96356, A new turbo for me :)
Posted by eclipse982nrRST, Jul-21-06 02:54 PM
Althought I love my semi-new 60-1 Turbonetics turbo that I added over winter, I wanted to kick it up a notch with a nicer turbo, so I did. I just bought this beast about 2 hours ago from these people, and I should have it on in time for the S0 hopefully :)

Here is the link:

I also just purchased me some FAL fans from summit racing along with a new Fluidyne raditor.

God I love boost :)

Its not because I got the radiator for $212 because I had a buttload of Speed Points gift certificates, and a $100 credit from some old AGX struts I returned to them last spring. Then the fans were 25% off if you bought ANY radiator, so all in all, I got a super sweet deal, thats the only reason I bought them :)

Your sucha whore mike! When's it gonna be enough. I lok at what you keep buying and then I change my mind and want to buy something else. damn! Maybe I will do the cams and head now since my motor is out.

It's funny I was looking at that same ebay auction too when I had a bug to sell my current turbo.

Hey, gotta keep up with the v8's around here. Trying to accomplish the fastest daily driven 4 cyl motor in Northeast Ohio. I am tired of fucking around with this petty shit :)

I wish I had more time away from work to get my MSnS in before the SO cuz I am hitting the dyno 2 days before the SO :)

Yeah, and I have that bike you will never beat! Ha, ha. Love hurts. Anytime you wanna try it let me know, I hope you can get into the 9's though!

Hey, so I was looking at your feedback on ebay... note to self, don't buy something from cassi0 lol. It's always fun to see what people buy!

aww terry come on

SFMU FTW! :thumbsdown
I've seen a holset boosting 26psi on a neon dyno at 300whp even because all they had for fuel was an FMU. You could have switched to a megasquirt with 880cc injectors for 1/2 the cost of your new turbo and made an extra 160whp. not even joking.

Both of you obviously didnt read the whole thread :nono

I directly quoted above:

"I wish I had more time away from work to get my MSnS in before the SO cuz I am hitting the dyno 2 days before the SO"

See the MSnS part in there? :)

Ya man, thats cool, that would be tight. We could roll around with the camera and get some good footage maybe? I dont think I will ever stop with the modding. Once I think I am done, I'm not. There is a guy I work with, another tech, that has a 98 Camaro SS that I just helped build an amazing motor. He threw down 565 RWHP and 524RWTQ. I know I wont ever hit the 500hp mark, but that doesnt mean that I cant keep up. I am kind of nervous though because I had to put back in the OEM axles and I dont think they will hold my power very good. My Fidanza's were just throwing around too much grease, so I finally sent them back to them, and they are going to fix and rebuild them for free since they are under warranty.

Todd, PM me a couple of days before you fly out and I will give you my cell # so you can call me. I can always drive up there, its about 20 mins from me.
