Well this is just this winters setup, I'm planing on still doing the built 6 bolt this year still but it will have to be later in the year.... then some more upgrades and more boost! As of right now I'm going to shoot for 20psi with a good tune.

You can get way over 350awhp with that turbo if you crank the boost up (I made 460awhp at DB). I made 360awhp at 23 psi with that turbo, but a little more mods.

I dont think he is planning on cams to soon, I hope he does though.

At-Least-It's-An-Evo · 03-09-2009

Just get some cams, what's the point otherwise? I live in the area, I may even offer to help you put them in if ya want. They're pennies nowadays for some half decent ones.

He is getting bc272's now.

GsXtUrBo98 · 03-09-2009

Ya I'm prob going to order all the shit on the 18th like the timing belt ect.. and the cams!

GsXtUrBo98 · 03-27-2009

Well its been a while since I've updated you guys..

I put in the fuel filter, have 2 tire's mounted on the rims and am going to mount the other 2 at work tomorrow...

Me and Kevin ( sleepydsm ) have been tearing my engine apart and doing the timing belt and cams/arp's. I also installed my oil drain and started on the intercooler piping!

Slowly moving along and hopefully I can have this thing to map for a tune in about a week!

Hopefully pics tonight on the progress

GsXtUrBo98 · 03-29-2009

I mounted the other 2 tires today at work and me and kevin finished the timing belt, arp's, cams, ect... tonight

sleepydsm · 03-29-2009

You're welcome!

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-04-2009

Ok so I got the car together last night and got it running!! I'll get up some pics really soon and maybe a video but I suck at installing just pictures so we'll see if I can handle it....

**asshanson** · 04-08-2009

Are you getting it tuned at MAP this week if it turns out to be just a bad lifter?

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-08-2009

yes!!!! woot woot!

Or i'd be doing a 6 bolt swap because I think that I have leaky valves or something because I'm smokin a little bit on idle but when I drive it goes away....

GsXtUrBo98 · 05-29-2009

Ok!! So... I just got my car back from MAP on tuesday evening and I'm loving it!! I ended up going with a built 6 bolt swap and I upgraded my injectors so I can tune on e85! I'm in the middle of breakin at the moment with 220 miles on the motor...

Only thing is I ran into a snag with cooling.... the cooling I have isn't good enough and is going slightly over regular temp but NOT HOT because I will not let this happen.

So I ordered a new mishimoto radiator and the flex a lite fan shroud to keep things cool! will be in on tuesday and then I'm good to go for the rest of breakin!

O on a side note it only gets hot when I drive then site at idle for like 5 min or so but never when I'm driving.... not a big deal or anything but I'm not going to mess with anything and will spend whatever it takes to cool my new engine to its likings... lol

GsXtUrBo98 · 06-04-2009

Just got the FAL fans yesterday along with the mishimoto radiator! and today I ordered a MAP custom o2 housing with waste gate recirculated back into the down pipe!

only down side is its gonna take 2 to 3 weeks!!!

**Halon** · 06-04-2009

If you're only hot while at idle, then that definately sounds like a fan issue. Hopefully the new radiator and fan combo helps out. We need pics!!

GsXtUrBo98 · 06-04-2009

LOL I will try and get some pics up this weekend as I have my little sisters graduation on friday and I work 11 to close on sat.

sleepydsm · 06-05-2009

Your car looks nice chris.

GsXtUrBo98 · 06-06-2009

Thanks but like I said nothing specail and needs body work....

GsXtUrBo98 · 07-04-2009

Ok I know its been a while and still no pics " I SUCK " But I got the 02 housing from MAP last friday after having to wait for a couple weeks "3" when I was told 4 to 5 business days but o well. I installed the 02 housing on the same friday and found out that my fal fan shroud will not fit even with the MAP 02 housing!!! I'm going to put my mishimoto radiator in on monday and hope that the radiator will fix the problem with the over heating and still use the 2 10" fans, then on wed YES 2 DAYS BEFORE BIR I'm going to get it tuned at MAP! I have around 1,400 miles on the motor now and am good to go!

I need to have primo weld a 02 bung on my exhaust so I can hook up my wideband and then just the radiator, and get some E85 to tune with.

sleepydsm · 07-04-2009

You shouldn't have wasted that money on a FAL fan setup. Should have just gotten some proven cheap slim fans. The biggest ones you can get, and maybe 2. And also, you know my opinion on the other thing. You should listen to our advice for once! lol.
