225 turbo headers
Bill & Charrlie, Thanks form the kind words. It has taken along time, the offical start of the turbo project was in 2006 when I got my ecu. Finally got the efi on in 2010 and now the turbo. I cant wait to get this combo working. Thanks again.
Tell me about it; I have a racing partner who does most of the work on the car because it's located at HIS shop (next-door to his house) and I am 35 miles away; my truck gets 18-mpg, so it's at least a $14.00 round trip, anytime I want to work on it. And, I'm on a "fixed" income... and, it's not fixed to well, believe me!:shock:
We got the carin 2009 (a junker, which had been abandoned in a field some 18 years ago) and it was a mess. Everything that moves (with the exception of the steering box) hade to be either been rebuilt or replaced. New windshield, interior (for the most part) and ALL the mechanical stuff...
Health issues have taken their toll on the time available for work, and lots of body work was necessary to make it somewhat presentable.
There are two FABO members who have motors that we bald-face copied beause they both seemed do-able for us, and both made a lot of power (somewhere around 500 HP, I think.) That would be Tom Wolfe and Ryan Peterson... we owe them for the "recipe" for this engine.
We have gotten the weight down to 2,680 pounds (without driver) with the original glass in it, but can only dream about a car as light as I'm sure yours must be. That car is awesome!
Please keep us apprised of your progress; that is an exciting project, for sure!!!
And, it's gorgeous!!!:cheers:
It looks like it's going about 200 mph, just sitting there!!!!
