whell, at this point, i dont think drag racing it would be the best idea, see it still has the stock t-5, rearend, and a king cobra clutch.
The welder i have is a lincoln mig from home depot, it was about 500. All the welds were with gasless wire, so they dont look too great.
Total cost was as follows
2-T-3's $388 ( you could go JY style on yours for cheaper, but i wanted the specific A/R these had, from spooled motorsports)
Scavenge oil pump: $200
42lb inj's $250 ebay
Blow through MAF $290 Ebay
Piping,exhaust wrap $~250 summit
Silicone couplers ~40.00 Ebay
Intercooler $176.19 Ebay
airfilters $40.00
so if you add that up, roughly 1,600.
Then add a bit more for Oil lines, vac lines, etc. But it really didemt break the bank, and that price includes the roughly $550 for the MAF and INj's. Its really cheaper than a blower in that respect, i mean, a new vortech is like 3g's or even a used one is ~2,000.....and you usually dont even get maf's and Inj'c for that.
In my opinion, its a great project for the cost, seems to be capable of good power.
Some small issues i have to IORN out are....the tire slightly rubs that intake tubing on the fender, and low ground clearance, but these are things i will be tweaking.
I am charging the camera so i WILL get vids...it sounds badass and the turbos are SOOO loud due to them being only about 2 feet from the exhaust tips, and being mounted right under the car....when it boosts, it sounds like a 747 is taking off over your head lol.
BTW i have my crane 2031 cam still in, and it idles just like it did stock, i mean it should, it isnt making boost, but it seems to complement the boost nicely, as its not a super agressive cam.
i had a sheet, but i misplaced it, i will try and find it and scan it, but it make the 380 ftlbs or torque at 3.5-4.0 rpm and the max hp i dont remember....i think it was higher, anyway, its a BLAST to drive on the street, and when you boost, people double take, and point at the car lol.....its actually really funny....also as an added bonus the BOV is really loud and thats a plus.
I still have the flame throwers wired up in there, but im afraid to use em cause i dont know what the turbine wheels would do....i bet nothing, its just a rich gas mixture when i hit the button, but ill try it sometime.
Today i Built my skid plate, re-did my oil system so it dosent hang far down like in the pics i posted above, and i also removed the PCV valve and screwed in a 1/2" pipe fitting to the rubber grommit and im using that as the new oil dump, i added a breather to my oil cap also....boost was getting into my crankcase from the PCV valve and spraying oil.
