Ha! I was actually thinking about the dirty floor tonight as I looked at the pictures lol.

Awesome progress Scott and Joby! Looking great!

Some goodies from cjm showed up.

I need to upgrade my fuel system. Problem is it’ll want me to switch to corn and push for more power. I can’t get the power I have to the ground so what’s the point for more.

My whole plan is to be ~500. Like you said, if you just spin the tires, whats the point of having the power. We have 93 here so I just plan on running that unless I want to get crazy in a few years and make the switch to corn. That be a ways down the road when I will want to up the boost for fun or to make the car a bit different and not get bored with it.

Madwi's picture dump and crap
 

Good plan. Houston has good 93 so no issues with gas quality. Trust me 500whp and what’ll be 400-430wtq is enough to play with. Four years in and it still puts a smile on my face everytime the turbo spools up out of the driveway.

I am pretty excited. Can't wait until the car has some power to match its looks.
Something I need to look into is a HPDE and some track time to get my driving level up. Learning the car all over is going to be a big priority.

:iagree:

This thread is gonna get jumping soon :tup:

No pictures of the popsicle?

:rofl2:
Have picture of popsicle peeing on EW Z. :eek:

What is the octane rating of yellow snow?

Depends on the alcohol content!:roflpuke2:

Filled coolant and oil. This was a pretty nerve wracking moment. I actually had to go through the suspense a couple times as I didnt set the clutch pedal sensor correctly. :rolleyes: Had two small leaks after running the car for a bit. Buttoned those up and it seems to be good for now.

A few more random pics.

I gotta say thanks to everyone who helped with this build. Lots of stupid questions and doubt along the way from me :icon17:
Special thanks to JcHammond. I would have never tackled the transmission and fuel system work without him. In the process I learned a ton of information about the car and processes from JC. Thanks my duuude. :rock:

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

you're welcome duuude. even though my help was very minimal.

Good work guys! :tup:

Hey man, you brought lunch and beverages a few times. :tup: Gonna start wiring up gauges if you want to get your hands dirty.

Ordered a Defi boost gauge (red).

Glad I was able to assist :tiphat: I learned a lot as well.

You are being very humble. You installed everything while I watched. :icon17:

I am truly impressed...great work guys!

Dang that is very sick!

Installed “Everything” while you watched!???:leghump:

Nice build Madwi! :tup:

Its not always glorious but someone has to control the zoom in/out button.

Don’t be fooled; he did a lot as well,,,including running to the store for food/beverages & provided some quality tools to work with...certain jobs definitely required 2-people & was great to work with :tup: There were times that I had questions & he would get answers :ugh2: the computer “Geek” part...including uploading ECUTek programming & Datalogging :icon14::icon14:

Its true. I am great at supervising. :icon17:

I am much more confident with the tech/wiring side of things and didnt want to get in the way, too many cooks in the kitchen, if you will. If I had to do this all over again, I think I could do it by myself sans the transmission/clutch/flywheel items. The turbo kit turned out to be very simple, Its just a small jigsaw puzzle with pipes. The fuel pump/basket stuff was sketchy as hell and I'd rather not get into it again if I don't have to :icon17:

ideally I'd like to make one trip up (along with my new mirror) to knock it all out in one shot...:icon14::icon14::icon14:

i cant wait to take that sumbitch for a ride :rock::rock::rock::rock:

They are stupid fast. Mine still scares the **** of me when it’s colder than 50*.

Yeaaaaaaa............I had that feeling about you..........................:rofl2:

The wait until spring is going to suck.

Ran the wires and sensors for boost and afr gauges today with help from EW. I ordered a t fitting for the vacuum hoses to be spliced in and that should complete everything for the gauges.

WTF am I looking at? :rofl2:

just mounted the crap for the defi boost gauge to where the old fuel regulator was.
