A new stronger engine rises from the ashes, a true Phoenix in AZ
After purchasing my FD3S from an unfortunate engine burn, yes a true rescue, and finally being able to drive it after 5 years of gathering money and finding the best for my restoration project, I build I blow the motor on the very 1st day at the track. Couldn't blame the guy it was making over 400+ confirmed ponnies on the dyno on all original internals. But sad

The new heart prepping for surgery, this bad boy has all the goodies you could possibly want! Elliot and Nick at Turblown.net put this together for me, they said this should do a big boom if it ever goes, especially now that were switching up to race fuel only. My old engine still pushed the car to their shop in North Phoenix
a true trooper. Will always be remembered in my wall, now that is art I can understand
.
will keep all posted on new mods, looking to do a full dual oil cooler upgrade and Ron Davis radiator.

He has a 1.15 turbine a/r
Funny thing is he was pulling away from that vette with only 1 rotor!
7th video down is his stock engine @ 22psi pump gas/water injection
Was making 400ft lbs of torque @ 4400rpms
22psi by 3400rpms

The engine was showing issues during tuning, they said it was hurt and wasn't gonna last too long. Cause of this tuning only went so far and also knowing that the engine wouldn't last I decided to push up its good bye in the track.

That's one of our best selling turbos kits. The only thing we've changed is the turbo manifold, his setup is about 4 years old. If you look in that video gallery there is an fc making even more torque at a little big higher boost on methanol.

with how much power? I've got both the msd and the twin power sitting at home right now and if I can get good results with the msd I'll just sell the twin power
