You are right about the cubic inch part. I know locally a lot of the guys are running 370 and smaller. Some even in the 33x range and are running 5 teens in this weather

Yea I have watched a few vids of guys going teens on the 76mm. Maybe when ever this engine decides to give out I will run a smaller cubed engine. Just wasn't in the cards this time around.

My Ultimate converter showed up today. This should be the last piece I need to get the car mobile.



Should be picking up the car tomorrow after the intercooler is mounted but did get some shots of the current progress.


V band the throttle body

Sloppy welds, cheap parts, turbo is too small.....I don't think it will run well at all.

Better put it on a car hauler and send it to me in Oregon.

Very nice job. Looking forward to the results too!
