Or is there a reason you have it the way it is?

Sorry for the hijack cjv. I hope the liners are finished this week as they are now shooting for. Keep the pictures coming, the final assembly of all this is the end result we have all been tuning in for.
Sorry for the hijack as well. Yup and it doesn't look like it from the angle the video is shot but I remember them being more over the middle than that... Not my dyno etc.. but still.

Probably 1/3 of what Chad's will! As I was saying I can't imagine what his car is going to sound like with a pair of turbos at 8600rpms! Fred's car doesn't have a lot of engine mods so it's likely only another 15-20rwhp over stock at this point...

FrodeFE,

Performance Development still has my liners and water jackets. I told Neil to press the liners into the jackets and then hold them until he gets the rings. Hopefully any day now.

I just gave an order to Todd @ Protomotive for the new turbo's, external waste gates, MAF, low pressure air intakes and fuel pumps. He said it will take six weeks to acquire or make these parts. In the mean time, Rob @ S Car Go Racing should have he motor assembled along with making up the new set of headers.

What that means is tuning should start in May followed by ERP's finishing of the wide body and suspension. We are still looking at June.

So what turbos did you finally decide on - GT35's? You going to run the air intakes above the intercoolers?

Hey Chad, been a while. I`m always bugging Rob( in a friendly way) about finishing your car. Have you ever thought about using K16/24`s????










Just kidding man, I`m curious to know also what turbos you`re ending up with, A custom turbine-compressor combo of some sort I bet.
Good luck

We recieved some good news. I spoke with Neil @ Performance Developments today and he informed me our piston rings came in and the pistons, liners and liner holders will be shipping to S Car Go Racing today.

That does it for the motor parts. They are all in and the motor should be assembled shortly.

Good to see you updating us here as well!

I hope everything goes your way for once and "shortly" will actually mean within a month or so.

Holy CRAP Chad! There's a real good chance you'll be driving KA this summer. I can't imagine what that first rip will feel like for you after all this time.

I spoke with Rob @ S Car Go Racing today. We have all the parts , however he has four motor builds in front of me. It doesn't appear my motor will be aasembled until June. After that we have the install into car (MAF, Headers, Wastegates, turbo's etc.) and then the tuning.

Realistic time frame............ August or September.
