Brand new 2012 coming in for few mods and a big ass turbo

[CPRsm]

Thanx guys. Dragging a bit of ass today. Left at 430 this morning. Knocking stuff out still, just moving a little slow

 

[CPRsm]

Pretty close. Just finishing up loose ends. A bit farther along than this. Upper hose is done, blankets is on, oil lines run, etc. Can't wait to see the down pipe change colors.

Dustin -Any thought of taking a CAI to the fender well or lower bumper area?

 

[CPRsm]

Honestly I looked. But the turbo is so large, it kinda found it's own place lol. The filter is right at the gap between the radiator and core support. That's the same place the stock box draws its cold air. One of the big reasons I oriented the turbo this way. So any cold air coming in, the turbo should have first dibs on it.

[CPRsm]

Thought you'd like that lol yeah, got some to do yet. A ton of small shit still yet. Should go to dyno today. Wanted to get it running and find any problems if any now. But bleeding the brakes and setting ride height and pinion angle right now.

Oh my, that thing is ridiculous. Not sure how I missed the entire thread the past six months, but I enjoyed seeing the progress. What kind of times is he wanting to achieve with this monster?

Is that downpipe feeding the stock exhuast?

 

[CPRsm]

???

I wasn't sure and was going to PM you about it. I just got a text though kind of explaining it. It doesn't belong to Moby Dick. The cars name is Moby Dick.

Is that downpipe feeding the stock exhuast?

Yeah, right past the shitty H pipe and into the stock axle back.

What kind of times is he wanting to achieve with this monster?

As fast as it will go. But 8's or bust.

Thanks Ahab.

 

[CPRsm]

Why can't it be a band? LOL I saw Matt just asked about it and Liljon told me about who he was.

 

[JeremyH]

May be a bit of a restriction, any plans to go dump or full 3" with better flowing muff's?

 

[CPRsm]

Yup yup. It's got dumps while it's still at a full 3in. A pic or two on the last page.

 

[CPRsm]

So far I hate drive by wire lol. The intake and cams are making a bit difficult for the amateur. The throttle tries to open and the ECU sees more air than expected, you're not getting shit.
Got the stuff today for the new crank trigger so I have to take a lot of the turbo kit off make a mount and get it all situated. Should be able to do all that tmrw, and check the rpm on the mega squirt.

Car's gotten a mile or two on it. Needed to fill it up. Not a bad drive, just need to get the drive by wire figured out.

 

[keoni1984]

They're already turning! Looks sick!

 

[CPRsm]

Down pipe is starting to think about it. But EGT's have only been to about 1000.
