Picked up my car from KDR yesterday. Here is what I had done:

Rebuild motor, monster port and 3mm seals
Garrett GT35/40 single turbo conversion
fuel system
5th gear synchro
front mount
some other minor stuff
etc etc

I'd say they did a great job, as always and I am very pleased. Dave set it up to run on wastegate pressure so I am boosting about 8-9 psi now. The turbo is a dual ball dearing design, so it spools very fast. Power comes on smooth and strong, unlike the sharp kick with sequentials. Dave set the fuel maps pretty rich, so it does hesitae a bit at higher rpms. I've put about 320 miles on it already with no problems. I'm driving her down to Texas this week. Afterwards it will be plenty broken in and I'll hit the dyno for tuning and hp #s.
I took some pics. The ghetto red piping commin goff the turbo is only temporary untill Dave can get me the proper greddy pipe.

 

Here is another shot

 

Here's a pic of Dave finishing up some minor stuff

 

congrats

 

I'm jealous...

 

well ihor won the race......but no bling bling so he gets Disquallified...lol

 

lord of the blings. the one bling to rule all other blings

 

Hmm, what do I rather have, a shiny polished chunk of metal that sits in a shop or a car that actually drives? LOL actually the manifold is getting polished soon. Just don't feel like pulling it and having the car undriveable.

 

How much did all of that cost you??


Arin

 

should have had it done while the whole thing was apart for 2months oh well

 

I'll polish the manifold, and the alternator. No need to do the rotor housings, who the hell looks there anyway?

 

i meant LIM,UIM,TB,Alternator, coolant filler neck etc. rotor housings don't really matter if they are polished. sort of like this

 

the pipe is there now. it was raining when i took the picture. that is water on the paint

 

But vosko...the dirt and **** all over the rest of the engine bay counteracts the bling. Therefore you have no bling. Why didnt you scrub it when the motor was out?

 

LOL

 

the poor exhaust housing is rusted up from just sitting there so ******* long!!

 

such language

 

its pretty clean. i'm gonna powerwash it

if i have no bling what do you have

 

it's all red and its not from driving it

 

looks good Ihor.
