Monjarassi: The Final Push, Quest for that Big Powa

[Ep808]

Whoa cuz, is the whip on da road killin it? Still waiting for da monsta numbas!! I can't wait to start my new engine build!!

[monjarassi]

No sadly the car has only been daily driven and lately only 2-3 times a week till I fix the clutch slip I had.

Twin disk is at home already just need to find the time to knock it out

[monjarassi]

After having the car down for nearly 2 weeks fighting a bug that had me to a breaking point, finally was able to crack that sucker and have her up and running once again. These cooling systems can make or break ya i tell ya!! Couple shots of joy!! (be back soon fellas)

So when are we finally going to see some numbers out of this bad boy?

[monjarassi]

Idk really in no rush , once the twin disk is installed and broken inn we will resume tuning

[monjarassi]

Time to get serious and do what i should have a long time ago, having the turbo open to the elements has been bothering me and since i had a close encounter recently i dont feel the necesity of taking any chances no more.
Went to my local PepBoys SpeedShop and scooped up some goodies to get-er-done.
(excuse my welding)

Purchased the following:
4in 90 degree coupler
4in short straight pipe
4in 45 degree elbow

Will have the straight and 45 elbow welded together and go purchase the final pc, air filter. Enjoy!

Well turbo intake is officially done, picked up a temp filter while the shorty K&N one arrives sometime next week.
Also added a autometer water temp gauge after really knowing how bad the oem one on the cluster sucks.

Thats Looks good monj... Dont be surprised if you feel like you lost a little haha... When I took off the filter I picked up another 15whp, thats how much the filter restricts the flow. In order to limit the loss you will have to run a big high flow air filter. I plan on running that metal mesh air filter since my ep is not my daily.

But back to the subject .... I LIKEY A LOT haha

[monjarassi]

thanks pal, i have a shorty k&n coming in nd shall be better with that i think,

I really dig the turbo intake i fabbed up doh
