I've got more parts going in and out of my house than you, though :)

Subaru, vw, cadillac, jeep, toyota, etc...

Judging by the cam gears and the oil cooler is going to be a cool running but whiny bitch of a bug... ;o)

Nice.

Looks like a complete C.B.Performance T1 turbo kit. What are you going to use as a controller? I cant tell from the pictures.

I bet your wife has yet to see the invoice..

There is one thing you can improve fairly easy/reasonable on the kits plumbing(If you like ofcause), and it is the T piece between the throttle bodies. Have a Y shaped pipe made-up, perhaps locally? Improves the flow quite a bit.

I used to read the Turbomania book over and over in my younger days..As well as any other Turbo literature that is. Which was as close as I ever got. 8=[

Well, I guess, as close I got later in life was retrofitting supercharges on G.M. products.. Not quite as fun.

the hideaway header has an adjustible wastegate on the number 2 exhaust pipe. I think i'll be modifying it in the manner that Marty Staggs does, by putting the wastegate piped off of the collector....The EFI system is the new "easy tune" EFI.... the ecu is going to control the fuel duties as well as the ignition duties...

as far as the pressure pipe, that system gets good reviews from lots of folks...im building this engine as a street engine and will max out at or below 6500rpm's, so it will flow plenty...

the wife knows what it cost, and it wasn't bad...

Blow thru! We use it on the Hyper Bug, and the U.S.E car.

Damn that's pretty. I don't see any fins, is it water cooled or for drag racing only?

What cam heads, and compression ratio? Does the EFI ecu control have a boost sensor to retard the timing?

Drag racing It's for a 1641 cc engine. This one

cam will be K8.... the ecu does have the map sensor and will control the timing...the distributor will be locked out. compression will be around 8:1 and the heads are going to be a new head Pat Downs is testing right now...basically a little smaller version of their "ultra wedgeport" head. I'll be able to get a 70cc chamber in that head...

Any write-ups on that particular engine/tranny/combo/car?

Very impressive.

Will you assemble the engine yourself? If so do you plan to document the process?

Always interesting to follow a build-up.
