Taco's hopes and mostly dreams.

Ordered a bunch of stuff from bluntech including the Gates racing timing belt yesterday morning and just received it. Crazy fast shipping for quality parts!


On another note, I'm getting a new front sway bar Im not sure I want to even touch the rear for traction issues. Any insight or suggestions for this, and yes I do autocross very frequently.

Got the new turbo and painted it for teh bling. Its a cxracing gt35r, I wanted to get a baseline on where I want to size the turbo and go from there. This turbo was about 250$ and is extremely good quality for that price.. I retract this statement 10 folds over, quality looked ok, and seemed balanced, however it lasted 900miles............. 7/21/14

Wired in another fan, this a pusher to help with cooling, I noticed in 100 degree heat the temp would rise a bit over 1/2. Should help.




Then Wanted to test bbk clearance with the deep dish wheels, looks like I would need a 12mm spacer plus. Looks pretty damn cool though.




Also got exhaust planned out, I was considering a 3in down pipe to a 4 in down pipe back. However clearance would be a major issue. So Im going with dual exhaust similar to stock but 2.5 inches each.

Looking good. Where did you get the exhaust pipes? I know we aren't close to each other, but I haven't found any place in my town that will sell exhaust piping, including muffler shops.

Yep local to summit racing, total cost of the exhaust will probably be under 120$.

They are a amazing store to have locally, Ive gone there atleast 30 times getting parts.

Thanks man You should have the sway bar any minute too.... Just getting a chance to check out your thread..... Awesome work

[TheTacoMan]

Got it yesterday actually, super quick once again.

Going to be getting all these parts on soon.

[TheTacoMan]

Intercooler is on, also have the other side of the car done. The ass is fat. I need bigger wheels.....

[TheTacoMan]

I need this, looks terrible on this car but oh lordy.




Edit: Found more

Gather around children this is why test fitting and modifying some ebay manifolds is necessary. Ports dont line up, this will be fixed by cutting the manifolds and mathcing them to the cylinder head easy fix.


Also got the cylinder head all together, Bimmerheads 284/280 dual pattern turbo cam, hd rockers, and their badass cam gear. They were great to deal with and have some very high quality parts for a honestly great deal.

Intake and a exhaust were ported matched as well as all the new stuff was put together. New drain line was put on. I kinda went a bit crazy with the M-Power color scheme.

New spacer until I get new wheels.

Wastegate is being welded up.
