This all looking pretty incredible, be careful when you stomp on the brakes tho, last thing we need is the earth going off tilt or something.

Hey Bernie,

Its getting close. Still waiting on the injectors, custom HE and BOV. I think motor will be running (assuming no issues) in 10 days and then dyno/tune time. I know they have been burning the midnight oil on the software/mapping etc...

Looking forward to meeting ya'll at the T/M. Also flying my son in from Arizona State so he can get a taste of this addiction

New Pics of ?????

My wife is always quick to point out the insanity of posting pics of an engine part. It really is a terminal illness.

Damn... I like to see that thread bumped on the top of the page... Especially when Soulsearcher is the last poster...

I have so much Questions burning my lips,like, for exemple the Intercooling setup you will use,because I don't see what can be done Over the VRP big intercoolers you had previously.

But I will remain quiet until the Project is Finished.

Soulsearcher,I suggest you to Change your username to "SoulFinder" when your project will be finished and running perfectly, because When you'll feel the 150 Mkg of torque in your back, You'll Know you will have find your soul.

Last thing,I swear in front of God One day I'll slap those "SoulSearcher Motorsport" Turbos on that engine :


I really Hope everything will run fine on your project. Thumbs up.

good choice with tial, it is great quality stuff. I might be a newb for asking, but what does the stock bov look like and where is it? Is there anyone that makes an aftermarket upgrade that doesn't require lots of custom work like you need for a greddy, tial, hks?

Fuel upgrade time? What spec injectors and is that an upgraded pump or filters in the packaging next to it?
