Turbo build .. the journey continues
Hows it going peeps,
Well I thought I would go ahead and start a thread to help keep me on track with my current build. I am currently deployed in Afcrackistan so the process will be a little slow till I get home in 4 months ( man the days cant go by fast enough), so bear with me. I have a buddy of mine who is going to store my parts for me and help me out with little things that I might need done before I get home (thanks D). I will have him send pics of the parts I get to help with the documentation. When I get home I will try and get a more pics of the step by step process to help anyone who might have questions or someone who is doing a similar build. I plan on taking my time and doing it right this time as I have a little history with Boo I finally know how I want her and how I want her to run.
A little history about Boo, I purchased her in December of 2003 and once I installed a CAI I was hooked and its been all down hill from there. Some of the setups I have had include .... full bolt on a3 w/ skunk2 stg1 cams, k20/k24 frank swap, k20/k24 frank boosted (melted a piston), a3 turbo (254whp on 91), k24a1 boosted (320whp), k24a1 w/vtec killer (220whp), k24a1 w/vtec killer boosted (407whp on 100oct).
On my last set up the rings were starting to go, so after that 407whp pull she started having major blow by. I took to the track anyways since it was going to be my last time before I left so if she let go o well haha. she ended up running a 12.7 while loosing boost (she held 19psi on the dyno, at the track she was only getting up to 14psi). So now after throwing so many set-ups around I finally have it down haha. So here we are, below I have my parts list and I some pics of how she sits till I get home. Enjoy and I look forward to starting this new set-up :mcool:
