In a different thread I posted about my new engine with an ITB turbo setup. Since I'm doing a lot more to the car than just swapping engins, I thought I would start a new thread. Tomorrow I plan to put the engine and transmission back in the car. I still have a bit of wiring to do after that, and I need to start working on the water injection system. So there is still a bit of work to be done. Hopefully I'll have the car ready for tuning in about two weeks, maybe three. After that, I'll start working on the interior as that will be all custom. I'll post pictures as I make progress. Here are some I just took.
My new gauge location, EGT, oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp.
New JVC GPS/stereo
eBoost2 boost gauge-controller, Davtron intercooler temp gauge and Aquamist water injection controller. The small red button next to the start button is the new location for the trunk release.
I thought I would give heat wrap arround the turbine a try to shield the motor mount.
Water/methanol injection jets
Made a few changes to the Accusump system by moving the electric valve next to the accumulator. Also addes two hela horns.

do you have the Full Race turbo kit or custom just based off of their manifold? nice build btw!
Actually, I think they designed their kit based on mine. I bought their manifold before they had a kit, and built a custom setup. About a year after I was running mine they came out with their kit that looked an a lot like mine. But of course, the key to the kit is the manifold, so they are bound to look alike.
Fred... you are an evil genius. Progress looks great. When it's time for tuning, give me a call. I'd like to be there for a pull or 2. Maybe we can grab lunch.
