all that with just a hint of sneaky will make for a fun ride… yes we are utilizing the stock air box :slight_smile: so from above there will be no way to tell its boosted. muhahahahaha

Finish this and get devin to put in his M112…that’d be quite the matchup

Where’s the play-doh sculptures?

Need’s moar pirateship!

:tup:

I had some bad financial issues, and had to sell the m112 and scrap it. If anything I’ll end up spraying next year with yet more weight reduction. And we’ll have some old fashioned sibling rivalry. :slight_smile:

Can wait to see it completed…and maybe go for a ride too.

good luck, pressure test those intercooler pipes to check for leaks. DO NOT rely on sound of hissing air to tell you where the leaks are check with a spray bottle filled with soapy water.

good looking setup, i like the intake manifold, did u build that or buy it?

:tup: to manual labor

Very cool Alex, can’t wait to see it done and see it rip. And thats looks like a pretty hefty turbo :slight_smile:

Jesus hurry up already.

I call Offical Camera Man. :slight_smile:

but you don’t have a video camera do you?

actually the funniest part of this to me is that the first person to get the honor to floor this beast is going to be mike at innovative, i’m sure as hell not going to take a chance on a basemap.

we got all of the engine to turbo exhaust pipes done today with the exeption of 1 set of 2" flanges we need to make. the “down pipe” (its more sideways than down) is complete and behind the transmission. the turbo to intercooler is complete. inter cooler to TB is complete up to teh fender and this is because i’m waiting on my tiny maf to come in form a gentalman out west. the filter side of the turbo has not been started yet but it should only take 5-7 hours I think.

still need to swap oil pans with the modified one for the oil drain. and need to complete cooling lines.

oil lines 3 hours
cooling lines 2 hours.
intake install 25 min

we decided to take a break and check for fuel leaks and aparently there is some sort of electrical problem my interior is not getting enough power to power everything up nor is the FP getting enough power. we hooked up the pump directly to teh battery and the pump is good. so I will install the intake tomorrow and see if i’m forgetting something. and yes i grounded the main ground that goes to the back of the intake.

hopefully i can fire this thing up on sunday!!!

oh the the offical project name is MAD SANTA

So you found a matching red SHO again? Or are you making me paint mine primer red?

:tup:

no fool MAD SANTA jim came out bitching up a storm and nick looks to me and says the project name is mad santa it fits on a plate

i started bitching at him the other day, he came out screaming that running from the house, to the machine shop, to the bank, to my house, to inn-tune, to napa on wherle and gthen back to the house COULD NOT have taken 2 hours

apparently it only takes 5 minutes for Ferry to build all the lines needed for a turbo kit, and that includes cashing you out too :bloated:

he looked at me and said “thats fucking bullshit” … which seriously pissed me off because we didnt waste time and we DIDNT stop anyplace else … being called a liar by a man that looks like santa REALY fucking pisses me off

i was so pissed of that i was screaming at him louder then he was at us, add in a TON of adrenalin, and im borderline on showing just funny i think it is when assholes wind up with headwounds

:slight_smile:

Couldn’t blame you I almost wanted to take a 4 foot section of angle iron was working on through his head once. I never in my life have ever wanted to kill someone. I’m so glad I moved away from there.

there is no maybe about it sir. that pic is your sig will soon be replaced by a SHO doing the same thing i think :slight_smile:

wait, you thought about doing something that didnt involve somehow using jb weld ? lol

That came after. :tup:

time to update the sig Alex :slight_smile:
can’t wait to see it.

whoa that looks crazy :tup:

so who IS mad santa?
