Ownage

just got my Turbo in today, good news is its a T04B-25 with a 0.60 A/R compressor housing.

Bad news is that the guy told me it was going to have a 0.80 A/R exuast housing, and it came with a 1.15 oh well, its not going to make a huge difference, just hold back the spool up time a little. And if i really want to, i could always just buy a 0.80 Exaust housing and switch it with the 1.15 one.

Its almost 100% brand new, the guy a bought it from put it on his 1.8L Acura Integra rofl, and it barely even made 5 psi of boost because his engine is was way to small to spin it up. His mechanic told him to get a T25 and sell this one, so thats exactly what he did.

It only has about 50 miles on it, since he took it off soon after he found out it was too big.

Anyways, onto the pics!

89 Firebird.

Its a POS on the inside and out, the previous owner only took care of the engine and tranny, he must be like me!

Engine > Drivetrain > Suspension > Exterior > Interior.

The paint is pealing and in some spots the paint is down to bare sheetmetal. (like somebody tried to sand it. )

The interior is pretty nice, just a cracked center console. I eventually plan to get a full 4th gen interior, but performance comes first. So it will be a while.

Its raining right now, so i will snap some pics of my car tommarow, if it is not still raining.
