got the idea from tony regoly who is a big tuner in australia he has made some very big horse power cars with this kind of set up.
if it wasnt for the fact that i want to do a few track days i would put an sti auto box in it perfect for drag but poo everywere else
im going to stick to 6 speed manual to get a bit of enjoyment on the street, track and drag
anyone got any more mod ideas?

this is the same turbo as nigel wilson runs on his evo3 and is always on the track so it should be prity good as long as the setup is rite.
this is the car itself wheels are going white. spoiler has gone. (carbon rear wing) no interior just cage and buckets.

What a nasty winter. well not to much extra cash over the last few months so havent realy done alot.
but know its all changed my old engine was open deck block so sold that.
bought a closed deck block. fitting sti 4 crank, eagle rods and wrc omega flat face pistons.
the turbo being so large im going to strugle with lag. so staying with the reversed inlet and iv mounted the turbo in the front bumper.
this way the turbo just has a 90* pipe to the intercooler and there is only about 1.5 foot of pipe to the inlet.
its been alot of work to do this but it should work alot better than rotating it and useing alot of log pipe work.
also as i own a bodyshop it seemed silly if i didnt shave a few pounds off the car and paint it an amzing colour.

a few pics
This is after a week getting everything to fit in the front end.
as you can see i found the easy way. remove the lot and just add a rad carryer that meets my needs.
then i had to chop 3.3" out of the chassi leg to allow for the turbo
then i strengthand the leg inside and plated it back over.
after most of the choping was done to the body and welding suports in ex, it was time to strip it for paint prep.

had the yts lad remove all the sound deadening after i spent a couple of hours on it.
alot hapening all at once. monday engine is being built. the wireing loom is being removed and all the extra got rid of. and getting the shell ready for paint.
as well as trying to do customer work
