Started Suspension work!
- Thread starter MaximumRisk
- Start date
^^I hear ya. This was supposed to be a k-member swap, coil over conversion, and now I am re-doing the wiring and inner fenders, WTF??, what happened?? LOL, I got a little carried away:smash: It happens to me ALL the time, hahaha, but hey I really enjoy working on cars so it's ok. Aiming to have the car ready for the Montauk cruise. Fingers crossed
Finally and update!
I was finally able to spend some time on the freaking car to get it ready for the Make a Wish cruise.
So far:
-got suspension components in (except for panhard bar. Might not run it after all)
-cleaned up/ hid most of the wiring.
-Upgraded Turbo to a larger unit (Borg Warner s3xx).
-Made support for turbo (that mofo' weights over 37lbs :nervous:
)
-Fabricated 4" downpipe (what a bitch to route that thing :nono
-Upgraded wastegate to a 50mm
-Upgraded steering rack to 03 Cobra unit
-MM power steering kit for a more solid steering feel
and some other stuff....
Should finally get me above the 350whp that I so desire
here are a few pics, did not take more 'cause they were coming out kind of dark.
Anyways...here they are

nah! no secrets really. I just wanted a turbo that would get me over 700whp on pump gas.
My old turbonetics got me to 640 @15lbs, but tuner did not want to up the boost without adding some race gas, which I did not want to do.
The unit is very similar to the very popular Bullseye s380 (based on the same turbo, Borg Warner) but it was build by Forced Inductions instead of Bullseye.
This turbo should get me to my power goal with little effort (I hope) and should give me room to grow

thanks everyone!
Yes Anthony price was a factor, but also these BW units have been outperforming the very popular Garret gt-42's. I got this one with an 83mm turbine wheel with a 1.00 ar, but they are also available with an 87mm and the guys at Forced Inductions now offer them with a 93mm? (not really sure, but I know it is in the 90's) for even more power!
the S380 is a cheaper, but proven turbo that makes a ton of power and has lots of support.
