did you send him money already?

longest. build. ever. lol.

I hope it lasts longer than either of mine did. You'll love 3rd gear.

Nope, screw it. I found another one. Thanks for trying to help out, though.



Dude, you're telling me. I literally see the car for 5 days a year, though. So the hours into it isn't so bad, it's the amount of time they are stretched out over.

Cool looking build!
I'll have to keep my eye on this.

Intercooler piping is just about done.
Wiring is all cleaned up and tucked away nicely.
The front powerlog is on with the crossover sitting there ready for the rear powerlog that should be here next week along with some silicone couplers to finish up the piping.

I guess it's progress.

I think I'm gonna order some projectors for it, too. Any of you guys have a preference? I really don't want them to have any amber in them, but I don't know anything about them.

those are the ones that you would want. theyre the same that i had on my gt. they dont have the chrome corners, its all black and itll look real good. Also, glad to see you making some decent progress!

Done yet?


^^^ HX-50 ^^^

It's in!

but does it run?

It's gonna be a dog when out of boost. Big turbo, small runner length...

Jeeeeeez these downpipes are such a tight fit, eh? With my engine/trans spacers and shortened dog bones with the 3" pipe, it rubbed on the master cylinder and wore a large groove in it.

Also, it boiled over my brake fluid once.... that's with exhaust wrap and blanket.

wow man! that is a very big turbo. Once it hits boost youre gonna put an indent in your driver seat! haha

Nice custom build. Looking forward to seeing a video of it running.

Just updating this thread so I can have all my info in here.

Vacuum Setup


PCV Setup


And one teaser. She was supposed to be on the road this weekend, but the exhaust guy is all backed up to make the downpipe. Hopefully soon... *sigh*

Damn dude about time lol. I want to see your timing tables for that beast on spool up haha.

I melted 2 rear valve covers after dp coating and wrap.

still off of school?
