Build UPDATED !!X3!! w/PICS Where my builds at, for those curious NO 56K!
 
Well i thought i would snap some pictures and show everyone where my build is as of rite now. Il kind of go through the timeline with the pictures and elaborate. Everyone knows whats in my build and what i have and what im going for so no need to explain it.

A few things to buy with tax return
*Piping kit
*Battery
*new battery cables and posts for relocate
*MFactory LSD
*Dyno and tune time
*Wheels & Tires

What i have left to do :
*Fill fluids
*Install Fuel Pump
*Install boost controller
*Install turbo timer
*REPO ECU from friends crx
*Figure out radiator fitment
*Fit front end
*Fab intercooler piping and weld
*Mount intercooler

I think that is pretty much it. Enjoy the pictures noggleheads.

Going from OLD to NEW

Well the original color of the car was write according to the door jams lol. The girl who had it before me payed her boyfriend's dad to do a cheap paint job on it. He literally spraid one coat on it, no prep no anything. SO now it is chipping everywhere.

So i will be doing a paintjob but i think im going to go championchip white or something. I do like the flat black though like the front end pic.

Hes painted show cars his entire life and does a ton of body work. Hes an old retired guy, and il just have him repaint everything and make it pretty. He has a paint both in his garage so it should be pretty legit.

Unlike yourself, it is functional. It will tuck 26" slicks.
I actually just got done mounting the radiator. It's ghetto, it was a bitch, because its dual core. When i get back from getting food i will snap some pictures of it rite quick.

Yea, the main idea for the car is track and street. I already had a busted up front passenger fender and bumper, so i figured id just get that front end.

That is a clean DP setup, but what about if the motor rocks enough to rub a hole in the thin plating of the rad? Also about tubby's comment on the AEM FPR, I think he is going to blup out the point that the OEM init is good enough with the size of injectors your running. No need to turn the pressure up. SOLID build. ------- solid. Cant wait to see it on a dyno and the power output

There is actually a good 2 inches between the rad and DP now, i tweaked it a little more. The mounts are hasport extreme race so i don't think its goign to move too much son. And with the fpr, mikey@LSD hooked me up with the fpr and rail combo for real cheap. It will all buff out. Pretty much the vast majority of my parts are from him. Customer service and prices are outstanding not to mention hes a HMT supporter and a pretty cool dude.

I'd really recommend a second catchcan. IIRC you want 600 whp, right?

I still need a good one, who you recommend JD for the 550whp goal of mine.

No, turbo won't support 600whp (gt3076r)
Around 450-500 and i will be happy. I am planning on getting or making a second catch can and putting two fittings on the front of the valve cover.

You should just make your own, i didn't have to time or the welder to do mine, but it really isn't quite hard at all. You would be stupid to spend so much money for a T1 catch tank. Check out B&R Fittings though, sometimes they have descent deals.
