I still need to have those 2 pipes in front that have green spots on them ceramic coated with a nice chrome look. Next photo I post will look much different, as i need to heat wrap the majority of the electronics in the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toysrme Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Since this particular thread has been updated? It's been: powder coated intercooler's been swapped along with new charger piping used 7m-ge 315cc injctors were swapped for rebuilt R/C 315cc injectors Walbro 190 was re-swapped for a Walbro 255. A few oil leaks cropped up (Not related to the turbo) & were fixed E-manage was finally instaled Some of the gauges were swapped out N2o kit was unmounted to bes old The complete interior was ripped out for a week, then replaced (The 315's are still on the block to be ditched in favor of 550's again) Currently, trying to sell the convertable DSM to buy a v8 BMW 5XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 What fuel is required now with the turbo? Regular or premium? Looks nice! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Lots of premium with 4-5* of ignition retarding (from base timing, or 2-3* from where sean use to have to run it with n2o anyway). I've been trying to talk him into getting an h2o kit for months so he can go back to regular! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan01 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Wasn't he supposed to take it to the track recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 So how much (ballpark figure now) was all the turbo upgrades? a couple grand total? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 He'll put one on yours for $2500 so. I'm guesing roughly $1500-2000. Na he hasn't been to the track yet. He's waiting for some goodies, and needs to swap his wastegate spring for something with more boost first. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
