Upgraded turbo just arrived!

[TheStig]

The transmission(technically transaxle) does not weigh 168 lbs either

I easily picked it up and carried it around and am supposedly disabled

Did you drink a Red Bull before?

 

[RAAMaudio]

I never drink stuff like that

Only supremely good beer at times, one good size cup of fresh ground organic, fair trade, high grade coffer, well filtered water, percolated in stainless steel and timed just right. And sometimes Yerba Mate tea

I was not really easy but not 168 lbs though I used to pick up 200lb kegs of spikes off the ground and put them on a 2.5 ton truck, which is pretty tall, when I weighed just 135 lbs!

I ate a ton of food and was very strong for my weight, worked out, raced bicycles, etc...and just could not gain weight but ate many times more food than I do now. Then I broke my foot on a scateboard and bloated up to 145 which I never went below, now I need to lose a few to be a 165lbs which is a good weight for my struture, age and height, 68"

I can remember lifting afew kegs before, plus many many hundred pound bags of sand at work before i got my cushy office job.

But im a fairly large guy, 5'10 220 pounds, so in theory that should be easy, i still hate it lol.

Beer man eh? Only drink it if you cant see through it!

I am into really hoppy stuff, my wife as well, our favorites at the moment are in this order.

4 Peaks, Hop Knot, cannot get it here

Ones we can get here at the base for a decent price, only other place is at the State stores and the prices are absolutely insane.

Lagunitas, Lil Sumthin
Firestone, IPA
Lagunitas, IPA

Our Favorite local brews are from Epic but only in 22 oz and expensive bottles and hard to find.

We do like a good stout, Russian Imperial, Monk type beers, on occasion.

Back on topic!!!!!

After busting my butt grinding, welding, etc....making some part nobody does the way I want it, or many many hours porting the manifold, etc....a couple, or more, great brews, what a way to cap off the day of making cool stuff for our ST

Why are the datalogs set to private?

Bummer that the boost still drops so much for the same WGDC but should be interesting to see if tightening up the WG will help at all as it might just be blowing it open.

 

[dyn085]

So not everyone can see them.

I understand the concept of the private setting, I just didn't understand why you would offer to email them to people in post #246 when you could just leave it public for people to see.

Razor, you actually hit it right on the nose.

No worries, I was just curious. It just seemed odd before posting your last post. Makes sense now.

I am so close to finally getting the car on the road to break it in and start logging, tuning, etc....

I have built many cars and this one is easy to work on but I have not done my own BBK's inside 15" wheels, modified a rear beam axle, put 9" wheels on a skinny car without major mods meaning a lot of time spent on rolling and pulling, never made a short shifter in 4 phases as it took to do what I wanted on this one.....I have so many hours into these mods I cannot even begin to add them up...it is a labor of love but now it is time to get it all wrapped up and have some fun!

I will drive it tomorrow after a few hours of alignment unless I have to make any major changes ont he rear axle before I do the final welding.

The car starts and runs great sitting in the shop, no codes, no leaks, just the brakes took hours and hours and hours and OK to drive on but not 100% complete yet!

The good thing though is any of our fellow enthusiasts want to pursue this course, the ground work is all done and you will be able to order parts and just bolt them on as I give away all my designs to those that want to produce them for you.

I am so excited to drive the car, finally!

 

[RAAMaudio]

After I start breaking it in I will probably pull the turbo and port the WG and turbine outlet, just ran out of time dealing with the brakes........

I am sure this is going to be great fun when the tune is all sorted out

 

[rodmoe]

DO they make the brake hat in a 4x108 bolt pattern or will that need to be redrilled ??

 

[rodmoe]

Holy cow... Joe/2J needs a turbo like this on road course car !!! Rick is going to LOVE THIS.

IIRC Joe went big and has EFR fever
