I'm sure the heft is one reason they can handle the abuse. All that stiffness and heat soaking ability is how the deisel guys push these things so hard. I am just really hoping I don't lose to much response coming from my turbonetics. The brick sitting up front is just gona make me figure out where I can loose weight in a different spot. Like maybee hacking up my hood.

The Holsets weigh a ton. The first time I held one I seriously rethought my turbo choice. Something Garrett based is SO much lighter and more compact.

Awesome!

All back together. Oil filter and a couple hoses for my crankcase, should be ready to fire up tomorrow.

The little things always slow you down, dang it. The holset placement was really close to the turbonetics, but just not perfect. A little mod and back in the game. Why are these turbos so dang heavy?

The outside is single stage? See I did a truck in single stage gloss white years ago and thought it look great, you could buff it out easy too. I wanted to see if you could get a matte single stage white, think that would look sick with a red interior.

Not the outside, thats mostly oem. Inside is rustolium.

I just used rustoliums proffesional series, painted with my crappy detail gun. I can touch it up anytime with the rattle can version. Single stage gloss white. It looks nice in person I think. Next on my list is finishing my door panels etc.

I've been posting on both your threads haha. Questions, what did you use to paint the inside of the car? Rattle can, single or multi stage paint? just curious. I've been wanting to go white so bad, car is currently zinno but I'm not a huge red guy.

235 front and rear. Yep it took some fender work front and rear. With more camber it would be easier, but I want traction not hella flush. Lol

[IronFreak]

Did you have to roll your fenders pretty hard to fit 245's squared?

[obrian]

Motor back in the car, yee ha!

[obrian]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Hope to have it going real soon.
