This project is almost 2 years in the making. Today I dropped off the S to have my Laskey block, portflow head, Cusco Hyper single clutch, and Lovefab 3" single installed. I've been running the UR gen 2 kit for almost a year, and have been saving for this setup longer than that. I am really pumped. I am getting ARP head studs, the gaskets are all in, and the only thing I am waiting on is the exhaust that Cody said should ship around Monday. List of my mods when all is done:
UR gen 2 turbo kit.
Benson sleeved block built by Laskey racing with 9:1 CP pistons, pauter rods.
Portflow head witht he full job. Stock sized intake valves, 1mm oversized exhaust.
Cusco Hyper single clutch
Lovefab 3" single exhaust.
AEM EMS w/ UEGO
Autometer boost and oil pressure gauges
Wilwood 6 -piston kit w/ 14" rotors
Tein Flex coilovers w/ EDFC
18" Rays Gram Lights
Top Secret CF hood and front bumper
Ings+1 Sides and rear.
I think that's it. I hate to think about how much I've spent on this car, but at this point I don't care. I am really excited that I am almost finished. Further plans are:
Lovefab sidewinder manifold w/ 3" downpipe and testpipe
Some sort of diff package
Now I just wait till it's done, and off to the dyno. Sorry so long, but I am so excited.
I've been waiting years.

really nice setup...how much boost are you looking to run at?

 

Good job on the build J. You better get that thing finished if you think you are getting #1 again at NOPI 06. HAHA. I am hot on your tail.

 

Congrats - I can't wait to see the final numbers.

If I may ask, where did you end up getting the ARP Studs?

 

Very nice man

 

Thats an impressive list of upgrades...no, thats A FREAKIN AWESOME setup!!!!
I'm in the process of HALF that stuff and sorely excited. Please, post pics and numbers...subscribing.

By the way, congrats. I'm sure it was a lot of hard work picking out and deciding on all the final parts.

 

Awesome setup, can't wait to see what kind of power you throw down. Car looks great too.

 

car looks really good. Nice work.

 

Sorry everyone. I've been outtat town all weekend. Thanks for all the congratulations! Now where do I start?
I don't know how much boost I will be running. The block is good for 40 psi + nitrous. However, I don't think I'll be anywhere near that with my 60-1 turbo and log manifold. NOPI '06 is mine. Muahahaha!
Black Nugget, I got them through Atomic Speedware after all. Thanks for the suggestion.
Kane, you're my idol, and you were the first person that really helped me with all this FI stuff. I think I bought my UEGO from ya, didn't I?
Do y'all have any predictions of power or boost with my setup? I am going in hoping for over 400 whp, but I don't know if that is realistic or not. Ed Senf will be doing my tuning and he is top notch, so we will definitely be doing some bragging pulls for big #s!
Finally, I am now taking any and all donations as I am close to being broke.
Thanks again for all the compliments. C ya

Glad to help! - I still need to give them a call to order my set sooner or later,
