i like all the fab work you've done so far. very clean, and very well done for sure. your build is coming along great!

i need somebody like you to go nuts on my 1g... same kind of tubular front end, full cage, v-band exhaust, etc /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Made a bracket for the talon overflow bottle since I don't have the factory one.

Today was the first day of driving and so far so good. I will go through the entire car in a couple days to make sure nothing is loose.

 

[EHmotorsports]

At least now I'm at a point that I can start cleaning everything up. Body work will Probably be the next step.

I kinda like how it is two colors.

how does it ride with with solid rear subframe? any difference? just curious?

 

[EHmotorsports]

The back defenitly feels more planted to the ground and responsive. Finaly took it on the hwy and roadnoise has defenitly increased but that was to be expected.

Props to you for saving the car, definitely come a long way. Hows it running?

 

[EHmotorsports]

Runs good I just need to run this tank out and fill it with some fresh 92. The gas that was in it is probably 5 months old. Then I can start on tuning with more boost.

 

[EHmotorsports]

Decided to improve on my tig welding skills and make an intake for the galant airbox.
Still have a ways to go to make the welds look pretty but I will get it with more practice.

Used the galant air can for now. Just wanted some sort of filter while I gather parts for the HX35.

 

[EHmotorsports]

I also started sanding down the HX35 compressor housing.

 

[EHmotorsports]

Finished polishing the turbo housing today. I also rebuilt the turbos center section for peice of mind.

 

[faqinshiet]

Damn your build looks amazing!

 

[EHmotorsports]

thanks i have plans to clean up the engine and all the piping soon. just in time for the new turbo

 

[DynastyLCD]

the picture with the polished compressor cover and the red light looks pretty sick!

now just remove that silencer ring /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

 

[EHmotorsports]

Haha yes it does look sinister doesn't it? After I order the BEP housing I will be removing that silencer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif
At first I was worried that it may effect performance by removing it. But I have a buddy thats an engineer for daimler and he said it was just designed to make it quieter. He sold me on removing it

 

[DynastyLCD]

are you using the bolt-on Mitsubishi flanged housing, or the T3?

im curious for results. and i love the build so far - the effort you've put into this is awesome!

 

[EHmotorsports]

It will be the mitsu housing. It's an 8 blade hx so from what I've read it doesn't have the highest flow for an hx but it's good for lower boost and quicker spool up.
I have plans for 20-25 psi and I'm not shooting for max power. Just usable power on the track. I can't wait for next season to startup.
the ridge opened up in WA. It has a crazy long straight.

Removed the rear wing today.

Started filling the holes
