tnsaleen's Official Build Thread: 700rwhp or Bust!

[Sky Render]

I've always liked TiAL. I've also seen a lot of actual race cars use their parts.

Tial and Turbosmart are the best brands imo.

Some pictures of the hotside. I still need to order a new wastegate, install o2 sensor bungs, the Y pipe, and cut out. Overly pleased with how rigid the kit is and how it turned out.

Nice progress!

 

[tnsaleen]

Thank you. I am getting the hot side welded up by a buddy who welds for a living, and then it will be getting ceramic coated shortly after.

It took me close to 30 hours to make the hot side. First time for everything!

Where did you get the fan and shroud setup?

 

[tnsaleen]

Picked it up on Amazon for about $100. The mounts were all in the proper locations and the shroud is pretty nice. I haven't had any problems with it but I just got it on. In 92 degree humid traffic it does fine so far

Yeah, if your turbo kit doesn't require modification of the front suspension and lets you keep the front sway bar, even I'd buy it.

I guess I should have made a jig then haha

Haven't had time to work on the Saleen much. A few updates:

Motor is back from the machine shop. I got the white line adjustable swaybar endlinks on along with the sway bar relocation brackets. Installed koni yellows, H&R SS springs, and the hotside is welded up. I am waiting for the wastegate to come in and then it will go off to be ceramic coated, then the fun begins.

Also got the 95 style cobra r hood installed and the hood and front bumper should be done at the paint shop Wednesday!

Stainless intake and exhaust valves in the 08 heads.

Soon. I have been in a school for the Army and had to put this on the back burner
