Here it is finally. I got it running a bit ago, but blew the engine due to a faulty wastegate. After replacing that and rebuilding the engine, I got this final project, enjoy.

JGS Tools log manifold
JRC 5" intercooler
2.25 charbe piping

The Car



The HMT Love



There it is. Running about 8 pounds on it right now, runs nice and strong. Going through stock exhaust, but has a seperate dumptube for the wastegate. I'm going to be building a 2.5" exhaust next weekend, and hopefully getting it tuned very shortly.

I want to say thank you to all you guys on this site that helped me out with everything, and to Steve for all those free stickers and personal advice

Peace,

Colin

 

nice welds yO! a bigger exhaust will help it out. i think we need a video

 

looking good. have you thoght about running megasquirt for FM? im thinking about tryin it.

car looks real good though. you will have a noticable difference when you get a good exhaust...or run that ---- open DP.

 

It is basically open downpipe.... when I'm at max boost

My exhaust isn't welded to the downpipe yet, I just left the downpipe sitting over the stock exhaust, so it still sounds really badass. I get full boost by about 2600-3200 rpms (I don't know exactly because my tach doesn't work, so I just glance down at my SAFC to see what RPM I'm at. It's hard to keep my eyes on the road and watch that SAFC at the same times.

I was going to run megasquirt, but then I decided to wait for MSII, and here I am. Still an option for the future though

Thanks for the comments, guys. Jeff or any Mod, if you want me to make an official writeup, I would be more than happy to, just let me know.

 

after I get my clutch in maybe snafu and I can make one together since were both local hell we could make a vid of all the turbo mn cars. Anyways are you running a bov? if not my buddy has an extra 1g dsm.

 

It's a 1g DSM BOV

My brother just got a new Digital Video Recorder, so maybe I'll ask him if we can borrow it for the next HMT meet. I need to find somebody local that has some 4 lug stealies with ---- tires so I can burn the crap out of them

 

upullrparts I do if you have a 4x114.3 bolt pattern but I think yours is a 4x110

 

4X100

 

I was thinking, hmm where have I seen those kinda welds before. lol And you definately need to get a vid of it.
