Sneak Peek~whats brewin' in Pirana's garage

[tekkie]

looks very nice, but it looks like your missing a turbo lol

do you have a built motor also?

 

[terbow]

looks good pirana. i like how everyones sweating the chrome valve cover caps.

 

[tekkie]

those things look pimp for sure

 

[daedalus]

You got a PWR radiator too??? BASTARD. Hold on... i'm having trouble keeping up dude... its hard buying parts when you've been unemployed for the last 5 months!!!

 

[terbow]

its hard when ur employed too, ur not alone.. i have just as many parts as u two and its hard for me with decent pay. that and i dont clean my car so i never show it.

 

[Pirana]

hehehe, thats why I have to do all the installs myself....anyway daed, you have the totally built motor. Thats huge!

Like Daed, I'am going to use the factory turbo until I cant get anymore out of it. All I really want is about 285whp....that should be enough to kick some stock STis asses.

 

[tekkie]

on stock internals? sorry man I dont recall there are so many people doing crazy cars its impossible to keep up now

 

[terbow]

is that turbo even good for 285whp? i mean at some point your just going ot blowing heat, and still no top end

 

[daedalus]

I'm with you pirahna... i'm gonna hold off on upping the turbo size this summer beccause (1) i dont need the extra power, and (2), i am very confident that i'll be able to hit at least 300 hp / 300 ft/tq on the stock turbo on a dynojet pushing around 14psi which is still within the effeciency range of the turbo.

 

[terbow]

id love to see that. i dont mean that sarcastically. cause thats quite a feat on such a small turbo @ 14.psi

 

[tekkie]

we will see next weekend hopefully

254whp @ 10psi, we will see what 14-15 does

 

[terbow]

i hate all of you and your horsepowers.

 

[Pirana]

I know sometimes we wish for a lot, but now that all the pieces are together, I think I will go ahead and give it a try. One thing, having the big Perrin gives me a little more playing room, you should see the difference between the in and out tanks, its just incredible. Any way the car scares potential racers just by its looks, so I'am half way there, hehehe. The best races are the ones you dont even have to start the car (ricer)

When discreetspeed was with his stock turbo/internals, he dyno'd 274whp at 14-15psi with an AFC Controller........and it wasn't a very good tune. So 300whp is within reach

 

[terbow]

awesome. cant wait to see the results.

i cant wait to get my block.

 

[JDM Sam]

Vic's cars all rock. That's all I can say.

I know, there are plenty of awesome bananas running around...hehehe

Here is a semi-finished pic...the temp sensor wire needs to be loomed and the ricer air filter has been removed in favor of a new AEM filter provided by www.*************.com (wiggle) The fans are missing, they are on the way as are the Samco radiator and vacuum hoses. Also noticed that all the wires on the water neck were re-routed like L8Rs (thanks for the idea).
