you must be very anxious!!!!! good luck

yeah i am very anxious....

a little update i sold the ATP 3071R and will be going with a T3 GT3076R .82 AR V-Band turbo...
not too many people with speeds running a T3 Setup.... 400+HP here i come...
here is a little teaser for me and for you guys of the turbo...i haven't got it in the mail yet...but it's gonna be like a mini x-mas...this turbo is going to set me back a couple of months though...prolly until october til she runs

wow, i cant wait til this thing is done man.. its going to be crazyy. awesome turbo

quick question, are you going to key your crank?

shouldn't need to key it....not running like 500HP+...should be good

i was told they can start to slip from 400 and up? i may be wrong.. but i mean the damage it can do if it slips, and its cheap to do?..somthing to think about at least

with the motor out and kits being cheap, there's no way i wouldn't pin it.

send me with a link that makes one for my car? as of now i am not aware of one made for my car....

this is the only thing made for my car.... by PT-Performance http://www.pt-performance.com/showProduct.php?vID=3&cID=4&pID=229&sID=c8t65d05dhent6auem4a5hiq74

Any machine shop can add a keylock for you.

the motor is just sitting at the machine shop i will look into it

ya It would be well worth it

Damn sorry to see that hole in your block. A lot of Evo 10s end up with those when pushing E85. Good luck on the build.

thank you should be making my purchase for forged internals real soon

THE BUILD IS DONE! WHAT A FUCKING BEAST!




then i woke up




and still see no motor in the car!

teaser shots GT4082 T4 Twinscroll/3 3/4" Vband
and yes that is a 32 ounce Big Buddy

So your goal is traction by the middle of fifth?

actually man it won't be too bad...i won't hit full boost til 4.5K+
so it will have less TQ downlow and allow a little more time for my tires to hook up...i will be running some decent rubber with this....
still got that CPE exhaust for sale? how much to a fellow mazdaspeeder?

also for the price i couldn't go wrong...i got it for $400 it's brand new and retails for $900 easily...so i got it a really good deal on it...vs all the other turbos that i was (gt3071r, gt3076r) going to throw on that were used and cost $800+ used..

Lol, nice. I wanna see this finished.

Some guy is supposed to be coming to look at it this weekend but I haven't heard from him yet.

These are the prices, pretty fair I think.

CPE Catback Exhaust - $450
TurboXS Downpipe - $200
TurboXS Racepipe - $75
Protege Garage Turbo Inlet Pipe - $60
TurboXS Intake - $150

Let me know if you want them, and I'll let you know if that douche flakes out.

So this video you posted awhile back makes me lol. Considering i drove it for a few months this winter while my car was broke, i am a friend of the owner. This is no GST it is a 99 gs. Im not sure where u got ur mods list but all thats done to it is as follows
motor rebuilt to stock
jet performance computer that has a very bad tune and runs like shit
injen fmic pipes
ebay fmic core
ebay .50 trim turbo and manifold
tial wastegate that was falling off at the time of this video
blitz bov which is stuck shut
it runs maybe 7 psi and like 60psi of fuel pressure on stock injectors
not making fun of u just kinda curious on what steve told u about the car.
Since the time of me driving it this winter i let him know the car was a complete pile of shit and would need thousands to get it ever running close to right.

Heres a few pics from last year when i was driving it, i do not miss having to rely on this car to get me to work

I spy a 3000GT with RT/TT wheels on it.

Yup yup, its my friend TJ's car. 3000gt SL with a VR4 swap and 16g turbo ugrade. It is however sadly fwd and auto
