Well, I was hoping to do it sooner, but between meeting a couple goals with the eaton and pleasing some friends with running 10's with it and then slowly collecting parts, I put off the build about 6 months.
I am hoping there isn't a lot of delay between updates, but there are some parts I am still waiting for:
HPP upper
Sullivan Lower
Rails
Coated manifolds
Turbo Rebuild
Looks like next week all of this will be ordered and the turbo/manifolds will be sent out.
I know a lot of people have asked if I am doing the twin kit and compound and right now I am not. Mainly because of $$$. I built my first comp. orange turbo with equity from the house and cc's. I won't do that again. between paying all that off and other personal things, I am working my way out of debt and so the single kit was the best option. Also, I was able to put a kit together very very cheap. I had one customer who upgraded his downpipe from the get go, so I was able to buy his hot side cheap and actually trade labor for it. Another customer had a full custom cold side made while going blow thru and sold me his cold side with BOV for under $200. Jon Lund had his old turbo so I picked that up at a reasonable price and will have it rebuilt(same as my old car, 76mm ball bearing upgrade, Q-trim impeller). found an intercooler from someone who upgraded theirs and got that for very cheap imo.
I already have the MM suspension on the car, which I made a deal with a customer who bought for his terminator in prep. for the turbo setup, but opted to sell the car for a vette before we installed it all.
So I had one pipe, wastegate, couple brackets to buy to complete the kit. As you can see, I didn't spend a lot and it just makes sense to go this route. Plus I have the nitrous installed already.
At first it will be the standard setup, draw thru and all.
For my fuel system:
Fuel Lab pump(1300), fuel lab regulator
Glenns sleeper sump tank, -10an feed, -8an return
80# injectors
I plan to powdercoat the hpp upper and sullivan lower gloss black. I have my valve covers orange and my fore coil covers are black. just need to decide if I want black or silver rails. the regulator is black and will have a bracket off the hpp upper.
I alreay get the halloween jokes from the local track for an orange car, so I may as well live up to the hype. lol
As of now, it will be on the stock motor. Future plans are a big bore 302.
I will update with some pics after the weekend of the current setup and as the build goes along. I didn't do this for some of my other builds and never took pics and regret it. so hopefully this will force me to take the pics and have a record. lol
I think that is about it for now. Can't wait to be back in the game.
