just idled for about 10 minutes and checked for leaks etc.. Now finishing the IC install and make a tailpipe for the Waste gate

gonna see some flames?

instead of putting the bumper rubber back on, fab of an outlet right there with some S.S. surrounding it....be a neat little surprise for anyone attempting to rub ya out.

Nice Caliper color Ben:)

I don't know, Denny. Ben's car is getting a little flashy with orange, blue and green hoses. Now I know why he went machine grey on the pc or we'd just nickname him Bling.

Seriously, I first thought the engine might be too industrial on the stand, but offset with the black coupe it looks spectacular. I couldn't show as much restraint and I'm having Jerry do mine in "smoke chrome". Hey guys don't like my 18's either so there you have it :D The only things chrome on the car are the horn grills, door handles and window trim though.

lol...whats wrong with chrome...or blinging? if you are fast there is nothing wrong with looking it....the problem arises when you are not...somehow i have the impression that ben's car will pull ...

Think souped up bug sleeper(I hate that term) but really sleeper is the my thing

Ben,
Any updates? Are you on the road again?

Doug

Doug,

We're in the midwest..its like 10 degrees over here. I know you south CA guys forget we have real winters :D

Not yet but I am finishing some stuff up right now. I had to get side tracked with my daily driver (ford expedition) it keeps spitting the rocker out from underneath the cam so I have been messing with that over the past week:(

Ben, how long before we have the ability to buy the complete low boost 'kit' from you? About how much should I expect to spend?

Yes, the weather here has been crappy, typical for Wisconsin in the winter. Wouldn't be so bad but for the incredible amount of salt they dump on the roads... Where are the green weenies when you really need 'em???

Sorry if I missed this info earlier...

Thanks.

Eric

Luke,
Yes, I forgot!! It rained here one day over the weekend, if that is any consolation. Norcal has been getting blasted, but we only got one day of rain. Chilly is below 50 here at night and below 60 during the day. Not rubbing it in, but it is reality.

Good luck Ben!

I too forget that nobody drives Hondas or Toyotas in the midwest, so their daily drivers have trouble. I'm always amazed at the lack of foreign cars when I visit my Grandmother in Northern Michigan. (outside of Grand Rapids).

Doug

great work Ben, got any pics of the sump plate on its own showing the welded on tube?

thanks

Re: my 3.2 ss/twin plug/turbo motor
 

How much did it cost for the rod rebuild?

180 bucks from supertec..

as to the sump plate I don't think I have anypictures but I will look

180 for all 6? How is the quality? Gain any hp?

yup all six.. as for hp gain no it really was to rebush them and then balance them..along with shot peen them

1st drive in it today.. It goes thats all I can say. boost comes one at very low RPMs. I am trying to stay off of it as much as possible before its broken in..

She looks great, however, I doubt you'll keep her that clean with all the snow melting. Congratulations. How's she running?
