Well its almost done, it runs and drives. Need 1000 miles of break in for the motor, and other parts before I can tune it for some power. Its been 10 months since I last drove the car, almost 11 in fact. In that time, ive done some serious modifications which you can see and some which you cant. Here is the list of what I did



new dowel pinned, large streetported motor with all new internals, upgraded seals, and built for power.



twin t04e ball bearing turbos, with custom machined t3 hotsides with a huge 38mm internal wastegate per turbo.



custom twin manifold with fully equal length runners, temp coated to 2200 degrees



Custom stainless turbo to intercooler y-pipe



Custom true dual exhaust running (1) 2.5" exhaust per turbo, wastegates also plumbed back into the piping,. no cats into a dual inlet, dual oulet magnaflow muffler and out to two black stock looking tips



Twin in tank walbro fuel pumps running one -6 fuel line per pump to individual rails now running 850cc primary and 1680cc injectors, then route into an aeromotive Fuel Pressure regulator and back to (2) -6 return lines



Spec stage V clutch with upgraded clutch lines, and pressure resurfaced the flywheel



New 50/50 rear differential



Now for the pictures (Sorry if they are fuzzy, camera has had it)

Well I wasnt intiially trying to do that, its just the true duals only had room on that side of the car, and with the dual inlet/dual outlet muffler it made my decision for me

Looks good-



It looks like the oil feed line to the bottom turbo may kink up near the top of the loop- Is it rubber or plastic inside?

very nicely done. kinda personally would have to get used to the console being so plain now, but it looks good.(not like its my car either)



talk to me about the headlights, though. how is the illumination, how hard was it to get them to fit, is there any cutting involved other than the bumber?
