and a brand new Borg Warner S300 91/79 T4 .91 a/r for $700

Bought a brand new CXRacing fmic a while before all of this and then realized it wasn't even close enough for my new goals $400

So I gave that to a friend in trade for a good 6 bolt shortblock
and then I bought this core from CXRacing for $150
Its 31x12x4". That should support my airflow...all the supercharged mustang guys and big turbo supra guys use this same core.

....and at 28 psi my IAT don't go over 79 degrees.

Then I decided to chop up the front bumper

Then I didn't like the T4 divided setup on the street so I traded a local supra nut my Borg warner for a BEP S366 with a bolt on housing for my car. Straight traded a $700 for a $1500 turbo....win win situation.

Then my fabricator did all custom 3" intercooler piping

and I knew this turbine housing was going to have some backpressure issues so I tried my best to eliminate them...I thought #### it, I already chopped up the front bumper.

#### ME! Full of fresh oil with a new filter, with the the rev limit at 9200!

BUT WHY?.....Oh shit my clearances were on the tigheter side of factory spec when I rushed and put my new crank in the last time. DUMBASS.
So now I have a 500+whp car thats sitting in my driveway with nothing to show but this!
set


So now what am I up to? Well I have a spare oem crank thats in mint condition, I'm ordering another new god damn set of ACL race bearings, another eagle rod, another full gasket set, and aother $70 head gasket. Eh..could be worse. HEH my engines out....lets paint the engine bay, and shave and tuck it....great idea dumb ass this is your only car. Is this like a DSM disease? I feel like there is something mentally wrong with my mind when it comes down to my car? Oh well, I'm getting my income tax check soon, lets buy another DD. YEAH! So now guys, I'm waiting on parts and doin shit right this time, not in a rush. I'll try and keep this shits updated. LOL.

OH and with my FIC 2150cc injectors, my IDC was at like 48% on 93 octane with my dual bosch 044 inline pumps. I have dual feed setup into each side of the rail and I drilled and tapped a return line in the middle going to the regulator. I have both pumps rewired with bosch 4 prong relays. and YES, I plan on e85 in the near future LOL.
