Nick's 98gt Full Budget Built Turbo 2v

[98snakehorse]

Got my new intercooler setup welded up and installed this weekend. This layout is good for the Blow-thru maf setup which I am switching to. Turned out great!

Nice steps! I missed something here, what happened with the turbo?

Tried to get 2 short vids for you tonight when I drove it for a short ride. Hard to hold the phone in a decent t way and drive lol. Have a slow acceleration one and a pull about 3/4 throttle 25-70mph. Have to try and get a good drive by video.

Start up tune will be anytime now, I told my tuner to take his time as I wasnt in any hurry for the remainder of the season. I wont be taking it to get its official dyno tune until early spring as the final track night is tonight so no reason in getting the car out and about this year.

The really only thing I would like to get done this year is a wideband purchased and installed. Other than that Come early spring I will have new Drag wheels and tires, hood gets painted and off to the dyno it goes.

Very cool! I wanna get mine down the strip once this year. Rear is making a strange noise, may just let it rip and look into the rear this winter

Do it, its a blast. Yeah I have a rebuilt 8.8 but didnt know I would soon be throwing forced induction at the car and will be needing to update the rear to 31 spline axles. Next weak link will be the 10 spline input shaft on the trans. Def not in the budget though lol

Haha I hear that!

So ordered some back drag wheels this week. Gonna test fit them to make sure they are going to work before I get the fronts. I cant decide if I want 17" in the front or 15". Problem is 17" front runner are almost 3x the cost of 15"

New wheels. Looking forward to getting some rubber for them.

I think they are a new design / Knock off of Weld Aluma Stars, these ones are called Vision Sport Star 2's but I think Jegs makes their own version called Jegs SSR Star

 

[1bad95]

They def look cool! Gonna look good on there!

Got a new bypass valve for my vortech setup. This is the somewhat new vortech open race version they provide. Sounds like a damn fighter jet just at idle now lol. I love it

Here's a quick startup vid of the new open atmospheric setup. I am too excited to get this thing back on the dyno. Only like 5 to 6 months to go....
