look's great masin.. i still need to come by and check it out.. annnd.. iwannarideiwannaride!!!

Glad to hear you got it fired up :)

Glad you got it fired up! Mine did the same thing to me, started on one rotor then the other kicked in and out until I got the inj's right. I ended up having a short that caused it. The other funny-scarry thing was the oil line going to one of the coolers came off when the presure hit and I didnt even now until I shut it off once it warmed up. I bet I pumped almost all the oil out.... I was sweating it so bad!!! But all was fine.

badass masin, i just now ran across htis thread.. Please bring it to deals gap! do whatever it takes LOL

im doing my best, we shall see if it makes it.

So hows it going?
Last day to get this ready.

no, im not going to take it. two main reasons. one, i have not driven the car yet and am not about to drive it two hours away on a completely new setup. and two my bumper is not back from paint yet. lol im still going, just riding with allen. you guys can stop by my house on the way back if you want sunday.

Post some current pics!

let me get the bumper on tonight!

sounds good!

hopeful;ly we will have a SC meet sometime soon i would love to see this beast in person

get that bumper on and maybe i'll run you on the way home, got that rough spot worked out somewhere between the gap and the georgia/florida state line. :lol:

But seriously, can't for the results buddy - best of luck with 30psi!!! :)

thanks joe, it sucks we couldnt get that thing worked out. what did it end up being? sorry i didnt get to see you guys off, allen and i woke up sunday and decided to just split because of the weather. if you guys want to come through on the way back, that would be awsome and id love to have you!

here are some pics. i have to put my undertray on and tidy up the interior tomorrow, then its off the jack stands and down the road!! the engine bay is pretty much done in the pic below. it looks so much better in person!

and lots of fuel!!

is it the pic or do the mani ports need some work?

The ports do need work, my ports are the same way when I got my manifold.


Masin, post some more pictures of the engine bay..How did the re-route for the heater core work?

i actually havent done that yet. currently it is capped and plugged, as i have many other things to worry about. like tuning!

car made its first drive today, no overheating, but i have alot of work to do with the haltech.

yes the casting job on the lim sucks, gives plenty of room for porting, but not a good idea to just bolt it on and roll.

ill have a bunch of pics this weekend with it all cleaned up and in the sun. man it felt good to drive that thing again!

damnit masin! that mofo make's my sticker peck up lol

well here she is boys. cleaned up and in the sun. yes the bumper doesnt match(which i expected) he is getting the whole car this time and redoing it.

engine bay is not totally complete yet. still waiting on my turbo blanket and need to wrap the DP and some other heat shielding that i found is/was needed. lol also need to flat black the underside of the hood to match everything else.

Car looks great!! Any video's of it yet? Would love to hear how it sounds.

if i had a video camera, lol. right now its fucking loud as its on 4 inch open DP. the exhaust should be getting finished tomorrow, but we shall see. lol

First besides Masin to drive it!!!!


LOL. Drove up to help him tune it a bit and got to drive it a couple of miles. Still needs a lot of work on the maps, but it sounds sweet spooling up to 10 psi. :D

Good luck with it, Masin! Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Reese

thanks for all the help man. she will get there pretty soon. you forgot to mention that that snail was at 10psi by 3k rpms!!

reese worked hard stageing those 4 1600's. we went from it litterally not running when they would come online to decent 11 afrs and a smooth transition. the car is 10 times more drivable now!

It ended up being a spot in the scondary map that went between 50% and 80% in the cells we were having trouble with....thats why sometimes it would push through, outher times it would go way rich. Smoothed that up and it was running really nice :)

Car looks awesome man, with only that shiney comp. housing in there it looks menacing - v8 killer...?? V10 killer. :lol:

glad you noticed the comp cover, thats actually what i was after!

so you mean you can rev past 4500 now?!?!? lol

update, got the exhaust all done and it looks sick. its still retarded loud, but its behind me now. suprisingly quiet while cruising. pics in a minute.

twin 400's .. you the man... or take that sticker off!!!

When you going to see Ray?

hey, change the "Twin Turbo" sticker to "Big Turbo" or better yet "OMG Turbo" lol.

Looks sexy. We need vids of open DP asap!!

yes yes yes!!

nope, sticker is staying the same, maybe it will confuse some people!

no vids of open DP considering it has an exhaust now. lol its still loud as hell though! maybe a walk around vid this weekend.

WOW! Looking good!!!

I heard the s475's sound so nice. Eric Cheatum has a video of his first gen going down the road and all you here is turbo!!

Full RPM band baby! 7.3K w00t! :lol:

That exhaust tip is super cool, the CF gaurd is a nice touch also, fits the lower black/CF items on the car well.

How wide are those rear tires again?? :)

be careful to not suck up any small animals with that thing! lol

tires are 255's on a 10inch rim. we shall see how well they hook. if they dont im thinking of having the rears made wider(1inch) and run 315 drag radials.

and the turbo, yeah, it sounds sweet now that i have an exhaust on it. sounds like you are going to take of just accelerating in vac!!

you going to use ray or steve?

ray if i can get him to come.

How is the turbo kit Masin? Getting the job done?? :)

let me just say that his car sound's fucking retarded bad.. that might sound dumb , but you gotta hear this thing in person... and it's not even tuned.. that's awsome..

Take it to Ray, leave it for the week.. That will be the best thing so if you run into any problems he can fix them.

BTW who built the motor? What all was clearanced? Just curious as that was part of us stoping were we did.

i built the engine. mandeville ballenced the rotating assembly and clearanced the rotors(comp faces and sides) along with the guru oversized stud kit.

id love to drop the car off with him, but he is 9 hours away and if something goes wrong, yes he can fix it, but i will have to pay for it. that is one thing i absolutely hate is other people working on my car. now i know it would be done correct etc, it just makes me un easy. dropping it off has been in the back of my head for sometime now, so we shall see.

charlie, turbo kit is good so far. had fun getting my turbo blanket on lol. i forgot how much of a big difference those things make in underhood temps!! this week we should be getting up to wastegate pressure and be able wind it out to 7 or 8k rpm. cant wait to hear the gates open!
