MOTOR BUILD FINISHED!!!!!!!

 

I have recently had my engine blow a piston rod.  So now I've rebuilt my motor and getting it tuned for something around 500whp!! updates on page 5 and videos on page 4.

I'm breaking in the motor and in the middle of moving so hopefuly soon I will be getting it tuned for my 500whp mark.  Need to break in the motor first and then will get it done.  Right now I'm running two maps at 16psi and the other at 19psi.  It pulls nice and hard for being untuned.  More to come.....

i'm not 100% sure that it helped cuz before i never used my higher rpms due to the lack of power so its pointless to rev our motor above 5500rpm with the stock turbo, i put it on when i built it.

yo man sweet ride. u got a ton of shit done to it. my speed3 is stock, have had it for about 8 months now and am ready to do a couple things to it. i got roughly $1,000 to blow and really want this car to make some noise (and good noise i mean by that of course, no ricey shit). i've been looking into the cp-e exhaust u got, watched all ur vids and have prob spent 10 hours of my life trying to figure out which is the loudest/meanest sounding exhuast out there. i think it's between magnaflow and cp-e from what i've read/videos watched. i know a cbe will not yield hardly any performance advantages compared to roughly 30whp and 40wtq from tbe. i'm really just looking to get the nastiest set up sound wise. i'm almost tempted to just get the cp-e cbe with w/o the optional resonator and muffler (u got the 12" i see). i'd imagine that'd be pretty loud. i can't even decide on cp-e nano sri or cai. looks like the cai yields more sound which i'd prefer. if u could give me any feedback, that'd be awesome. thx man and good luck with the ride!
