Very nice. I would love to get an NA and turbo it. maybe get a m45 and cold side for drifting.
Any pics of the t25 in there
Did you dyno that t25?
Its always an interest of mine. I think I am going to go with the BRP R3

I'll post engine pics this weekend. I haven't dyno'd it yet, I'm still trying to get a base MAP with the LINK. I'm running the fans parallel and it never gets up to temp with the weather we're having. I'm shooting for right around 200 with 10psi.

BTW, if you go M62, talk to Gary at Track Dog Racing. I've drifted the Track Dog before, you'll love the 62!

Wow you have driven track dog huh! That has a worked kit on it right.
I am looking for about 220rwhp. The kit want want would put me at 230, but with the crap 91 oct. here in CA I will only be at about 220. I have a 99 with a 94 bottom end waiting to go I am just poor and getting married in a few month so there is no spending allowed right now.
200rwhp with the t25 will be dope. nice throttle response on it.
Glad to hear a drifter said I would like the 62. If you liked it so much, why did you pick a turbo???? Thats my big question
i abttle everyday in mind mind. Turbo or SC. The SC #'s and reliability are amazing these days..

Yea Gary's car has a built motor and ported blower. Awesome car. I went turbo just because of price. I pieced this kit together failry cheap. I plan on going M62 with a TDR intercooler on my White '94.

Oh yeah,
As for the wheels. I dont personally like the retro look, but the size and offset are nice. I do like blk with polished lip though. I wish my C8's were 7" wide though. OH well. The azenis treat me right.

you gotta throw a Strongbad/Cheat/Homestar/etc. sticker on the new car too man, that site is great.

Nice car by the way, but why do you declare it a beater with several new top and bottom pieces, a whole new exaust system, and some suspension and safety/interior work?

Thanks man, maybe The Brothers Chaps will give me big stickers for the car

I guess I call it a beater because I purchased it for the purpose of Formula D only. I don't care what happens to it, I just drive the piss out of it.
