Disclaimer: I spelled thread wrong on purpose because it amuses me.
Little background, when i was 17-19 I knew some dudes that owned a shop in PA called Hybridynamics. They were famous for honda swaps, sr20 builds and DSMs. All of their cars were almost stock and very clean on the outside and all ran 11-12 sec at the strip. I feel in love with turbos. I finished college, got a job, bought a house, got a better paying job and now for the first time in my life I have the resources to do a proper build and not feel like my financial life would be over if something goes horrifyingly wrong.
Last Jan I bought a 2012 WW GSR with 4 miles on it and as soon as I hit the first oil change happened I kissed my warranty goodbye and got everything I needed to max out the stock turbo. I've been so happy with the car ever since.
After reading on here for the past year, I was getting kind of disappointed watching people do big builds and make nice peak numbers but with not so optimistic spool results (I live in Pittsburgh, it's very steep and hilly in some places and I don't want to be driving around at 5 k all the time). Initially I thought ok, maybe instead of going crazy I should just get a red with supporting mods and be happy with that. Then Phantom showed some super promising spool results with his twin scroll T4 6466 build and I was immediately back on board.
Then shortly after Murlo posted the MAP Twinscroll T4 group buy. I thought this is my chance. So I waited for my bonus to come in for the quarter. After my bill clear next week I will be in a position to send MAP the cash for the group buy. I think I will go with ceramic coated manifold and hot side, 1.0 A/R, 6266 BB. I was going to go JB like Murlo but this is my once in lifetime build and I'm doing it the way I want on the first try.
My current mods are in SiG and the plan is this. Get Turbo kit on a discount. Spend the rest of the summer collecting and installing supporting mods. Hopefully save enough money by winter to have get a 2.2 or 2.4 built.
Goals pre engine build this summer:
Radium surge tank with wally 400 E85 version
ID 2000 Injectors
MAP fuel line kit
MAP FPR kit
Boomba Fuel rail
DW65w In tank
Innovate XD-16 WB Gauge
AEM 50 PSI Digital Gauge
Oil pressure gauge
Speed Circuit firewall and cam sensor heat shields
Driven Fab Catch can
Please if anyone has any advice on getting this right the first try I want to hear it. I've started forming some plans on engine build parts and I've talked to Dino but seriously, any good advice is welcome.
That's the plan, here's the thread. Pics to follow.
Oh, and I have the magnus CMC (from when map and magnus got into a fight) this will be installed this summer too in preparation. Also wheels and tires at some point.
