Instead of owning up he allows people as ignorant as you to come to their own conclusion. Then he tries to pick the car up without paying, by using some one else's credit card, by saying he paid when he only paid a small fraction using an online form. Then he got turned away because he signed a legal contract. Then he shows up here again ready to point the finger but as he starts, he soon realizes the very reason is most likely at fault for a current issue he thinks he just found is someone that works for the company he represents. And meanwhile you are to stupid to figure anything out because you don't even have a clue because you just purchase second hand builds, so you turn to personal attacks which yet shows your character. You are truly a class act and your parents should be very proud at how you have turned out.
I am just going to post once responding to you Marcus. I have tried not to bring all the past into my new build thread but you seem to be on some mission to make sure that everyone hates me or something. I am not sure what that is about but oh well. I am only going to respond to your comments once because there is no point going back and forth. And this thread was something I started about the new build thread of my car.

1) I did not run out of money on the build. I am spending on it now.
2) I wasnt trying to use some strangers credit card. It was my wife's card.
3) I then used the online form to pay all the rest of the invoices I had received before hand. I was unaware that new ones were printed out that morning.
4) Not sure why you are mad about the situation with my car. I paid the shop $12,000 total and took my car back. They were able to resell the turbo kit to someone else and had my car for 10 months to develop the kit.
5) The point of the spark plug was just posting up what was found. I know exactly what the spark plug means. Someone made the statement that the car was complete and ready to take home. Well no it wasnt. There was a "spark issue" that was trying to be figured out for two weeks before I received a call saying I could pick the car up and bring it back to my shop to chase down the issue. Thats why I posted the pic. Because someone else made that statement.
6) A lot of times when remote tuning the tuner isnt the one monitoring the Live Data. It is the person running the dyno.

The point of this thread was for my new build. Not to go over what had happened before. Did I save all text and emails from the whole dealing over the last year, yes I did. But I am not getting into all that on an open forum. So please if you have more personal attacks against me leave it for another thread. Everyone on the forum is aware of how you feel about me.

I feel bad for sticking up for emoving in the past when he got put on suspension here for being an *******. Damn man, you really are a douche, I must have been blinded for being on your side..... SMH. And you can lash out at me now too, I won't be responding, but you will still be what you are. Congrats.

Good luck with your cars TTE55 and Redbulljnky. There are a lot of people out there that aren't typing that are watching and others that aren't aware at the moment that will be just as excited as they see videos or come across a finished product thread somewhere on the internet of twin turbo E55s out on the streets. I have no interest in doing it to mine, mine is what it is, a nice daily driver and sometimes fun take it to the track car which still surprises people. Just went Wednesday in fact and ran 12.08 on my 20s and had fun doing it.

But Redbull one of these days we will cross paths when I am in my V and it should be fun. I expect some 140+ traps next time I hit the track, well until they kick me out. Currently runs mid 130s all day any day on good ole 93 octane and at over 4400lbs and about to have another 200whp.

I'd be real worried about uneven pressure across the cylinders if you're looking to push some serious PSI....

We will see how it does on testing when we get there. If needed another set will be made. I am looking to push around 24psi.

Well the car is pretty much in pieces now. More of it on the shelf than on the car LOL!

Got a little special delivery today



In the next 2 days I will be throwing a spare motor back in for some mock up and test fitting.

Here are all the factory brake lines lol. I am running all new for the entire car so that I can route them how and were I want them.


The Lambo orange calipers are going. I am changing the color. Going with a different color that I will use throughout the car. I am selling these like they are to buy a set to have powder coated. Or I am open to a trade for another set plus cash for these.


Several things I am not going factory on and should be here soon:
Radiator
Radiator Fans
Transmission Cooler
Powersteering Cooler
Oil Cooler

I hope to have more updates in the next few days.

I am curious why you say this because there are tons of cars on all different platforms (different types and size engines) that use a log manifold and run a lot of boost. Hell, I was running 30psi on my turbo Audi I use to have with a log manifold for years before I then switched to another manifold.

Oh it's been done on a ton of platforms for a long time but every high HP car I've seen where money isn't an issue(logs are significantly cheaper than equal length) has ran equal length manis. It really depends on the size of the turbo and the PSI you want to push. 30psi on a gt25 won't be as much of a issue on a log vs 30psi on a gt40.

The more resistance on the exhaust gas the more noticeable the pressure differences between each cylinder will be. Too much difference between them and you'll have some motor issues eventually.

The holes prevent compressor surge .. otherwise you may run into this: http://www.streetfire.net/video/true-turbo-compressor_163406.htm

Just because it works does not mean it's efficient. Log manifolds usually have abnormal flow restrictions and hotspotting. Spool time will be severely effected, the larger the turbo the worse the condition. I'm for log manifolds on budget builds for something to just fart around in (I've built several myself), but when starting from scratch on something worthy of a $1500+ turbo... I would not even consider a log manifold.

The holes were initially for racers to cheat the rules of certain drag classes. The rules for example might limit turbo size to a 76mm inlet but the inlet would be be measured across the throat of the compressor inlet. The holes could then allow more air to be drawn in.

Your worst nightmare...
Congrats on your build. A little word of encouragement, what ever you do make sure you trace your steps in your build, I am sure once done it will be a bad *** car! Focus on turning key with the set up first prior since that's the true challenge.

Once done it will be something special and unique. Just know the sleepless nights, time you spent away from family and friends, money spent, and blood and broken skin will all be worth it. Been there done that. Some will call it a POS and others who are true enthusiasts will see the value and know it's something truly unique and special. Congrats and stay positive!

This guy knows. They do help surge also but it was a way to "cheat" back in he day.

I appreciate the kind words! It is a lot of time, money, blood sweat and tears. Almost took off the tip of my thumb with the band saw last week lol. I pulled my finger back after it went half way through the tip.

I have been tagging everything that has been taken apart, wiring, and hoses. I also take notes on everything as it comes out because sometimes it is easy to forget about something small when going back together.
I know you have been through it all with that crazy E55 V12 conversion. So what are your plans for the CL65 you picked up?

Yes, also make sure you find a tech that knows developer mode and STAR, it will come handy. Something I also did was take a lot of screenshots and pictures of different processes in the build in case I have to go back to it.

Plans for the 65 are to just drive it for now. I do have the itch to mod it but not yet. Modding it will mean engine down, etc... not sure I am ready for that.
