Yet another HMT project on the road

Re: Yet another HMT project on the road
Yes that is a Neon rad and as you can see they don't have a cap on the rad so I had to go with a Moroso inline.The hose is a little funky looking but it works so I'll just leave it alone.The body is in bad condition in a few places there is a massive dent in the rear corner causing the hatch to leak,the hood is wrinkled along with the other side that is half bondo.I may try to blend some red in but either way I don't really care how it looks, only how it does on the track.My welding skilles def have a long way to go as well but this was my first project with the welder I just bought so it felt pretty nice to make my own exhaust,chargepipes etc.Thanks for the positive feedback I made a real effort to keep it homemade but not ghetto!

Im a canuck so prices CDN [cdn $ = .75 US]
turbo setup $600 [manifold.T25,intercooler, etc]
fuel+ecu $300 [injectors,pump,burner etc]
odds and ends $250 paint,oil ines,silicone[go to your local ind. hose supllier] mandrel bends for charge piping etc
exhaust was $93
I bought a welder as well do to this project but i don't count that as it was a excuse to finally buy one and it was $369 shipped for a 115V dual gas/flux
I'm hoping for 165-175 wheel hp at 10psi.That is on a Mustang dyno as there are no dynojets within 500miles of me everybody has Mustangs.Goal is to hit some mid 13's this year before pulling the motor in winter for bottom end upgrade.The car weighs at best 2000lbs without me in it so I think it's feasible.Will find out soon enough.Took a while to collect parts as I hunted forums etc for a few months to find good deals.Lots of paitence helps.
