I followed your signature from your post to check out more. What an EPIC build, congrats on such a fine machine. Truth be told I was struggling with where my car currently is and what my ultimate goal would be.
Not gonna lie, I'm about a 20whp difference with my PS2 HF turbo so I know how wonderful the car performs at this power level. Unfortunately I've had some bad luck with the car twice now I'm doing a full-on motorbuild. With that in mind I was thinking of going to larger turbos like the PS2+ or Kratos.
After reading several other post about bigger laggy turbos I then stumbled across your car and the "Sweet Spot," thread and thought it is just that a sweet spot. It was the early morning hours, but I said this build hits all my marks, great safe tuning, good DI fueling system and competent & effective turbo setup with good exhaust flow and a beautiful curve with loads of TQ down low.
Thanks for helping me reset my focus and realize it's not all about the highest numbers, but more so a complete car that hits all marks without sacrificing anything.
After reading through this great post be on the lookout for a similar build thread with my car and a back story that is heartbreaking, but hopefully as inspiring as your build is! |
Many thanks! I’ll have to do a “real” photoshoot at some point after the new suspension and wheels/tires are on.
Would love to see a build post with your built motor! I plan to keep this car for a few years and I’d love to be able to turn everything up to 11/10, but there’s no shop local that can do a bottom end build.
