Updated pictures... (ATR HEADER, MSD COILPACK - CRANK TRIGGERED

After a lot of thought I have decided to sell my car in order to finance the rest of my education. If you are interested, you can email me at firebugsy@hotmail.com. The car is originally from CT, I brought it to Canada in 1996. Milage is approx. 115,000m. Please Email me for more information or to request my phone number, I will deliver the vehicle within 1,6000 km;)

Well, the work is finally paying off, I will be posting my dyno sheets soon, Since this page was built, I have added A crank triggered ignition system, got rid of the distributor, added an ATR header and finally got enough guts to turn the boost up over 20psi;)

Built over six years, this car is constantly evolving and is becoming a little more potent every year.


Ok, enough, here is the specs:

2300 turbo motor, balanced and blueprinted, shot peened rods, ARP hardware, forged 30 over pistions, felpro 1035 headgasket. The head features Esslinger hardware, big valves, roller camshaft, hight rev double valve spring with ported and polished intake and exhaust ports.
The intake is custom made by Dave Godfrey, and features a built in air to water heat exchanger.

The coolant is pumped through a front mounted heat exchanger by a Lightning water pump.
The primary intercooling is provided by Spearco air/air IC mounted below. Engine managment is provided by SDS, with crank triggered MSD coil pack, this allows for full control over fuel/ignition anbd timing events right from the cockpit. The Turbocharger is a T3/4 hybrid with RC Engeneering 550cc injectors to support the 30lb boost levels. Suspension is lowered 40mm, a bit too much for these roads, and Urethane bushings are used fore and aft.

Interiour, late Sapphire dash, custom clusters, VDO gauges 300km/h speedo, DAD seats, custom brackets. I have finally sorted those pesky little problems out, so time for the dyno;) stay tuned....
