New toy for the STI

[Turbineguy]

New toy came in the mail a few days ago. Should be fun.:D

Since I'm still on stock pistons I'll be tuning it conservative and shooting for around the 370-380whp mark. Once the built shortblock goes in I'll go for ~430ish. Along with the new snail I'm speeding up the air to water intercooler project to go with it. Looks like I'll be installing it the third week in October since I have to go TDY to Eglin on the 30th. More to follow.

wow, big bucks man. wat u gonna do with ur old turbo? zach might be interested in it since he is literally rite now putting his stroker kit together in his car... we drop the motor in tomr =)

[Turbineguy]

Not sure what I'm doing with it. It would be a good snail for a 2.2L stroker setup. More than capable of well over 300whp with the right supporting mods. Have him send me a PM and I'll talk it over.

Gee whiz! That turbo cost more than my whole setup? But then again I've been buying used turbos. Next time I will be buying a new turbo, because I like your style.:p

Should be the craziness.

Nice. Have you upgraded the IC to front mount yet?

[sventhemac]

Looks like thats going to be fun as soon as you get it in. I was in Eglin in march for Combat Hammer. Fun place.

[Turbineguy]

Installed. Pulls like a pissed off draft horse. I'll be tweaking the tune for a little while but it already runs pretty well. Feels like ~360whp or so right now. Sounds completely different when it spools compared to the 18g. Sounds alot like the spool sound from a Supra since they usually use the same Garrett ball bearing turbos (but much bigger). Next up is a fatty turbo blanket and I'll be starting the AWIC project. I think the DOM 3 is a little much for my top mount to deal with.

[Dzaster]

Lol! That was quick. For some reason I was under the impression it was on order. Guess not!

DOM 3?

[Turbineguy]

Dom 3 is the turbo I just put in. Blouch Dominator 3.0R. Most of the Suby guys call it the Dom 3.

[Turbineguy]

I'll work on that.

[Talonboy]

[Turbineguy]

How you doing hon?

It's the Ron. He's back.

[Talonboy]

Yes I am back! The snow is going to melt in two months and Jenna will be ripping up the streets of....Alaska. Ok so that sucks but I'll have her back out and running. I've got 3 grudge matches that need settling at the track.

1. My buddy Jerry
-Vehicle-1995 Eagle Talon AWD (Sniper Nitrous System, 3 inch turboback)

2. My buddy Sean
-Vehicle-1997 Eclipse GSX (16g turbo, Megasquirt, 3 inch turboback)

3. Local boy Kim
-Vehicle- SRT-4 (GT-30R, AMS built motor, AMS tune, currently holds the Alaskan Raceway quarter mile time for FWD, street driven)

Kim is prolly gonna spank the crap out of me though.
