Slowly But Surely (new pics on Pg #2)
MORE PICS BELOW
Well I have a few people asking about my DOHC ZC Build so I fiqured I'd Make a report on it.
The Collection Has Started:
SRP 75.5Bore, 4.3CC Dome Pistons will give me about 9.15:1CR
My Turbo: .60.63 Freshly rebuilt by Garret, I just need to source the Turbine Housing, but I already had it. Got this for 155.00. Audi Wastegate I modded to be adjustable.
Eagle Rods. No bad for 250 Shipped. Was going to go with TTs, but couldn't pass these up.
The Dirty old block that already had ARP Studs.
The Head. The CAMS are out to get reground at Delta with www.thezcr.com Group Buy. It's also going to use JG Cam Gears when julio_boostmante gets my MO.
TullosTech Electronic Boost Controller.
I also have small parts like Adj. FPR and such.
Now before these next pics, I know everyone will see this as pointless and ricey, but I don't give a ----!!! I've always wanted one, got the chance and now I doing it!
Let the Stripping Begin
The whole car, braced, and stripped, goignt to a Dark Grey Metalic colour in the end. Kinda a mess now. We have people storing crap in our shop, and I've been busy building traction bars.
Here the clincher that I know most people will flame about, agian save it, I don't need your opinions on this one!
RHD Firewall I got from my cli. I have everything I need to do this.
So ya my car is going to be a RHD. Trust me, in my area, I'll be the only one. I have the knowledge and have friend/family members teh are autobody mechanics, so in no way am I doing this blind.

Re: Got My Work Cut Out For Me. My Build w/pics.
Deff. will keep it updated.
Goals are about 320+whp at 18psi. Some people say at if I need 18psi that I need a bigger turbo. Well if I make 320 @ 18psi I'm happy, if more Bonus!!! If less, Got to do something different. Gonna want to be about to max the tullostech boost controller out at 22.5psi when I want to too!
The car is also getting a Full Cage, if I ever find a tibe bender.
The RHD Conversion will be some work, but so far with dismantelling it has been nearly as hard as I thought. Just Very time consuming!!! Lots of welds to drill out. Hopefully I'll be ready to drop the new firewall in this week. Working 40+hours and doing Traction Bars at night cuts into the "Me Time". Especailly when you working on the Fiances car on weekends!
