[sasquatch]

today i got my t-bolt clamps, some paint, and booked the dyno for the 10th, im going right from the dyno to the track lol... if everything goes as planned, im gonna be putting the turbo in over the weekend

[Aaronbrook37]

Nice work dude! I'm excited to see the dyno results - both because it's coming soon, but that's also the date on which I finally get Internet hooked up at home. That means I can watch the video! Stupid work firewalls that block 99% of proxies. So stoked to see your pulls and numbers, man.

[sasquatch]

ya i cant wait to see what it makes... im hoping for something between 180 and 220... im just gonna be running low boost for a while... then when i know its running good, start making some real power

oo ya, and im gonna see if i can borrow my friends camera, so it will be in 1080P HD

[timmay89]

Let me know the exact date, I might be able to do some filming for you!

[sasquatch]

ok so its not gonna be done for an extra week or so... my friend (the one doing all the welding and letting me use the shop) is "busy" working on his own car

[timmay89]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I guess in one way I will be back next week, so I CAN live my turbo dreams through your car! Lol

[sasquatch]

ok so my friends car got done today and we started on mine today, but i left my camera at the shop

my friends car dynoed at just under 1000hp at the wheels with no nitrous and a they are gonna up the boost a bit when the motor is broken in a bit more lol...

my car got torn apart a bit today and will finish getting torn apart tomorrow and then the turbo will start to go in... after getting the manifold on the motor and the turbo sticking off the end, there insnt much room to work lol...

[sasquatch]

UPDATE!!!

i got the car to the shop... some how i have to get all of this stuff in the engine bay or hooked up to the motor some how lol...



got the manifold all welded up...



and made sure it fit the motor...



the pulled the motor out to replace the clutch, flywheel, water pump and the timing belt... also cleaned the engine bay a bit... im thinking about painting the bottom half of it black...



and tonight im gonna clean up the intake manifold cause it got all messed up when the holes i cut in my hood drained all the rain water right on top of it lol...


thats all for now... i should have another update soon...

stay tuned...

[sasquatch]

Is that a Vibrant muffler?

ya, go to page 1 for a pic of it... its just like a cherrybomb but better built, less restrictive and better looking IMO...

[timmay89]

Looks great! Is there a night this week I can come over and help?

[rakfint]

You two - Scotts place, tonight!

[sasquatch]

dangit... why did i have to read this at 9:30 at night (edit, stupid ff.com clock is out again lol...)

well im gonna be working on it from 9-6 tomorrow... if you want to come by and see it for a while thats fine... but depending on how busy the shop is i may have to "work" and not work on my car and then i cant be standing around talking lol...
