Hey dregg, Yeah im gonna try a smaller housing to see how it affects spool. I pm'd you to ask how urs spooled but you didnt get back to me. I think even the smallest T6 housing will flow good enough to hit 600hp. Im gonna tryy to get as much power as i can on pump between 15-18psi until i get the water injection setup. But the plan is 20 psi daily.

Im gonna run 15psi of the wastegate springs, 20psi- 1st setting on profec b, 25psi- race fuel 2nd setting on the profec b.

I think the .80 or the .96 will do me well. If you have any suggestions let me know.. Thanks for looking..

Allrotor93 owned the car. Took the 20b out and sold the shell.
It will have another 20b soon.

The wheels are nice. Work vs-xx. Thanks for the compliments.

I think you got the smaller 87mm turbine wheel. That .80 is really going to choke it out, I think you should have gone larger. Its coming together nicely though. Any estimate on when its going to be running?

The last of the parts should be here this week, including the turbo. Motor should be in hopefully by this weekend. Man i'm looking forward to hearing this thing come alive.

I can really appreciate all of the nicer cars on the forums now. Lots of money and time goes into these projects. I would hate to see the budget on ernieT's car... lol

Yeah, i stopped adding at the amount that i knew i would get kicked out the house and have to live in the car.. These things are an addiction. I had a fairly decent fc a few years back and use to explain how i spent $15k over maybe 4-6 years. Well double that in 8 months is where i stopped counting...

WTF! And it is no where near on the level as the top forum big name guys... But i do appreciate you guys looking and commenting, I can't wait man. This is my first fd and im stoked.

I've driven 2 and rode in 3 fd so far, and knew i had to have one. The widebody fd that Ernst bought (rx7world), and Bryan Smiths 20b fd that did 511hp@11psi. And my buddys "god like" fd. lol. So when i say im like a kid in a candy store right now, it's a understatement..

I will have more pics soon. Thanks guys.
