Blouch Big 16G

Came in today, my brother and I will maybe install this weekend. Good enough for 400-450hp, depending upon the tune :)

MIA...

It's almost been a year since I've last updated this thing, but here we are again :P The car is now going to be tuned by both, my brother and I, to get things rolling...

Cost of Cosworth worth the price?

Decided to stop by the shop today to check in on my car. The head is off the stock block, and is currently at the shop getting worked on. Meanwhile, the Cosworth block was put in. As you can see in the pictures, it looks pretty damn dirty and dusty. It sat in an open crate in the corner of a garage for a while before I decided to pick it up :P Anyways, the car will be running at 2.2L. Yes, 2.2L... if you don't know, the retail shortblock that Cosworth sells is a 2.5L, that retails for about $4.9k to 5.4k. This is a custom FULLY built 2.2L shortblock, that I'm now allowed (thx Gruppe-S) to say, I purchased for $2.9k, NEW. The head is being cleaned and re-machined for a newlike performance so that it runs like silk when matched up with the new Cosworth block. I still havn't decided on the turbo setup yet.

And.... is the "Cost of Cosworth worth the pirce?"..... Yes.

Pics from my iPhone again...

The car was still at the shop, and I did'nt wanna go home empty handed, while Baboy was still asking me about "last night", hmmmmmmmmmmm
Sooooo I decided to pick up the Starship Troopers trilogy and SuperBad on Blu-Ray...

Bye bye Best Buy... baboy still ignoring my texts lol...
not a bad Saturday :)

More umph!

A little over 2 weeks ago, I took the car, and crated block to the shop to give my car a little extra "umph". Replacing the stock 2.0 motor with a bored out Cosworth built 2.2 block. Still under the knife in the machine shop, it should be done within a week or two. The new block will be complimented some time in the future with a 450-550hp rated turbo; type/model still to be determined. Currently running stock JDM (non twin scroll), divorced wastegated turbo. Anyways, got it from gruppe-s for a great price...

vroom vroom...

The Other Side of the Rainbow....

Headed over out to Temecula yesterday to kill some time, eat some BBQ, and have some beers. Not to mention to check out "Liquids Garage", and his little project he has goin on. Pretty chill day, we talked about cars, future plans for cars, food, and what the hell there is to do in Temecula besides going to P-TOWN... which isnt much at all! Anyways, pics taken with my iPhone...... Thx for letting us watch part of the bootleg version of Step Brothers, Jae ^__^

Painted and installed. A good 4-5 days of work of priming and painting and 2-3 days of drilling/fitting; on and off ofcourse...

Fitting and Drilling

All I have to say is; This cage is a son of a BITCH to install. This thing comes with almost no holes at all, everything needs to be fitted and drilled. Anyways, work, work, work....

Drilling through the floor....

Mid/Rear section fitted

Working through the night...
