Gulp...How much you askin for her? Is she really for sale? I think like $7k is the most I will be able to get together anytime soon so I know it is a pipe dream for me, but still....boys gotta dream

 

Oh, my. I just love when you can see the engine! That is dead sexy.

James

 

That is beautiful. Just plain beautiful.

 

Well in my eyes everything is for sale even though im not saying its for sale, if you know what I mean. What im trying to say is, There is a price for everything. Only thing is I wouldn't accept anything lower 15k for it. So I guess you can see what im saying, na shes not for sale.

 

Man, I knew that something that beautiful must come with an appropriate price. How much did all of tha work cost, if you don't mind me asking, of course. And you did your own porting, man you rock!! I will never dog on S4s ever again!!

 

My receipts alone add up to somewhere around $15k. Which is an awful lot and I wasn't expecting to spend near that much. It wasn't the major components that cost alot it was all the little odds and end that add up to make that figure sooooo high. Stupid AN fittings cost me $800. Too bad I'll never get back what I invested but it sure is fun. I can't imagine what it would have cost me to pay to have someone do it for me.

 

1FastT2,

Are you running the OMP still or Premix? Those are the oil lines still right?

-Morbius

 

Are you getting any boost creep with that WG? Motor looks beautiful BTW! Also how are you controlling boost? Also why is the stock main fuse panel still in there? Doesnt a standalone do away with those too?

 

Yup im still using the stock OMP, premix I think is a pain in the ***.

 

No I dont seem to get any boost creep. I am currently using a manual valve that I need to get rid of and get something different. I still have the stock fuse panel because I still use it for all the main power wires from the battery, gotta have the stuff fused, and it wouldnt make sence to buy a new fuse block when you have one that will work fine.

 

thats actually a pic of my engine bay 4 years ago..yes it is stock injection or wait unless 8 injectors are considered stock for you oh the turbo is a t-66.....back then now its a t78...........

 

1FastT2,

Can you help me with some info on the turbo oiling lines? I dont have any of the supplies yet and sorta want to go ahead and order the lines before ripping into my T2 again. So at least I have them here. Do you have a part listing of what you used? Or directions with the part numbers or supply list? Im installing a Garrett T04E so it should be close I would think...Let me know.

Thanks
-Morbius

 

Ok here is a complete (i hope) list of what I used.

Oil supply:
8mm 1.25 pitch @ 90° on engine block to -4 hose to 1/8" NPT on turbo
Oil return:
Turbonetics 1/2" NPT adaptor on turbo to 1/2" NPT to -8 hose to 1/2" NPT to Turbonetics 1/2" NPT adaptor on engine block
Water feed:
1/8" NPT @ 90° from side of engine intake manifold to -6 hose to 1/4" NPT @ 90° on turbo
Water return:
1/4" NPT @90° from turbo to -6 hose to lower portion of the water pump neck

Hopefully you can understand what I have here. And I also hope I have all the correct fittings there. Feel free to correct me if anyone sees something wrong.

 

1FastT2,

So you didnt do the holly carb jet thing in the oil feed line? I guess ill order my turbonetics parts tonight...are those other fitting aeroequip fittings? and from where?

-Morbius

 

Nope there are no Holley carb jets in my oil lines. I beleive I used all Russel fittings. I had my local shop order them for me.

 

DAMN!!!!! that is clean dude, clean.

Are those 1600cc injectors on a K2rd GTX fuel rail???

 

With my meticulous nature, I'd have damn near the same thing...should I have had a TII.

So, bump b'c It's worth It. These pics have still not outdone Itself.
