FL El Vino.

I am posing this for my good friend Chris, he started out a customer but as past we grew close. Anyway English is his third language so I'm posting this for him he will come in and add onto this tread.


Pics of how the car came to his shop/warehouse.






Engine is out and it's time to open her up and inspect the parts.

There was a good amount of water damage to the motor, so the housings were replaced and we went with small streetport, rebuild twins w/ported wastegate, ID injector, Super fuel pump & aeromotive FPR.

Hey man , I like quick spool as well thats why i'm sticking to the stock twins , But I have a friend who went single with a smaller Modern turbo , so he could have that quick spool , and STILL make more power then me haha

I hope to see you at the Rotary Meet Meet at Markham park this year .

This is Erik , the owner of that mess of an engine that we had all sorts of problems taking the flywheel off hah

Chris twins don't spool all that vs newer technology turbos.

Stock twins are WAY over rated in my book, there are so ways to compensate for quick spool with the new technology!!!

Thanks to everyone for the comments. So El vino is getting some more upgrades done. RE intake manifolds, V mount, FFE fuel rails, HKS air intakes & R1 oil coolers.
