So I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. To sum it up, I ran 9-10 psi all summer. Denver has a yearly brown smog cloud over the city, and somehow the environmentalists think that a 10% ethanol mixture in the gasoline will help. And Im too much of a broke ass to retune, raped on the motor, and destroyed a bearing. Fuck spinning it, destroyed, demolished, no longer existant. Also bent the rod with it. #3...

Onto the pics.

Photobucket fuxored my pics. So I just deleted them, so you have less to scroll past.

Picked up a spare ZC to throw in it for the time being. Slightly porting the head out, cleaning up the piston casting, etc, and dropping it in within the next few weeks. Hoping to get eCtune, 1000cc's, swap to e85, and work on the suspension over the course of the summer. Then Ill be building the bottom end near the end of the season.

This isnt an intro thread, I had one on the old site. But I'll still work on some porn later...

Shit sucks! Good luck with the rebuild, get her back on the road asap.

This post never had any kind of interest, but I will update anyways. Big thanks to Malichite, who went and picked up my rods and pistons, so I wouldnt get scammed.

I will let the pics do the talking. Theres a shit load from the past few months...

Finally upped the boost to 19 (as much as my WG/HMT MBC springs would hold), and made 342/281.

Car spun the tires on the rollers in 3rd.

Got it to the track for the first time on slicks this year. Borrowed 24.5x8x13s. Got off the line and held the ebrake too long, LOL. Still ran a 12.89 @ 115. (Keep in mind this is 5800 feet above sea level). Last pass, I missed 3rd and still ran a 12.84@111. Should be 11s easily with another shot and some more seat time.

Nice build. ;D

What size inj.?

Where do you go to tune.? What dyno?

I live up here in Casper, Wyo. trying to find a dyno and tuner I can trust.

I hope to be racing at Bandimere at the World Tuner Challenge Sep-20-2009.

I'll miss this weekend's Street Tuner Mayhem probably gets rained out anyways. ;D

Nice picts. and the pron was alright. ;D

But some dude on OHMT was selling SRPs and H beams for 250 or some shit, but didnt have PayPal so he "wouldnt ship". Wreaked of scam. Yea, Malichite it the SHIT! He went and picked em up for me, checked em out, and shipped em. Rods alone were worth it.

Those pistons look like Shit!!! :yes:Yea, that one did. The other 3 looked fine. My machine shop matched it to the cylinder, and they seem fine. Thanks again man!!!

This build wreaks of OC and ZC, I fucking love it. I hate you for putting down more power then me too Haha. Sorry man. And on this weak ass eBay turbo and LOW ass compression. Probably like 7.8:1. But then again, its a DynoJet. So who knows. I just use trap speeds to determine. 116 so far. And I still have that OCZC TUNING sticker on my car. LOL. Got rid of the HMT when the site went to shit, but couldnt get rid of that historical shit. LOL.

Just for shits and giggles. My buddy's logo was gonna be pink, so I ran with it. He ran out of stickers though. So for now, he doesnt have a pink one on my car. I figure, the wife likes it, wont have too many followers and copy cats, it attracts some attention, and looks decent. And I like when all the AWD Factory Turbo Fags in my area see it, talk shit, and then cant keep up. LOL. Fuckin Subaru and EVO fags. Theyre a dime a dozen in Colorado.

So I went to look at your thread Malichite, but it doesnt say what kinda power you make (quick skim, maybe I missed it). Or PSI. I saw that your pipes are holding 15 nicely... But I do have one large advantage that I forgot to mention, and you may have missed...

AJxr · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2009, 05:46:00 PM »

everything is awesome and badass, the pink just sucks tho.

theidealone · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2009, 09:39:40 PM »

11.96 @ 116.

Camera sucks, so you cant see the time (no zoom during recording), but you can hear the announcer say it. (Lady gets a little excited and drops the camera. LOL)

Photobucket fuxored my pics. So I just deleted them, so you have less to scroll past.

Little more seat time, and I should see mid 11s on the same set up. But regardless, Im happy, being that its my daily. I wanna try to get some videos of me pulling R6s.

hatrack48 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:28:52 AM »

I thought i've seen this car before, on the local fourm HAI. welcome Curtis. Nice numbers. was your head done by Dustin and what do you think of his work. also did Brent do the dyno

theidealone · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2009, 12:39:33 AM »

Hey, thanks man. Whats your SN on HAI?

Yea, Dustin did do the port work on my head, and gasket matched my manifold. Customer service is ridiculous. Guy is awesome, goes out of his way, bends over backwards, and works hard. Above and beyond ANY expectations. The work is way more than you pay for. Awesome prices. It may not be CNC work, but it looks identical, and is as close to it, as it will get by hand. The guy is awesome, and only getting better. He also helped me with the assembly, and made sure everything was sand blasted and clean as it was in 89 (or 92-motor). Ive never seen a cleaner D series cable tranny.

Well, my buddy Greg street tuned my car. Which with no data log, and no timing covers, he did great. I got 22-23 mpg, and first pull on the dyno made 331/270. Brent made a few slight changes with the fuel and timing and made 342/281.

theidealone · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2010, 07:12:01 PM »

God damn it. I finally got on it and organized my PhotoBucket, and look at this shit.

Oh well, fuck the old, in with the new. Hoping to have it running tomorrow. I was gonna paint first (some Rusto rolling), but its snowed the other day, and is gonna snow this weekend. So were gonna try and get a little tuning in before the snow hits. Im scrambling today to get it back on the ground.

And then:

And now:

Looks great so far but is that an ebay turbo? Just fo shits and grins?

ratcityrex · « **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2010, 04:15:35 PM »

PIMP!

theidealone · « **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2010, 07:09:00 PM »

Yea, eBay turbo. Cus I havent had the money to upgrade that yet, and its still spinnin.

Tried to get it running today, but I have no spark. Trying to find an OBD1 dizzy to borrow, so I can rule out that, or wiring.

theidealone · « **Reply #25 on:** June 08, 2010, 11:53:10 AM »

No videos yet, but I did get it running. Full Rusto Rolled paint job too. I still cant believe how good it looks, and I havent even sanded or buffed.

Then I made it to the track Sunday

Forgot the lug nuts for the slicks, so I just had to heat the fuck out of the BFGs. Then I got to the line.

And...

I snapped the short axle in the middle of the shaft, and the long axle inside of the diff. Didnt bring any spares, so I didnt get a pass in.

I will be back up there on Friday. Hopefully this time, I wont get so excited. I preloaded, but forgot that its a brand new clutch. So it didnt slip like my clutch last year...

92CXyD · « **Reply #26 on:** June 08, 2010, 12:00:15 PM »

Damn I knew I should have gone Bandi. last weekend.

Love the paint job. :yes:

theidealone · « **Reply #27 on:** June 13, 2010, 05:13:18 PM »

Got it back to the track, but couldnt find 2nd gear. Finally broke the tranny.

But I did trap 124 missing 2nd everytime, with this little ass eBay turbo at altitude.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 13, 2010, 05:52:39 PM »

Damn I cant wait to see some vids!

ratcityrex · « **Reply #29 on:** June 14, 2010, 02:08:59 PM »

124mph? That's fucken moving!
