Yeah, give me a shout. I'll have mine completely done if a couple days, so I could bring it by the shop if you want to check it out and maybe test fit it.

[viperlp01]

Ya dude that would be boss. My driveshaft is out. No e brake. Should be easy to test fit.

Cool, I just wanted to make sure you knew there was a spec on it if you didn't already so that anyheadaches down the road could be averted now

I can't wait tosee some results, and although dyno videos are cool, i'm REALLY looking forward to seeing a launch and or at least a 1-2 pull with the tires roasting

nice what made you go with two 60mm wastegates instead of one 60mm and one 44mm?

[KHRacing]

Awsome build man, thanxs for sharing. i did not even know the the Eclipse came with Automatic gearbox.

regards kristian

[viperlp01]

I got a deal on them that I couldn't resist. I might sell one and get a 44mm for space. I hope this engine will hold it. Simple Eagle/Manley setup. I might build an engine on the side. The torque is what I am worried about.

[viperlp01]

Messed with my wastegate tonight. I used Paul's old spaghetti trick but I used some extra filler rod instead. Here is some pics

On my jig


The long process of stacking the rod










Plasma cut


cleaned up alittle



I have to get Argon tomorrow. I ran out today on this Subaru stuff. So I will work on it tomorrow.

[viperlp01]

Welding place was closed so I made the best of the weekend. My brother is starting to get into powder coating so I gave him one of my compressor covers, a camera, told him Red and he came out with this.













Then I decided to dig into my harness. I had a ton of connectors that I no longer use and it was a mess.

[viperlp01]

Got the hot parts finished up to both turbos. Ordered my stuff for the exhaust. Here is a simple pic from this morning.

Looks Great!!!!

Makes me think of going with one 60mm gate instead of two 44mm's on my secondary????

[95GSXracer]

Looks good!

[fosforito95]

thats awesome i want to see more pics of this

[danielsl1999gsx]

Insane!! Please do a in car audio spool up for all to hear. Hearing one holset is good enough, but two back to back! Music to my ears.

[viperlp01]

The 60mms are VERY hard to fit. I hopefully will be able to close my hood. I have to cut into the bottom of the hood to try to fit the 2nd Tial. I will have more updates this weekend.

We do have 1 60mm Tial for sale pm us if needed.

[FLASH1970]

That looks really sweet!!

[viperlp01]

Damn photobucket... Ill get that fixed lol..

Time to upgrade to Pro. I had to do the same thing when I was trying to sell my compound setup.

[viperlp01]

Well started on the 3.5" exhaust. I was happy with how much room I had. Hopefully will have the cross pipe figured out by tomorrow night.

I am also pretty sure I have to remake the front. I made that a while ago and only had a flux core welder back then(wow now that I think about it). It would be much easier to mount my FMIC, rad, and trans cooler.

[fosforito95]

in the second pic its hard to see but where is the second wastegate mounted to? the one that seems like your going to connect to your down pipe?

[viperlp01]

Its mounted on the cross pipe. It is kind of hard to see but a little further down on the pipe.

[viperlp01]

Well changing some things up. I decided to go with ECMlink this summer. The engine management I personally think is sufficient to get me into the 9s and I would hate to waste my summer trying to tune a compound speed density setup on AEM EMS. When I get my dyno I might throw it in to work on getting use to it. The guys at
I also decided to ditch my old SSAC intercooler for a treadstone vertical flow intercooler. It will be low enough to run my cross pipe on top of it and it is a Fing boss intercooler. I am working on the cold cross pipe as we speak and should have a pic added by the end of the night.
I got my two trans coolers in along with a fan for the bigger one. I am changing the mounting of my radiator. Also ordering my sinister speed TC up real soon. Just kind of roaming in the sinister thread trying to get as much info as I can before I order it.

[Technoklipz]

Very nice setup. The powdercoating looks very good and top quality.

[Purple_Demon]

Might need to get some photoshop programs running, your talon has a bad case or red eye XD


BTW tell you brother that is some damn good powder coating if he is just getting into it.

Love the build, keep it coming!

[viperlp01]

Ya thanks guys. My brother loves powder coating. We just bought a shed so he will have more room for his stuff and he can make a bigger oven(No room in the shop.)

Well here is some pics of the weekend.

[okcpopeman]

Hard to tell if you did or not from the pics, but you need to add some really good support for the "volvo" turbo or that pie cut pipe will crack in no time (if it doesn't anyways).Love what you are doing though! Keep up the updates.

[viperlp01]

Ya the power steering bracket will work perfect for a support. will be making that soon.

[95TalonOwner]

Very nice build!

[airmail96]

I like that rear sub frame man, this build is awesome can't wait to see it on the dyno.

[tron2119]

This is heaven! I cannot wait to see this bad boy in action! Any updates?
