95 turbo vert

[5.slower]

Just want to share some of my pics of my 95 turbo vert.
Bought the car 1yr ago, had been parked outside for 3yrs belonged to some ricer who messed this car up and now I'm trying to save it. Had a reality check and had to go with what I could afford.
Car has a boostbrothers turbo kit, Fcam, tfs springs, crane 1.6 RRs, FRPP pushrods, summit highvolume oil pump, canton knock 7qt oil pan, heads are stock e7, spent 120 to have them surfaced, valve job and springs installed, friend at work gasket matched the heads to the intake and light port and polish work. The car is going to be sonic blue after it is finished.

Thanks! Love that AAR Cuda' in your sig, is that yours too?

 

[OnyxCobra]

you remind me all to well of my plans for the project i'll be doing on mine

Sick man. Good to see someone else running this kit too. You should start a build thread for us all to watch

It takes time and alot of effort to finish a project. Sometimes I get off work tired of working on trucks all day, then get home and go to the garage and just stare at the car in pieces, work on it for a while and go home.

 

[94svtturbo]

Haha. im right there with ya man. My car was built at my buddys garage so it makes it a lot harder to get up and go over there to work on it. its worth it in the end tho i guess

Thanks svtturbo, I will try to start another thread from the very first pics of the car before teardown. How is your kit? I hope that with the few mods I have I will atleast hit 350rwhp with the 6lb spring.

Cool man. Nice car. Since this is more of an intro-type thread instead of Tech, I'm going to move it to the garage.

I dont think that should be too hard for you to achieve. Im not sure how reliable this is but i read from a guy on another forum that he made 343RWHP on a stock GT motor on 6 PSI with this kit. Also there is a guy on here said he made 480RWHP with a Trick flow H/C/I on 6 PSI. Havent seen him on much lately tho

Well that will be good if it does, I am going to turn the vert into my daily, as soon as I get it street legal I am going to give my 97 gt with 300,ooo miles a rest and do a mark8 2v with alot of juice for the track.

 

[94svtturbo]

wow 300,00 miles!! thats kinda impressive actually

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

Nice work.

Got some more work done today, permanently mounted the turbo, all the down pipe, crossover pipe, ran the oil feed line, drain line, IC piping from turbo and one piece of discharge side with the BOV. Cut the smog pump bracket and just left the alternator mount and mounted it finally, I think I should be able to start it up by the end of this month if not sooner, I cant wait to hear that turbo whistle and Fcam lope! Oh and by the way my turbo headers I split the flanges and use orange High temp silicone, was recommended by a race shop close from where I live. They use that method on their 1200HP turbo coupe.

kinda funny you saved it from a ricer to put a turbo in it but that will be one bad sob......
