Looks hot as hell. What kind of power you think? Those cars look so flimsy to me, but it can't be anything but a blast to drive I'm sure. Hot mani!

Thanks guys, the MS is great had it in my FX16 for like 2 years and just swapped it over.
I have to tune it a bit more since the GTS has a higher comp than my other motor.
So I'm gonna try to go for 250hp to see if it can hold it and then wen it pops the built GZE
from the FX16 goes in
And ya it's a real blast especially in the rain
Heres the FX currently being stripped of the rest of the goodies and going to the crusher

What coilpacks on the fx16? I want some.

Nice build, i cant believe you got a ramhorn, a holset and a 3"dp in that tiny area Nice work

I would post my corolla, but it's not boosted... yet...

I can't believe your going for 250whp on a stock bluetop, Impressive.

Nice manifold. Did you have any clearance issues with anything?

Those looks like Chrysler coilpacks, Joel. And post pics anyway.

Just curious why you said the fx's bluetop has lower compression than your gts,

All TVIS 4age's have had the same compression ratio since they were introduced and ended production.. 9.4:1

Ya on the FX I used the neon coils for a bit, but I switched back to the
Ford one. And the FX doesnt have a bluetop it's a GZE, 8.0 - 1 pistons,
ported head, basically a mild build.
And hopefully the bluetop holds for a bit since I just swapped the headgasket
a week ago before the turbo.
PS That downpipe was a damn pain in the *** took me all damn day to fit it in
nice and tight by myself, think I took it off and put it on like 50 times, but it
was worth it since everything hugs the block.
