400whp Msp Build UP
- Thread starter Fast lane
- Start date
Right now im in the process of getting a few sponsors, and dont want to make any purchases, plus, im getting a new maifold/down pipe made by, nick in the spring, then i will up boost, and the tranny im still trying to get help from mazdaspped on some emco gears.
Well as of right now the engine and turbo setup is the same ..ive just been adding some show stuff that ive been givin/partially paid for by my sponsors, sparco seats and harnesse, jic coil overs, volk rims, gtspec parts, and a few other items..i need to get some things done for the sema show in april, but i will be putting a new manifold and downpipe on the car and possibly a bigger turbo over the summer..

my engine is being rebuilt right now ... not sure exactly what went wrong after the 1st rebuild, but according to the guy who built it; the ones that put the engine in the car messed up something regarding coolant so the engine overheated on 1st try (2 different shops). so now i'm dealing with him directly. he's been REALLY cool so far, not charging me labour for most of the stuff so i'm happy. i'll keep the stock turbo till the end of the summer or until i can safely afford a gt28rs or maybe send my stock one to Nick to have it modified? not sure yet. so now i have good tires + D/R, hopefully a good engine, i'm waiting on Beau's tubular manifold ... dreaming of 12s on stock turbo
but as long as i hit low 13s i'll be happy ... anything but that crappy 14.2 that's in the 1/4 mile list lol .... if only the engine hadnt ****** up a 2nd time lolJohn told me this week that he received a $10k chrome sponsorship, so his car probably won't be ready for a while. but i think that engine-wise everything is doing ok. I'm not sure what stopped him from getting over 325whp on the dyno last year but i know he started making a new intake pipe with 80mm MAF at the end of last year... so that's 1 change. I havent seen his car nor him in a while so i'm not sure of what he's doing to it. i should know more this week or next week.
so that's pretty much it so far .... we should have more news by the end of april once winter's gone and cars come out of storage ... stupid snow (evil)

Not bashing, but I am still a little confused.
Weren't you planning on close to 400 whp WITH THE SAME SETUP that you have right now? You are 100 hp short at a decently high PSI.
Are you running a GT25/40 or a GT28 w. a T04 50 trim compressor wheel?
(Also, post a pic of some of your GT spec stuff installed.)

i'm not sure, he just told me the other day when i asked him if his car was gona be ready for april. from a pic of his sig i saw yesterday, i think it's called Auto Chrome ..... and that's $10k CDN
he put SO MUCH money into his car for both performance and looks that i think it was about time he gets a bit of help hehe
i can't imagine what 10k worth of chrome looks like on a car lol
