really sweet fab.

Nice work!!!!

 

[Squid4life]

Looks good, nice work brother! How much boost are you up to on it so far? Any idea what HP level or ET level you are shooting for? did you girdle the bottom end or do billet caps/studs?

 

[87natl]

Beyond the desire to perhaps just be different, what was the reasoning for going with twins? I am assuming you are trying to hit a higher HP number without having to go too high on the stall speed? I'm real curious to see how well this is going to work out for you numbers wise, as you can only push that stock block so far . Props for the effort!

 

[Fatpig]

not sure on numbers was hoping to hit around 700-750 rwhp. @ around 20 to 22 psi.. IF the car hits low 10's or maybe tickle the 9's im happy.. Of course at the track i will run a lot more boost(depending on my tuning abilities) The motor itself is girdled and was built by Tony from esp. All of the other fab work i did in my shop less the headers. Ran out of good weather before i put it away so it only has a base tune on it with about 4 psi of boost. We will see how it turns out as i start to drive it... Still gotta do sanding and finish putting interior back togethor. Couple of weeks of work left still. It will take me a while to tune it- gonna take my time cause if i blow it up it will be a big waste of money. As if this hasnt cost me enough already. But it certainly was fun to build. I forgot to mention the body in the original picture was junk had to find a new one. that took a while

That TT setup is sweet!! Who did the headers?

 

[TurboGN86]

very nice set up. finally a twin set up that looks good.

 

[Fatpig]

Tony from esp did them... kinda where the good deal comes into play. I use to do there web work for them. headers and turbo's were my payment.

 

[Royal-T-Ltd]

really nice setup.... looks great.... cant wait to see some numbers

 

[G NASTY]

That is the nicest TT setup I have ever seen. This looks different then the setup they sell. Do they sell this setup?

 

[Fatpig]

you would have to call them.. we will see how the numbers turn out when i tune it. did a lil sanding to see how it turned out. pictures will follow

 

[Fatpig]

I love using facebook to host photos.. hehe im lazy as hell

 

[87natl]

Well, she's gonna be a head turner at the monthy get-togethers for sure...for multiple reasons. Keep us updated as you finish this project and start pushing that setup. Great work!

 

[G NASTY]

Does ESP have a website anymore?

 

[Fatpig]

not at the moment... I will definitely keep everyone posted as i finish the project.. I think i am just as curious about the numbers as you guys... Im gonna order the last few things i need in a couple of weeks scanmaster, badging and some little loose ends.
