The end is near...

Of working on my car! BooYA!!!

Many thanks to the Fobia turbo kit setup action.









Proof I have a car!!!

 

wow, still being built?
I remember when you came over, and told me about this project

 

Nice i saw some cell pics but these are much easier to see... its looking good!

 

Yeah... ask the original builder of the car about that :roll:

 

whoa...i want a turbo on my gc8! you lucky ass. Where the rest of the pix?

 

looks like a good project

 

Looking good Kelly

 

Here's one.


Here's two.


And here is my album of car pics.

happy?

 

i still remember racing the turbo rs through the duluth tunnels..... that seems so long ago... good to see u have progress now!

nice, always heard about it, never saw it. glad to see someone else went the SOHC route. awesome build man

 

awesome build! i'm hoping to go turbo some day...

 

Kelly is alive!!!!

still have that electronic rust protection? you know i think that is -5whp.

 

holly balls thats going to hall some a$$! nice man

 

Wow, that is some work. I would love to see that thing run. Awesome build man.

 

Actually, I'm curious to see what you're using for EM?

 

Oh, forgot about that... it's a hydra

 

We will probably pull that off sooner or later. Right now I'm leaving it in there for a good laugh. I should unplug it and mount it to my dash or something funny :laugh:

 

Why a maf?

 

Get some glasses.

 

wow you must be getting out of subarus? you dont even know what a intake air sensor is?

 

You're gonna need a bigger kaneuhter valve.

 

You're a kaneuhter valve. How do you like that?

 

so u're the one
i hated coating that huge one peice header -_-
where the ppg go?

 

Just tell us when to connect the Jumpers................It's alive!

 

No ppg's. Just RA box from garage tuning, which was totally bust. So now it's a jdm 6-speed from jdmspecc4u from sovietkanukistan. They rock by the way

 

My guess is its going to be lag city with that ultra mega long up pipe. otherwise SWEET!

 

It probably shouldn't be that bad with that small turbine section (.63) and a 2.5L. Mine's on boil at 4k with .86 and 2.24L.

I've got two kaneuhter vavles due to my extreme performance. Booooya

 

Yeah, but he has the long ass up pipe from stock header type setup

 

Ahh, so no turbo manifold?

 

indeed

 

Guess not.

Glad to see if FINALLY coming together.

 

going with the SOHC heads really leaves you with next to no turbo header options

 

I'm pretty sure turbo headers will bolt up to the sohc. It's that there isn't a turbo crossmember in the car. I think you guys will be surprised when you see how short everything really is. It's as if you turned a turbo manifold backwards and shot the uppipe straight up. I'll try to get pics sometime today.

 

you are correct sir, they will bolt right up no problem

 

so what are the projected whp numbers of this project

 

This is just a crazy guess.

pump- mid 300's

race- low low 400... maybe. Like stars align style. :laugh:

 

is it tuned yet? if not when u going to get tune and dyno? i really wanna know the numbers on this too

 

there is a slight issue with the thermostat and rad hose routing but it can be worked around to make the wrx/sti headers work.

cant wait to see it on the road. your car will finally be faster than mine again.

 

Nice... But I'll never take any pics of it

 

Hey! You have cool side car shots while cruising through skyline. No one else has those!!! :biggrin:

 

ummmmm......... got this p.o.s car running about a hour ago. other then a egt bung that needs to be re-taped and some other little things the car looks good. once kelly figures out what he wants to do for back brakes, the car should be on the road. yes, people will see this car soon!

 

Just go something easy and get the damn thing on the road alraeady!!!

 

hurry up and get er done. i wont believe it till i see it.

must bask in the glory while my car is still faster than Kelly's!
