Well just starting my big build here this weekend. Like usual I go from buying a car and saying I'm not going to do much....to go overboard.
This build is named after the stuff I'll be drinking most of the time while buidling it, good old coors silver bullets aka shop beer.
This is kinda of a special car in my area. Being in North Dakota and northern Minnesota, a 911 turbo is not a common site. I bought my 01 gt2 clone out of California in august and I love the car. At the moment it had a codd stage 2 tune and was fun but not fast enough. Here is the current list so far. Was hoping to have it ready to go to tx2k but probably won't be done till april.

Good luck with your project. Bringing all the way to TX2K16™ would be fun. Look me up if you make it down.
Who's going to tune it?
Thanks Todd. Ya if I get it done in time I'll be there. I'm pushing time between this, rebuilding 3 pavers, and trying to keep the girlfriend half entertained.
Matt Sandbeck for Sandbeck race development (srd) is tuning it. He's a local guy and a friend. Best tuner I've ever worked with. Very talented and actually cares enough to spend extra time making tuned perfect in all areas. He does lots of aem setup but this is the first proefi so we will have a learning curve.
Will you be machining a stock K16 turbine housing to fit this new turbine wheel or a new housing all together?
Good luck! Keep us updated.
Machining out the k16 housings. Easy to do. I've been hundreds of turbos over the years, always like to try new stuff and make new designs.
Only costs me 850 to build the turbos. If I upgrade again it will be to efr7163 but that would be after a motor build.

Very cool! Where are the compressor/turbine wheels from? Please post some detail pics when you do the turbos.
comp wheels i have made by the guys who have been making them for me for many many years. The turbines are also made in taiwan but from a new company i have not bought stuff from yet. we will see how they do.
BTW i go have some billet k16 size wheels for sale if anyone needs them. they are what i was going to use until todd told be to just say screw it and go big.
Here is the difference between the billet k16/k24 small wheels (47.5/66/70.7mm extended tip) and the k16/k24 billet 20g wheels (52.5/68/73.2mm extended tip)
