Well ive been 8 years into this dsm world now and its been fun. When i first got the car it went 12.3s pretty good for a stock rebuilt motor on a big16g and bolt-ons. Got rod knock, then decided to build a g4cs 2.4 setup for it, which lasted me 9k and i broke the crank which i can think of multiple reasons why it broke (machine shop mainly). I had it together from sept. 05 till jan 06 and then it sat for over a year because of how frusterated i was. Finally got tired of seeing it sit. I got all motivated and finally pulled the motor and apart, got the parts to the machine shop and got it back together.
I got really lucky on the internals (wiesco 9:0.1s and eagle rods). since i wasnt racing the car when it broke. I got a fresh crank and had it balanced blue printed, and micro polished with the rotating assembly since i dont think it was done the first time. I also had alot of coolant push issues so i went with a good ol felpro composite head gasket and my arp studs. I ported my head when the motor went together the first time, so i basically had that cleaned up with the block and put back together.
Im currently running Fp2 cams (currently for sale for fp3s) and manley valvetrain. Was running a vpc/afc2/dsmchip, but in the past couple of months switched to AEM EMS, ill never look back . Im running 880cc. Turbos a to4e 60-1 with a t4 p trim hot side rebuilt by forcedperformance, bolted to a fully ported by me 2g manifold with a tial 38 hanging off it.
Trans is built by dogboxracing.com. I put a Powertrain technoligy twin disk in and blew the transfer case apart. Damn thing revs like a bike since the whole clutch setup flywheel and all weighs only 16LBS!! I love this clutch, and have since learned to use it to its full potential.
Jmf intake manifold for now.
I also have a very custom tubular K member made by a good friend of mine that does very sick fabrication.
You can check out his other stuff at www.haggardfab.com
I tuned the car myself, via wideband and datalogger. Tuned the car on c16 to 31psi 0 counts of knock to 8300k, and on pump easily ran 26psi no meth, or alcohol injection. Its amazing what a composite gasket will do with a tuned car, I get 0 coolant push..for now
.
Its winter time now so its time to go crazy and Rick Ross tells me to "PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT"
Here some pics, and im going to take some more undated pics of the fluidamper i put on the car acouple months ago, the twin disk installed and what not. Thanks for looking.
Pic is 1-2 weeks before crank broke
Taking the motor out to fix it. 1 year after it broke.
All fixed a back together. Fresh crank, fully balanced.

In the car and some cleaning done. Had to wear here back in.
New tubular K-member Fresh
Front bar
K-member in
Cleaned some more stuff up, ran harness under the intake manifold. Wired on 2g injector clips (so much easier to take on and off. Relocated the coil pack
Twin disk installed.
Week later, twin disk carnage
First Gear...well whats left.
This is whats waiting now. GT4294 1.01 a/r, On Green Performance equal lenth divided t4 CAST manifold. Magnus DOG engagement trans.
Got my t4 divided 1.01 turbine housing. Looks so good bolted to the manifold. Also have some of the last pieces i need on there way pte 1600cc injectors/ jays racing alternator relocation kit/ 2g vss (so i can setup my aem ems 2 step off the speed sensor so i can load up the drivetrain on the clutch, plus still have a 2 step since it dosent work now unless im on the clutch switch).
