I have to be careful. It will eat small animals.

jeez Mike ..im so jealous! man i remember your car back in the day when we were in St.Louis with all polished pieces you had..
glad to see your 3-rotor conversion almost done!

Steve

 

Wasn't that Art you're refering to?

 

yeah i remember Art (which had more polished parts than i ever seen in my life!) but i thought Mike had polished stuff too...

 

Back then, in ST Louis I had a few shinny pieces. Nothing really polished, but the IC piping and some other things.

Art was the BLING BLING masta.

Either way, the project is coming along. This was just a test fitting. They will remove it Monday and have it polished and start the wiring.

Nice looking Mike. How did it fit, the pic looks like it fit well but there is alot that we can't see. Did she fit as well as you had hoped? I assume so since you are pulling it out to polish it all up. I can't wait to see it in person.

...... What turbo are you using? How much did the conversion cost you?

 

woahh.. dude thats a beast.

 

I believe it's a T-80 turbocharger and the conversion was done by MVA Motorsports (aka Marco Acosta).
There is a bit of info and pics about Mike's car in the thread "20B Conversion Kit" (or something like that) in the 20B Forum.. the thread started by "MVA Motorsport" with about 8 pages to go through haha.

 

I am going to try to be, yes.

It is an 88MM size compressor. As far as cost goes, I recomend you call Marcos Jr @ MVA. Tell him I sent ya. He will do you well.

Thanks!

Here is a picture of the intercooler being assembled. It still needs a few welds here and there, but, you can get the idea:



Here is a side pic during the test fitting. Notice the Downpipe in this picture:

Wish I had $35k right now

 

what computer is used for the 20B conversion? is the stock harness still used(i see it in the pic)? i am going to be selling my car in about 2 weeks to start a 20B project.

 

The stock harness will NOT be used. It was left in there just for the test fitting.

All of the electrical work should be in progress right now.

We have decided to use the Microtech EMS. Many people complain about its abilities, but it is proven... to me anyways.

Once all said and done, I will show the naysayers how "bad" of a ems I have.



Mike

 

Some people argue about how good Mircrotech is (I think it's pretty good) but when you have Marco doing the Mircotech's tuning, there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that it will turn out great. Remember, besides being one of the top drag racers and 20B gurus out there, he is one of the top Mircotech tuners in the world.
