It now runs and pretty well at that. Looks to be leaking a bit from the oil drain. I tightened the flange bolts and it looked like it stopped for awhile then later tonight it leaked again wtf! I will pull it off and replace the gasket next time I work on it. Overall it is doing really well! A few people took vid of it running today maybe someone will post up or I should maybe get a decent vid tomorrow.
Everything that was under the hood all behind the drivers seat now. Need to make a box/mount this stuff still.
Thermotec heat/sound barrier installed through most of the car on top of dynaliner that was there from last year. Maybe 5-7lbs for all of it.
To show you the backside of it
Got the dash in and called it a night

Had the car on the dyno and forgot to post the graph here. Whoops! I only went to 12.5lbs and didn't want to get greedy just yet. Driven the car about 300 miles already haha. HP is listed at the bottom right of the graph...I let out of the gas a little soon but I run it to 6700 so the graph is a lil short. This was on pump gas and 14* I was considering adding timing after peak tq to get the hp up but again..greedy. I plan to get to the track ASAP and turn it up even more once I am used to the setup.
Love it!
Love it!

Thanks man. I actually finally biffed the car and finished the interior so I will get some finished pics up soon. It really turned out to be just as good or better then I had envisioned. I am really happy!
Oh and you better believe I plan to turn it up even more in a few months ha.

Just a lil something FI put together for me. I sent in an S480 and they did a new race cover machined to fit the hp-88 wheel it is now running. I'm no turbo expert but that is what I gathered lol.
I can't wait to see what it makes on 16-18lbs a little later in the season.

Yeah it is a ton of fun on the street. I have changed the tune some one the street now after some logging. We were only on the dyno a few min as I was late for a prior obligation. I am anxious to get back on there because it was super rich up top(10.0-10.4) which I have leaned up while street tuning to around 11.4. Prob could use some timing as well. Feels even stronger now.
But I am more of a track guy anyhow...so we will base the changes on track times. Trying to get out wed!
