SOLD 3/27/09 - the car has a new home in Long Island

 

I just purchased an incomplete BPT GTX project. The quality of work done by the previous owner is exceptional, I will attempt to keep up the good work.

Here's some of the highlights:

- 1.8L BPT engine and BPT transmission with custom motor mounts
- Custom shift linkage
- Brand new 550cc fuel injectors
- Brand new 15 gal fuel cell located in a custom pan in the trunk
- Brand new Optima red top battery and battery box relocated in trunk
- Brand new MSD fuel pump (needs to be mounted)
- Custom C&R Racing aluminum radiator
- Custom log style exhaust manifold with Swain ceramic coating
- T3/T4 turbo .63 A/R
- Custom top mount intercooler with full 3" tubing used throughout
- Custom 3" downpipe with heat wrap and O2 bung
- Custom 3" exhaust made from 3" mandrel aluminized pipe
- New wastegate and BOV
- All new engine sensors (Water, IAT, Oil Pressure, etc...)
- Custom Ford idle air control valve
- Engine converted to distributorless ignition using EDIS-4 setup and 36-1 wheel welded to crank pulley
- New power streering fluid overflow tank and custom stainless lines
- New stainless clutch line
- Existing KYB GR2 suspension and stock springs

Still needs quite a few things. Mainly a megasquirt system.
