Many turbo threads. Here is motivation.

I like seeing the new ppl going at the turbo builds. Makes me have even more inspiration to see my latest build come to a completion here in a month or 2. Feel free to post more vids up here. Project89 and Mars have some floating arround also. Mars are very impressive to see. Any V6 being a hybrid or full 3500 or 3900 swap and turboed is just awsome to see racing at a track!



Anti Lag goofing arround:


2013 in review year:

2012 in review year:

First weekend to hit 12 seconds:

This was the first time I ever raced the car with a turbo (Mid 14's). Wow does it seem slow now but at the time I though I was hauling for a V6. Little did I know what the possibilites were and how much I knew about nothing... : ah and i still only know a little about nothing......

The build is coming together nice. I'm picking up my finished up block and new hung pistons on Wednesday. Pretty excited about that. Hopefully by March I can do a start up. Done a good amount of work on the aluminum heads and intakes. I'm really hoping my combo gets me into the high high 11second range sometime this summer. Even if it doesn't I feel that the intakes and heads will really blow the iron heads outta the water as I like keeping boost low to moderate.

Dis is coming along well also. I still need to knotch the balancer though for the crank sensor and also finish up the tube headers.

I'm really enjoying the build though as I feel that it's something I can complete and then share to others.

Thanks. I assure you there will be many more good vids this year. Call me dumb but I love these v6 and how simple they are to make decent hp on a street car set up. My car will never have a v8 just because......
