After working on it for 2.5 years I finally got to turn the key. Started right off the bat on the first crank. I have to zero the timing and a couple things but I'm just glad it fired off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Just thought I'd let you guys know if anyone cared.

Glad to hear man. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

What took so long? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Is it as fast as hoped for?

I still can't believe you beat directfreak to turning the key on the RE FB.

Haha, woah there.... slow down. I haven't driven it yet still have to get it to idle and set the base timing.



Why can't you believe that I got mine running before him? Hell, I started mine about a year before him, lol.

Well what are you doing on here then?Get cracking. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png You should send me a PM of the pics of the car when you get it out of the garage.I could use more FB pics to add to my vast collect of 8+ MB https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

congrats!! Looks nice.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Car looks good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png That turbo looks better tho.I wonder if the RE intake is worth putting on my T2? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

Don't think the ports would line up too well. Even the primary intake ports are big on this sucker.

I know I was looking at doing a LIM off a S5 with a FD intake but the costs are a bit much right now.Thanks for the pics.

That Snail looks HUGE!! Congrats (again)!! The IC piping looks sooo smooth. Are they aluminum? Steel? The bends look great.

That's hilarious. Somebody needs to make a flashing GIF of that!

LOL, thats funny. Had a couple friends over on sat while I was running it and dicking with the fuel. One was asking if I could tell if my intake welds were breaking loose with the laptop. lol, yeah and it also tells you how many more rivets you need to hold the floor on! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The call of the 13B-REW :(



Man you guys are lucky shites. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR



Congrats!!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Did a little more work to it last night. Put the air filter behind the pass headlight. The air temps were getting up to 115 deg F while idling in the driveway with the air filter right on the compressor housing!! I used a 45deg elbow from a local diesel repair shop and a 4.75" long piece of 4" diameter aluminum to relocate it. We'll see how that helps. Because the radiator overflow bottle was sitting where the air filter now is I had to move it to the drivers side. Made a heat shield for in between the turbo/manifold and the lower intake manifold out of 20ga stainless, got a 23x19 sheet of it for $6 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png the shield itself is 9x13"s.

Looks good. hope the temps come down.

Looks fantastic, good job man.
