oh my, this should be epic test rides?

 

[smithabusa]

Test ride would be pretty expensive LOL, and with MI weather the first test ride will be several months from now

 

[kawiboy11]

[dadofthree]

[NINJA KILLER]

Can't wait to see the finished pics !

 

[Got-Busa?]

Nice...

I'm still on the fence about what to do with mine...

 

[smithabusa]

made some progress today, tossed the turbo and exhaust up there to see what it looks like, then got the motor out and head off

 

[lar300mag]

going to be a sweet build...

[GA_boi]

how many hp are you expecting to get out of this setup?

 

[smithabusa]

No intercooler so can't do much on pump gas maybe 260 ish, but thinking about e85 with larger injectors and 300 ish, leaving arm stock for a while that should keep the desire for mega hp low LOL

[GA_boi]

What would the intercooler do to help raise the hp #'s?

 

[smithabusa]

Intercooler would allow another 5 psi or so of pump gas boost

My 2000 I run 15-16 psi on pump gas

[smithabusa]

I should have stated an intercooler helps lower intake air temps allowing more boost on the same octane fuel before detonation occurs
