I travelled up to Charles' place this past weekend with his freshly built destroked QR. In 18 hours, from start to finish, we had the car up and running.. It would have been much faster, but, we had to take several breaks during the day to run out for misc. install parts. Keep in mind.. this car hasn't run in over a year!
8am Saturday morning..
I stared at this for about 20 minutes before diving in..
A few good shots of the drivetrain, ready to install..
Buttoning everything up..
With fresh fuel in the tank.. the engine fired right up, and settled in at a nice lopey idle..

Nothing exciting.. just a fire up video..
After 500 miles of break-in, it will go back on the dyno for a retune, due to the bigger 67mm ball bearing turbo that we installed. We made 500whp @ 19psi and 8500rpm on a very conservative tune (http://www.fi-r.net/images2/500whpSQRDyno.wmv) last year. Now, we're going 9000rpm and we're turning the wick up with larger injectors and a much larger compressor wheel. 650-700whp @ 28-30psi?

luckily i got this car running again. i let my buddy take the fox to the grocery store and he ended up putting it in a ditch nose first. the damage isnt all that bad from what i can tell. the upper and lower rad. support is bent, pass. fender is creased and the bumper cover is trashed. it still runs and drives fine.
im not sure what happened, he grew up driving that car since it was brandnew. its not like he wasnt used to the "power"
anyway, just wanted to share with my foxbody buds.
