Well, most of you probably don't even remember. I don't blame ya, its been almost a year now, and at least a few months of build time. Back in August, I and Marco Prieano (SEM, 10.3X second Carrera) decided to rebuild his 3.5L TT EFI motor and put it in my car. We got all new pistons and barrels, and since the project has spirraled out of control. Instead of using his old turbo's, I decided to order some new ones, BB, and BIG compressors. I looked at god knows how many compressor maps, and talked to quite a few people. I also got new injectors, and lately have just been buttoning everything up. I'm basically just waiting on some fittings to finish up my fuel system and coolant system for the turbo's.

Anyways, after I finished bolting up the manifolds and turbo's today, I decided to snap some pic's of the new engine. On the old setup it made 710WHP at 28#'s of boost, we are aiming for between 850-950WHP at the same boost level this time.

Nice, cant wait to see the finished product.

 

Is that a modified 3.2 intake manifold? I like the extra injectors. What efi system do you run?

Yea, they are 3.2 modified mani's. I run a TEC 1 EMS. As for the injectors, having a dual rail setup makes drivability better, considering I don't have to run 6 massive injectors that would idle like shi t. This way, I have my 375's as my primaries, and the 780's as secondaries. This is the second project car I have run dual rails on, and I won't go back.
