J-GO's build
First, just want to say a big thanks to Charm City Tuning
This was a long term build, was never in a hurry to finish it. Things kept getting added to it. My original goal for the car one year ago was to have a 400ish hp pump gas car. Things got carried away and i ended up with a monster.
Stock bottom end
Manley valves
Manley springs and retainers
Inline Pro 3mm head gasket (i know this might end up being a problem, i will put a stock head gasket back in if i have to)
Inline Pro turbo manifold
Precision 6768 ball bearing turbo
3" custom intercooler piping. Connected on all 4 corners with Vanjen clamps. No rubber couplings
4" Custom "down pipe"
Full Blown throttle body
One off intake manifold from Charm City Tuning
Full Blown dual pump hanger with two Full Blown 340 pumps
ID1000's (will be upgraded to ID2000's asap for e85)
Full Race intercooler
Full Blown civic style radiator
Hasport diff mounts
Comp twin disc clutch
otherwise stock drivetrain for now
etc, etc, etc. Between myself and the crew at Charm City Tuning there are countless hours of work into this car.
Lots more to come, v160 trans and 8.8 rear are on my to do list for the winter. Once i have a drive train and a roll cage in the car it will be at the drag strip.
Right now the car is just tuned on 93 pump, so i could drive it a little bit before the cold MD winter hit us, so no crazy numbers yet. E85 tune to push the stock motor is coming soon with the ID2000's.
A lot more to come!

Made 500 on pump with out even trying. If we would have had c16 at the shop we would have tuned it on some c16 that night. Could have made more but decided to call it quits at that on pump gas and took the car out on the streets for the rest of the night. Obviously don't have enough injector for e85 so we didn't even bother with it.
