We'll guys Im on the way to joining the single turbo world. I put an order into Gotham in october. Im still waiting. Im going with a GT42R with a T6 flange, 1.08 A/R, GReddy 3 row along with there 3.75 race exhaust. I have a full KG Parts fuel system with 1600 and 1000 cc injectors. The motor was built buy Gotham with a stage 3 street port with 3mm seals. When I get all the parts and start to put them on I will post some pics. I think that I will be going with the TEC3R stand alone system. My goal is to have a high 650 to 700 hp car.

If I am missing anything to get to my goal please let me know.

 

Have you thought about water/meth injection?

 

I have thought about it. I talked to several people that said that I shouldnt need it.

 

I finally got my Greddy full race exhaust. Its is 3.75 inches and looks great. I have also revieved my 60mm Tial waste gate. Im still waiting to get the FMIC and radiator that Gotham has misplaced along with the charge pipes.

I placed this whole order back in October.

 

Check out ErnieT, 752rwhp dyno pull in the 3rd gen. section, under dyno runs.
After talking to him, and Ray Wilson (PFSupercars), last weekend at PFS. I will put water/inj on my car to. I think this is good insurance.

 

I agree it would be a very good insurance policy.

 

I love the UPS guy. Today all of my parts came in. I will get pics up soon.

 

Nice, can't wait to see the pics

 

Sounds nice! good luck mang!

Did you have the rotating assembly balanced? What about extra dowel pins??

 

Don't forget upgraded full pump
maybe a catch can
upgraded Clutch
ignition

 

What djseven said. Those power goals it would be safe to have a dowel pinned, rotating assembly balanced, and a 2pc eshaft motor. My power goals are the same.

 

djseven, I had gotham build my motor. At that time I didnt know as much as I know now. So I dont know about extra dowel pins and I sure hope the assembly is balanced.

Silverflash2, For rite now im going with dual intank fuel pumps. If that doesnt work I will upgrade to one large pump. I did get a catch can and Im waiting to get my new clutch. Im thinking of the exedy twin plate. I would like to go with something that is a little cheaper but I dont know what will work. As for the ignition rite now im going with the ignition coils in the TEC stand alone.

As for the 2pc E-shaft that is a little out of my budget rite now.

 

Good choice

 

The site is having troubles uploading my pics at this time. I will try later.

 

The start.

 

Greddy 3 row and Gothams manifold with a T6 flang

 

GT42R , Greddy full race exhaust rear section is on the car already, Gotham DP. The hot side and the DP are ceramic coated.

 

A little cutting took place on the bumper support.

 

Next up cutting up of the front bumper. I decided to take my time and cut a little out at a time. The end result ended up perfect. I did notice that the opening on the stock bumper is WAY to small. Will a 99 front end be any better.

 

Getting a little closer. I still have to put the new brackets for the radiators new placement. Just waiting on my charge pipe from Gotham. Another week or two on that I think.

 

That looks awesome man, when do you think your going to order the tec3 and get her started? I want to see some dyno numbers!!

 

makes me want a bigger turbo!

 

Im not sure when I will get the ecu. Im doing my best to get all the $$$ asap.

 

The balancing is not a standard option by them or really many shops that I know of as it isnt really necessary unless someone is shooting for your hp goals. Even then it is debatable.

If you are really shooting for 600rwhp+ I would ask gotham to go back thru the engine while they still have it and have it balanced, it will cost more but will be cheaper than a rebuild on a blown core. Just ask them because they will point you in the right direction. Great shop.

Edit, just realized the car is in your possession so my above statements are really void. I will be interested to see how the engine holds up if those power levels are reached. Goodluck, the setup looks nice.
