In the beginning...

These photos are just snapshots of a work in progress.







Here's what you can see in these pictures:

• LC Engineering turbo header and downpipe (well, you can see the effects of it...)

• Turbonetics Deltagate external wastegate

• Late-style 22RE throttle body and upper intake plenum (which eliminates the early-style air control valve, a notorious
acceleration bandit). The new TB is overbored 3mm, and the plenum gasket matched. Contact Tim at DOA Racing Engines for more info on this swap.

• Earl's braided stainless hoses and hose ends

Here's what you can't see, but will be included in the finished engine:

• Link ElectroSystems "AFM Link" MAP-sensor replacement kit (and/or HKS FCON and fuel cut defender)

• Setrab oil cooler

• HKS EVC EZ electronic boost controller

• Flex-a-lite "Black Magic" electric fan

• Auto Meter oil temp, water temp, fuel pressure and EGT gauges (actually, the oil temp and water temp sensors will share the same gauge with an A/B switch)

• Kenne Bell "Boost-A-Pump" fuel pump voltage regulator

As they say, a fool and his money...will quickly be buying parts online!

When I'm finished, the engine's gonna be making a lot more power (or I will have wasted a good deal of time and money ;-). How much more? We'll wait for the dyno to tell the tale...

Thanks for stopping by. I intend to have everything done and running before the first of the year. I'll post some dyno number as soon as it's tuned.
