Great SS-Four rebuild 2010-2011, Thanks Wolf... (VIDEO update April 22nd) Options

[malpaso]

What to say. The time has come to share in pictures with the great re-build . Works it self are not finished yet and exact due date is not known as well (since as always something unexpected can pop up anytime). Everything has started in August 2010 after my Alpine road trip (also some pics here). I really wanted to say to my car decent good bye (before I leave it thousand miles from home in Italy) for many months. As time and money comes and goes things has changed a bit from the beginning but that is not important. Important is that everything is on the best way it should be now. I will share more with pics than with words because I know everyone likes pictures more than reading ...

Primary target = rebuild the engine
In fact engine it self was not any bad. But it do not mean everything was mint with the car/engine (as can be seen in some pictures later).









Since my mechanic wolf_tm is super-precise person everything must be clean and perfect.





















Almost everything in the engine was replaced by performance parts or new OEM parts.





Of course also clutch was replaced by more durable one and flywheel was skimmed and balanced.





So engine done... almost (done means "closed" ). To be continued...

I just bought my turbo today, and i noticed yours looks identical (Really tiny compared to CT). You say you would choose something different?

Yours is GT2860RS with .64 A/R? Apart from it being tiny, why do you want something else (unless your chassing alot more than stock)?

From all the information I could find, this is the only ball bearing turbo that will spool up before 3000. I don't see the sense in being torqueless out of tight corners (2nd gear 2500rpm) with 4wd traction



It's a shame I wont get to see how yours runs on a stock ECU since you have the Power FC there, that part is out of my budget for now
