I was able to see the car run for the first time today. Everything works and sounds bad ***!! Scott @ Mazsport took me for the first run around the block with no boost breaking in the motor. He is going to start tuning and I hope to take delivery of my 15K project when I get home from vacation next week.

 

15k as in $$$?? thats a little much eh?

 

Looks Sweeet!

 

OH Yeah 15K !!!

Nothing but the best has gone into this project.

 

What turbo you running?

 

Looks good Mark!!!
I thought by now you would have running already, but all good thins take a while...

 

Trust me - 15K is actually pretty good, if you're gonna do it right.

 

i am jelous

 

Post what was done. I'm going to do a -re or TII swap in my SA right after 7 stock. I need to start buy stuff.. Also can you post a list of item you bought? How much power are you shooting for? Thanks

 

Looks nice!, that break in period will seem to last for ever, but after that, the fun will be had!

 

doesn't that adaptor for your throttle body look a little obtrusive?

 

15k
wtf

show us more pics then.. including interior and side angle shots

 

yes, whats in there?

 

I had the stock turbo rebuilt and wastegate ported.

I will post what has gone into the entire build later tonight.

Labor to Scott @ Mazsport for some of the work.
I did the engine swap and he did the final work and wiring

I am sure I am forgetting a few things, plus the 2500 I spent to but the SE

 

Looks great !!!!!!!!!!! More pics and maybe a video, when you get time!

 

Forgot:

SS brake lines

Gas tank was modded for fuel pick up on bottom/foward part of the tank instread of factory top location. This allows gravity to flow the fuel right into the pump and filter. (this is really cool, I'll post pics when I get home)

 

He didnt say a $15k engine, he said the whole project was this much. Not a bad price, considering you paid for labor and shop space and everything. That setup also should be pretty damn reliable, unless you race haha.
