dyno pulls!

Naturally Aspirated, 1.5, 3, and 5 psi. 340 rwhp not bad for a sub $1000 turbo kit. Have plenty of fuel left, just need a heavier wastegate spring. Super pumped regardless!

Awesome!

Good power, good sound, and a little boost, all for very little money... it's awesome! This project, in all of it's revisions, gets me excited, I love it.

empera · 05-12-2017, 03:39 PM

great! decent numbers for the build.

Foolinaround · 05-13-2017, 10:23 AM

This is why I used to enjoy this forum. Simple builds with some skills making decent power. This wasn't empty the bank budget and all perfect fit kit put on; it was actual DIY. Good ****

rocknrace03 · 05-14-2017, 02:09 PM

Thanks for the kinds words everyone. I wouldn't say this build was cheap, if i could do it all over i wouldn't have wasted time/money on so much "bling" at first. That said i've learned so much and could care less about the money. I don't know that i will really look to turn the boost up at all, just going to enjoy it and hope the 60e stay together through the summer. I'm toying around with selling the car, but if i dont the plan from hear on out is to fix some of the rust and replace some worn suspension parts, maybe add power steering too.

rocknrace03 · 05-27-2017, 03:05 PM

psssst... someone buy this car ;)

rocknrace03 · 06-10-2017, 01:57 PM

So I sold the car last night. It's bitter sweet , but the money will go a long way at trying to get my turbo manifolds produced as one castes piece. I am hopefully looking at purchasing a "shop truck" Silverado to test out the parts. We probably won't see anything on that until the end of summer. Thanks for coming along for the ride guys. It's been fun!

blue91lx · 06-10-2017, 02:18 PM

Best of luck investing in the business, man. I'm sure it will prove well worth it, as bittersweet as it may bet!

Foolinaround · 06-11-2017, 10:06 AM

I know where it went because I recognized the car instantly from the picture he posted. Good luck!

mckpat03 · 06-11-2017, 04:11 PM

Bittersweet, indeed, but really looking forward to seeing where you go from here.

For sure, I told him to keep it together until I get home so I can take a ride in it.
