshaft:


After wiring up the 6 bolt CAS and connecting the various sensors, belts, exhaust, etc. it was FINALLY time to fire up the beast!!!! It started right up and idled smoothly on the first twist of the key. So I started the break in process with a spirited drive to the gas station:


I have since put about 50 miles on the car and have not come across a single issue. I did a compression test and came up with ~175-178psi in each cylinder so I think it's time to toss more money at it (so I can go pick on some corvettes).

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!
