Cptpain, You should check out the Banzai-Racing website.

 

Nothing but top notch work from this shop. They treat every customers car like if it is their own. Had my engine built by Banzai-Racing over 5 years ago, I do all types of driving and still pulls 14" of vacuum.

 

Nice car, can't wait to see the results.

I just helped put a 20b together for a friend and we used your oil pan brace. Nice part so I thought I'd give you a plug

 

This is the cleanest swap ever!!!!!

 

Here are a few updated pics. We got the turbo blanket and filter/screen installed. Along with a few other odds and ends. Wire wheeled the strut nuts just for Mdpalmer





And it all fits nicely under the stock hood

 

It is just so hard to quit starring... Everything is so tidy. Again, great work!!

 

When is she going up for sale?

 

Nice choice of wheels.. I have the same as well.

But excellent set up and excellent work you guys did. Mad props to you guys...!!!

 

It's OK I stare at it too

That will not be happening any time soon, I have had the car for 9 or 10 years now, I am not going to get rid of it now that I have it just the way I want it

Thanks. I will have to get some much wider wheels very soon.

 

Thanks, and you know it looks better j/k, just giving you a hard time! Wish I could get a ride in that thing after the tune.

 

Thats one of the most beautiful things i have EVER seen.

 

So when do you get full boost (14-16 PSi) by

thewird

 

^I totally agree. Congrats Chris and Elaine. You have to be super proud of this machine.

Are you finished building it or is there anything else you want to do? besides tuning and bigger wheels/tires.

Maybe a hood? I know you wanted one. Personally, I would leave the stock hood unless you absolutely have to have more air flow. But that's just me.

 

Wow... beautiful outcome. I love detail and the effort that went into tucking and routing everything so neatly as to minimize exposed wires and connectors. Efforts like this take a long time to get right, and you guys definitely did this job RIGHT. Looking where you placed the FPR has me thinking of my car and a possible relocation. Lots of quality thought that obviously went into the final product.

 

can you still put in the strutbar? (R1)

 

We only have 20 miles on the engine, we wont know until the engine is broken in and we finish tuning

I actually have a brand new RE hood, but the louvers hit the engine. The stock hood fits perfectly. We will see how things go, I may end up with the FEED hood.

There is some other little stuff like a custom underbelly tray that I need to make.

Thanks. We actually made a bracket to allow the FPR to be mounted there. It is easy access, and not in the way of anything else

The front two intake runners are in the space where the R1 bar need to go.

 

this thread is a prime example of why Chris is the ONLY individual that touches my car!!!!!!

 

If you are not going to keep the stock hood I think the feed hood is going to be your best bet, nice clean lines.

 

such an amazing motor.. great work..

 

Here is the video of the car starting up on the first turn of the key

Very impressive, can't wait to see the dyno numbers.

Imagine the endless fun you could have ******* with Porsches and Vettes in this beast.

 

Don't forget the Ferrari's and Lamborghini's.

 

....and Vipers. Those guys hate getting passed by a 16-17 y/o old car

 

Nice job. Your hard work paid off there.

I wish you could move that radiator inlet and fit a filter onto that turbo. packaging gets difficult on this car.

 

nice found how im gonna do my rad/int setup thanks for the idea... you gonna put AC back in?
