Yes. Lots, actually.

In the process of complete cooling system upgrade:
-Mishimoto race rad (bought local for 75 bucks :p )
-Coolant reroute using Begi parts and the GM hose

and a new intercooler that works more appropriately with the factory ducting/undertray and allows a MUCH better intercooler path

I also switched turbos. Sold the 2554R, now I'm running a Begi 2870, but I also bought a Holset HY-35 for future plans :D

Also scored tons of little parts from MT over the last few months.

I'll post pics.

I didn't see it in your posts. What catback is that? Enthuza?

Tallgeese Jan 24, 2012 01:34 AM

Yes, the exhaust is Enthuza 3" stainless and the cat delete is also Enthuza.

well look at that Tallgeese, things are looking up for you after all. The Brain has taken a liking to you, but don't cross him or your name will turn white/grey.

Good job, Josh!

And I agree this would be a great March nomination. It would be even better if the car was put back together and on the road for a photoshoot. Then Brain could go to the Florida Keys for a photoshoot and interview in February (when the weather is beautiful in NoVa, lol) and write the trip off as a business expense.

Brain and I have a love/love relationship.

I'm going to dyno the car soon, just making sure I get the cooling issue that I have overlooked/put aside for the last year and a half, lol

I'm going to try and get pulls done at 5, 10 and maybe 15psi. It would be nice to see what the intake manifold does. Then we'll see how long I keep this turbo before I start wanting to use the Holset.

I'm only on my 4th turbo so far, lol

A nomination would be cool. I've had this build thread on MT for a while but it never got any attention since it was lacking in baller parts and honestly I never really updated it too much.

It's cool to look back through it and see that I literally replaced or worked every single part of the car. It's been a super fun project and makes me want to keep the car even more. I've had it for 7 years now.

Anyone is welcome to come to visit. I have a pretty boss couch. This winter has been pretty brutal. I had to wear jeans for nearly 3 days.
