I don't know if most of the people on here know who I am, or follow my threads so I will start with a little bit of background, then post a bunch of pics.
Last year around this time, the car was my daily driver, running low 10's on stock engine/head/ecu/maf, 35r kit I built, fp4r cams, 3" exhaust, e85 ect. Nice fun setup for sure. Mid summer I was racing the car at a event here in town, and the shaft on the 35r broke in half during a pass. Talk about a loud smokey mess!
I got a bad case of "while your in there" And decided to build a whole new turbo kit, port the head, and do drop ins, I bought a 6262, crower rods, and weisco1400hd pistons and got to work.
I got everything up and running, and it hammered a rod bearing out in about 40 miles. Not sure why really, but I guess **** happens and thats how you learn. I sold the 6262 setup to a good friend of mine and took a break from the car for a while before I set it on fire.
After a break, I pulled the engine and went back to work, the crank was ruined, so I picked up a manley crank, Crower (GREAT customer support btw!) recond all 4 rods and sent new bolts. I had a local engine builder do the machine work/assbly this time. Everything turned out great, and the ptw clearance worked out well after a fresh hone to resuse the std bore weiscos.
The setup is now, fresh shortblock, same ported head, fp5r cams, kiggly springs, map head studs, billet 6765. I plan to stay e85 and stock ecu. I am in the middle of building a new turbo kit for this one, foward facing this time. They are just to baller not to have one.
I had my man Ron Shearer send me one of his garret based 4.5" fmic. I added the mounting tabs where I needed. Thanks Ronny!
Sorry if this does not make alot of sense, I will just post alot of pics now.
*note* the turbo kit in some of the pics is a friend setup I was just borrowing to break in my engine.
Big style points for all that fabwork... real cool. You ran so well with your previous 35r setup I'm sure you'll go far with this new combo. Good luck.
How does the front bumper fit with the 4.5" core? Did you have to trim it at all? I was going to run a 4" thick IC so that I wouldn't have to hack up my bumper... lmk if the 4.5" fits
Nice work Fathouse! Always a please to see home brew fab work.

I made the mounts for it so I was able to put it where I needed, but ya its TIGHT!! Had to bend the power steering cooler lines a bit, and a little bit of trimming on the bumper to be able to put the screen back in.
