WELL, i just got a woody....lol, my turbo is in at the shop, i am hoping to have it by the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't read through this entire thread, but what cam, turbo, compression are you running? Or is that a secret? Lol. Just curious. I would love to see you hit your goal.

 

well low slow, unfortunatly the bottom end is still stock... no money to build it again, but i am putting the car back together to drive it for one summer to get the ms running and to try to get this thing to pass inspection... we will have to see at that...

cam is still my mopar performance cam,
turbo t3t4... i will have specs on turbo when i recieve it TOMORROW!!!!

bottom end will be done next year, i am accually going to save up over the summer and get little things for the car. but i am putting it back together so nothing will have to change - lines are all going to be steal braided, aftermarket fuel rail, nitrous ran, and all... the car is going to look the same as next year, but next year i am hoping to have another 200ish hp out of it... the bottom end was going to cost me about 2k, and another k in a tranny, i am going to get the tranny built over the summer and install in next winter (getting one from a junk yard) and having it sent out while i am still driving the car...

the ms was my biggest fear, i do not want to put more money into it if i can not drive it on the street, i know it is going to take some work to get it running good, and being able to pass emisions may be a B.I.T.C.H.... but only time will tell on that... i am ordering the fuel rail prolly tomorrow, or friday, then going to get the turbo and all mounted on the car and get ready to start it on the stock ecu.... we will see exactly how that thing will run on the stock ecu (idol) then get ready for the install of the ms... hoping to have it hit the pavement again on my b day - april 28th

 

WELL, i got nominated for cotm.... so all of u better vote damn it! hahahhaha.... kinda sucks my car is not done yet though?

 

You don't get my vote till I see pics of that nice turbo you have.

So I'm assuming that 400whp is a longer term goal then? Because you are going to need a lot more fire power then what you have right now to hit that. I was considering doing something similar to your build but I just can't justify sinking that much money into my car. Plus I don't have another vehicle at the moment either. Its too bad you're so far away, I'd be happy to help you wrench. Good luck with your build! Keep us updated and make sure you get some video and pictures.

 

year, i am going for next winter accually, have to get me a tranny from a junk yard to start, i am going to have that built over the summer, and if i can get a good price on a block i am going to get that as well... and just start saving, so i am thinking all i am going to do is pull the stock block and stock tranny, switch clutches, and put the new ones back in, but we will see how it all goes... if a perfect world i would have the thing 400 in this summer, then do my braking system over the winter, but that is a stretch i know... time will tell
