how you folks doing! ive been building an fc for some time now and figured id share it with the forum. ive been on here a couple yrs checking out othere rides and buying,selling parts this by far is an awsome forum. anyways lets get started. im currently 20 yrs old out of MN, the ride is an 88 turbo 2 which was given to me as a gift for my 16 bday.... tho the engine was blown lol. oh well the body was in awsome shape. bone stock with 88k on it. its been about 5 yrs and it only has 101k now, garage queen i guess. its basicly been an ongoing project now moving twards drag racing. here is a recent photo of it. ill go through some more details of the car soon.

ROTATIN' PERFORMANCE

 

let me rewind and start from stock,

 

pics

 

wow what a clean body. anymore recent pics?

 

so i did a cheap build in the s4 block using the stock turbo, ecu and went 4 bridge port, with an afc and stock injectors. that really didnt last too long, ended up poping that quick, just had alot of fuel issues. anyways from there i baught afew more things like a supra tt fuel pump, 850cc injectors and snagged a t66 turbonetics. reported a center iron with a street port and used ra 2mm super seals. still using the stock ecu and a apexi neo. i went to fbm, to get some ic piping and a full 3" exaust done, at this time i douldnt really fab anything up myself. (didnt have a welder or a decent sized garage.

i was hard headed so i adjusted for fuel on the neo myself and surprisingly ran fine, never had any problems starting or anything. i think it was like 11th grade thinking i was all cool because i had a decently fast turbo car lol

 

then came the track days.. still using a stock trand and diff. on the stock 16" and a 235 street tire, slipping from the launch.i broke about 2 stubbs at 2 different times i went out. this was just dumping the clutch at high rpm, im car # 147


a while later engine went boom

cracked the front iron (s4)

 

here is when i acctually droped a few pennies ito it and went with a fd block bridged high end irons, and a standalone, 90mm throtle body and 1600cc injectors, got some wheels too

 

as for a mount for the fd engine i just made my own driver mount and drilled the center iron for the stock fc mount



car was then tuned at fbm and made a respectable 500 hp to the wheels



still using the street tires, slipping like crazy i got a 10 out of the car

 

here is a more recent photo just to keep you folks interested hahaa

 

Looking good!

 

heres 2 more recent pics, i bought a set of cabmer mounts from another member, and moded the stock strut, now the front end sits decent,

 

Looking good Ricky I like all the changes you've done to the car suspension, wheels keep up the great work....

 

gracias mano^ in these boring winters here i decided yet again that the 500hp wasent enought so i did a few more things to the car. snt a full rotating assbly to RG machine shop in PR to get clearanced and then had gaby skern balance everything.
the block was then doweld localy and had the irons resurfaced.

 

this much power was fun.. although all the car did is tire spin. i soon went back to the track and ended up blowing the single plate clutch. it had a couple miles on it at this point tho

 

Looks great what a monster!

 

what fuel type mate ?

 

i was using pump e85 at that point. e98 seems more promissing and its sold by the barel so this yr we will be trying it out

 

badaas brother, badass!
