Hey guys,
I am so nearly at the point where I can fire up my car, but I have run into a pretty large snag this weekend. I have an HY35 that I was planning on using. I welded shut the wastegate flap for external use, built a downpipe for it, and fully converted it to studs for my good n tight manifold.
Turns out however, that one of the studs sits close enough to the side of the turbo that a nut just cannot be threaded onto it. I am working on a hopeful solution to that, but we shall see.
So, that being said I am starting to consider other options if this doesn't work for me. The goal is a weekend/track car making 350-400 to the wheels. I am more interested in a quick spool then large dyno numbers. My car is completely gutted, roll bar, seats/harnesses, cut out spare tire well, fuel surge tank in the trunk, and will eventually have full aero (splitter and wing) as well as fender flares.
Is there something else budget minded I should be looking at? That is why I went with the HY35 originally, as well as it was recommended as spooling very quickly.
