Whatsup all...Ive been around on this site for years. Lurking on and off, and posting when I actually have something worthwhile to say. So you might remember my car. Made 383whp at 15psi like 5 yrs ago, and since then just kinda let the car sit in the garage and was busy with life...
So now after taking a 2+ year long break I have decided to finally "finish" the car the way I wanted it to be from the beginning.. I almost went off the deep end and bought a 3.6 VR6 and a 02M with plans of turboing that, but I dont want to go into debt when I am looking to buy a house in the near future...so the 2.9 VR will have to do for now.
Here's where the build stands at now, and then a list of the new parts going into the car. I plan to slowly build it up as parts come in and when I have spare time (which isnt very often, I go to school and work M-F so I don't have alot of free time.)
The goods:
Currently already have installed: made 383whp at 15psi
Built bottom end: pauter rods, JE 2.9 pistons
Head: p&p BVH with +1 intake and +1 exh valves.
semi-ghetto tubular exhaust manifold- came with car, but willing to let it ride for now
T70 turbo with .69 turbine (its for sale $650)
Schimmel SRI
DTA E48EXP standalone
Tial 38m wg and Tial BOV
upgraded motor mounts
quaife LSD
full 3inch exhaust
inline pump of some sort, will get replaced with surge tank/proper fueling setup
550cc siemens injectors (also for sale)
stage 5 CM clutch (also might be for sale)
Ok and heres whats going into the car soon....
Dubsquared 288 cams
TT high lift valve springs
possibly TT Ti retainers-waiting on head tear down to decide
crank scraper
ID1000 injectors
manifold, downpipe,wastegate dump, turbine housing ceramic coated in 2000 deg black
huge radiator and fans- might not use them
meziere water pump for a/w setup
schimmel a/w reservior tank
custom ginormous heat exchanger
Precision pt1001 a/w intercooler, good for 1000HP
all plumbed with -12 lines
all 3 inch boost tubing
might make a whole 4" downpipe and 4" exhaust out of aluminum
probably a lightweight battery, or move battery to trunk
-also possibly might buy a FX600 clutchmasters clutch, unless I find something else i want
-and in the works- developing a windage tray and possibly baffled oil pan. waiting to hear from the guy Im working with it on
...and once my turbo sells, I plan on getting a PT67/65 billet journal bearing and going for 500+ on pump, and we'll see what it can do on some race gas. Revving out to 8k RPM
Heres some pics for now. Ill post more when I get parts in, or make some progress.
