GTUs 20B N/A Build Thread

Christopher W. · 07-30-2009, 08:15 PM

Thanks, I really appreciate the compliments...

I updated over there, so I guess I need to here.

Logan is about to get my rotors back from CLR. Ha, it has taken over a year..

We hope to have the engine together this next month. It will go together first with the stock intake and closed PPs. At that point I will make the 12 hour trip to Ohio. I will get the car and drive for three days to rack up around 1000 miles. Then leave it at Defined until they get the new intake and ITBs happening.

When I pick it up this fall I want the tune to be glitch free and ready to roll.

So, more waiting but that is ok....It gives me more time to pay for it.

I did get a new Nardi Deep Corn 350mm steering wheel with Snap Off (Teqnik) quick release and Nardi hub. I also just bought new Defi control box and 60mm imperial water temp and oil temp gauges.

Next big purchase will be Alcon front and rear brakes...

Yea, I know, big brakes, especially rear, waste of money... If that is what you think then you completely miss the point of my car.

Sounds good man... I've watching this build like a hawk

Its good to set the FC bar so high... I'm just glad to see FC guys stepping up these days, we're too far and few between it seems.

man, I cant stay away form this thread and your not posting updates quick enough for me to quit going back thru all the old post. Man this is a sick car! I have always dreamed of a 20B NA.
This exact car other than white exterior would be my dream! Or this motor in my white FC.

keep up the good work, looking for more post...........................................

Yea, I remember when I was deciding whether to do a 13BT, LSX or 20B, I said I don't want to have my car sitting around in pieces waiting to get finished a year from now... Here we are almost two years later and still not done. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I am very satisfied with the progress. I also believe in the abilities of Logan and Peter to get it done right.

No, I mean when I click the Post Reply button it takes me to the page where you type your message. Above that big white box that you type in are the buttons for putting in the links, bold type, margins, it has a little white smiley face, a paper clip and all of that stuff. That whole blue border above the message area is totally unresponsive and has been that way for two months.

FerociousP · 04-12-2010, 03:45 PM

somebody get this man's post poster working stat... I want to see engine pics!

Christopher W. · 04-12-2010, 05:12 PM

Actually, I would like to see engine pics myself. I have not seen my car in about a year...

I think it is going to finally get some attention in the next couple of months. I expect I will have it back and finished in June.

It is annoying to not be able to post pictures..
