It has begun....(TTL's build thread)

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

This should be fairly short people...I just decided to start a thread for the hell of it.

+Sunday I started ripping apart the motor that's in it and swapping over vacuum lines etc...Turbo wouldn't friggin come off. **no pics**

+Tuesday: Fuggin turbo came off with a bit of...forceful negotiation ala pry bar and rubber mallet. Found out it has virtually NO shaft play and spins freely. This surprised the hell out of me as the car doesn't run because it was starved of oil. ANYWAY, turbo is good--w00t. **no pics**

+Tomorrow: Dropping the fuel tank (my 255 should be here tomorrow, saturday, or monday) and pullin the harness off the motor to re-use with the new motor. Pictures will follow tomorrow.

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Man I think you're right Tea...btw your money never showed up
Kyle: Your shirt will get to you for x-mas you homo. :thefinger:

SySt: It's not really much of a "build-up" I guess. More of--hey Im putting a new motor in and a few extra goodies...then cleaning her up and claybarring her, then buffing her to a shine. Like I said--this one will be short. Next year (when I go all out on her) will be insane.

[JustAnotherVictim]

Those won't do you any good if they aren't installed. :icon_razz

 

[IJ.]

255rwhp

 

[Allan_MA70]

150-170rwkw

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

wtf rwkw--damn aussies. At least IJ used hp lol
I'm definately hoping for closer to 300, but we'll see what happens. Motor only has 60k on it, turbo has VERY little shaft play. **HOPING for 300rwhp**

 

[IJ.]

Multiply x 1.34 to convert KW to HP

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

Gotcha...OH C'MON ALLAN THAT WAS HARSH!! I think the N/A's make more power than that...
