Update on my single turbo R1

whats up everyone, i am still pretty new to this forum and i havent been posting much. been real busy with college/work, etc. however, i finally have some updated pictures of my FD. first, a little before and after.

Before. you got mufflers used for intercooler pipes and the B.O.V on the wrong side. courtesy of the previous owner's builder.


After. real intercooler pipes, BOV on correct side, new turbo from Precision,new pulleys on alternator/water pump.old pulleys will be repainted to make it cleaner soon. ignore the copper tubing, we used it to just have wastegate plugged in for test runs. dont want to be out there pushin 30lbs when it can only 12-14 right? old wastegate line was destroyed from severe heat. AIT is on IC pipe for now, going to be replaced with the meth injection nozzle. heat wrap applied to the downpipe as well to keep engine bay temps cooler. also have LS2 coils from Haltech going in soon.


i also purchased upgrades for my fuel system from KGparts.com. it came with:



list of parts:
1680cc secondaries
secondary fuel rail
SS braided lines + fittings
Aeromotive FPR + Gauge
primary fuel rail adapter
clips for the secondaries

i also got the Alky Control meth injection kit.unfortunately i didnt get to take pics of it since we got it stashed in my buddy's office at the shop. i do however have a picture of my fuel cell. its a 4 gallon.


my old turbo that was blown last august. the damage was horrendous and it also claimed my old B.O.V in the carnage.


my new turbo. T4 .81 A/R 62 trim billet aluminum. small pic cuz i took pic with my cam phone which sucks.


thats all i have for now, hope you all enjoy looking at a ratrod slowly becoming a presentable and efficient FD R1. its been quite a journey with this car for the past 2yrs ive owned it. soon, i will be putting this on the dyno after we get it boosting safely. i will of course post up the numbers and hopefully a video for all to see

after that is finished...its paint job time!
