She's back... finally.
 

Well today I finally got the del Sol back on the road after I totally fried my clutch and tranny. Picked up a new tranny from Whitey and the clutch came from Gripforce.com for pretty cheap.

Anyways, I don't think I've ever shown the soldier to you guys so here it goes.

Close up of the little IHI.

Notice the spray-can style valve cover. Typical underhood rice.

I know its dark but there is a Tyrus in there.

Autometer Z-Series gauges. Love how it looks OEM.

Custom 50/50 Tails. Looks clean, not ricey.

Look at that sexy beast right after the wash job.

Mods are:
IHI RHB5 Turbo @ 6-7psi
HF mani w/ 2.5 down pipe
Tyrus FMIC w/ 2.5 charge piping
Apex Twin Chamber BOV
Vortech FMU
Synapse Missing Link
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Stealthmode Oil Lines/Oil Line restrictor
Turbonetics MBC
Autometer Z-Series Gauges
Gripforce Stage 1 Sprung Clutch

The stock exhaust and huge ass charge pipes gives me quite a bit of lag but for now that just acts as good traction control.

I have a ------- beautiful Rank1racing.com (Shitbird) "ramhorn" manifold lying around that I'm putting in next week once the new IHI arrives. Man his welds are so perfect, its hard to believe a human made that thing. I'll have install pics of that.

Once I start my new job I need to get some injectors and get rid of that shitty FMU, but hey, for now its more than functional.

nice looking setup :-*
can you explain to me what boost controller setup that is?

Re:She's back... finally.
 

thats a nice sleepr. spraypaint the inter cooler black.

Re:She's back... finally.
 

It just bridges the line in between the turbo and the wastegate actuator - nothing special. But the MBC came with a bracket so I just mounted it nicely so its easy to access.

Nice, very clean HMT setup. So that Tranny's working out alright for you?

Re:She's back... finally.
 

O, what I meant was where did you get the MBC, it looks HMT style scavenged.

Re:She's back... finally.
 

nice sexy and black 8)

Re:She's back... finally.
 

Yeah man works great, can't thank you enough for getting it to me as promptly as you did. The clutch isn't anything special, basically a stock replacement but its capable of handling the extra torque from the turb.

Here's a closeup of the MBC for you Stan. I forget who I bought it from but it was from someone on HMT.
