Orcgrinder's Castro Built Turbo Monster!

[TheNorthBest]

This car is now in North Seattle with a blown engine BTW. I saw it picking up parts from a shop a few weeks back and was immediately interested. Took me a couple weeks to finally find the build. If anyone is interested, PM me and I can put you in touch with the owners now. Pictures really don't do it justice.

What was used for the shifter pivot ball? I am looking to build something similar for my MG and haven't really been able to find anything.

Chris machined a block of stainless steel on the lathe.

Cut-out exhaust is amazing. Was spitting fire at buttonwillow a few weeks ago!

Putting one on my wagon for sure once I swap in the LS!

Your's is awesome! The turbo sounds so aggressive with it open! :woowoo:

What kind of fuel are you running? It would really spit fire on E85!

91 octane, E85 is very limited in SoCal, depending on the area you live in...

God I love this thing. A couple questions, though.

What size tires are you running? Also, what size studs do you have?

215/45/16 Azenis RT-615, with 90mm bullet nose studs

There's a handful of things just in this build that I love and will be using in my m20 turbo build soon enough! And that cutout ahhh so nice

Looks great Chris!

We recently installed an electric cut-out for Kyle, which sounds awesome when open!

Anyway, sorry for the terrible cell phone pics, Polak will be updating with proper pictures soon!
