This thing is gonna be nasty

Engine progress

[HAM8URGER]

Got some ARP studs for the Turbo/exhaust manifold

[HAM8URGER]

Started on the fuel cell project as well. Measured everything out, prepped, cut the hole in the trunk and started on the frame for the fuel cell. Ill upload pics later

Mostly stripped out the interior too. Took the seatbelts out, front and back seats, carpet, door pans and rear shelf.

Then threw the crossmember and front sway on...

[HAM8URGER]

Then got a couple coats of low gloss on...

[HAM8URGER]

Also cut out the battery tray and grinded it down nice and flush

[HAM8URGER]

Completely stripped down the engine bay. Took everything out to prep. Used paint stripper...What a pain in the ass. There was silver paint on top of red paint on top of primer. Fuck this shit haha

Next we pulled the motor and trans and...well...a ton of other shit

Same concept with the exhaust wheel. Small center, less blades, less rotating mass but more total blade surface area and higher flowing. I have read on other forums that this exhaust wheel flows/power like a TD06SL2 with the spool characteristics of a smaller turbine. I won't have a baseline for comparison when I post dyno graphs but it should perform well and produce the numbers I am looking for.

So here are the differnces between the stock Mitsubishi 18g compressor wheel and the Kamak STS billet wheel. The kamak is obviously taller which is supposed to pull more air. It is also lighter than the cast stock wheel because of its smaller center. Less mass in the middle, larger blades and more surface area on the blades. Also there Are less blades total but more blade surface area

As you can see there is much more blade on the the Kamak STS wheel and has less mass/weight in the center.

So the next thing I tackled was rebuilding the Greddy turbo...
