RX2MUR

Here are some pics of my 86 GXL. When my RX2 is ready for this motor, I will put it back in, (rearend and brake wise) Next week I am doing my fuel and downpipe. This is a Holset turbo.

The A/R on the turbo is 1.02. I also used Judge Ito's template and brand new seals and rebuild obviously. Like I say, the GXL can be the test mule while I build the RX2 to handle the power, I can swap the motor and tranny in about 2.5 hours changing the pickup, front cover and pan and such, so maybe that is what I will do when it comes to going to the races. Hope you guys like it, I have about a years work into it, and within the next couple of months or less, it will be finished. --Shawn

My own design. It consists of a racing beat flange, 2 in diameter, about 18 inch long 304 stainless pipes totally divided, with a homemade turbo flange, 3/4 inch thick. The wastegate piping is 1.5 inch. Thanks for all of the comments guys. For the RX2, the look I am going to go for is a back halved, lowered alcohol burning chevy. The last summit catalog with the impala is a good example. I was going to keep the RX2 looking stock, but that is what the GXL is for, the RX2 is just badass. It is gutted except for the dash, I have to finish the cage, has buckets and an air to water intercooler will sit behind the passenger seat. Stay tuned, it's because of a lot of you guys that I sink all this money into my cars. Thanks for looking, Shawn
