Almost 80% done. We have changed the alternator place from right to left to give more space for the Turbo down pipe on the right side.
Also, we have Ceramic powder coating all the pipes and Turbo to keep them cool.

Should be on dyno next week maybe ..

The setup capable of 900HP

But of course we can't push it that far because of the transmission and engine.

For now we have only changed the engine internals :
- JE Forged pistons ( Stock bore & compression )
- BC APR2000 Rods


transmission still stock, Couldn't find any upgrade for it like clutches. But I will work on it soon.

First we gonna try 10PSI.

Hopefully we put it in dyno next week.

I'm wondering why you didn't go with lower compression pistons?

That's actually a good point, I hadn't thought about that. IS runs 11.8:1 compression stock. You rarely see compression anywhere near that on turbocharged engines.

That compression needs to come down to run anything even close to high boost. 10psi wont cause any issues, but the limiting factor is the stock compression. The heads will be blown off at 20psi. Just some pistons would let you make significantly more power I assume.

Either way it's going to be spectacular...cause if it holds together it will go like a scolded cat...and if it doesn't it will explode like Katy Perry singing Fireworks on the 4th of July in the middle of a hurricane that's filled with glitter lol (take a moment and let the image sink in lol)

Engine sounds great so far!

I'm not sure what they were saying, but I think it went like this (around the 0:40 mark):

Tech #1 - What's that rattling sound?
Tech #2 - That small ECU is on the exhaust manifold
Tech #1 - Pick up the ECU
Tech #2 - Ok

lol

Can't wait to see this thing rolling.

LoL your right the rattling sound was from the ECU hitting the turbo manifold. We still have a lot to finish. But so far so good. Engine running great and sound good.
