I am really excited about this turbo though. Just curious to see what the torque curve is going to look like from 3-5500 rpms. Id love to see it on a small street port or even stock port but beggars can't be choosers.

Haha David, I thought you might have gotten the boot or something. Good to see you around hehe. I'd like to see what the 9180 could do on my new motor :-)

I saw what he did too! Lol! Me personally I'm curious to see what this will do on a semi pp. It should give some indication what this turbo would do on a 20b.

So we cut off the front end and sanded the engine bay down some more.


Love the way this came out, the full tubed front end is going to look great.

We also took off the old brakes and rotors and swapped it with a brand new set of Wilwoods. Both front and rear were done. Look at the old ones, they sat for a while, and then look at the new ones!

It's been a while since i've updated but i've been busy and so has my builder due to a lot of circumstances. Here's an update so far! We finished up the engine bay stripping it down and painting it.

I'm still thinking about it Stevexk, I would like to but i'm also interested in the evo r demon eyes. Especially since we're wire tucking everything.

Thanks Glease man! The products you produce at your shop are TOP SHELF! The guys at UPR Mike & Jonathan have such attention to detail and are trying to put out something crazy. This has always been my dream build, it was unexpected but i'm glad i'm doing it!

If anyone hasn't checked out Glease Manufacturing go give them a look and like their facebook page too! I loved it, just checked it out recently!
