I haven't updated this post in a while. Just doing some more things to it before I post any dyno numbers.
fuel system is done!! 2 x 255L walbro's and an SX fuel pressure regulator to maintain good fuel output/pressure
New turbo's (Garrett GT BB custom built) These are definitely not in their catalog. Yes these are water cooled. Old turbos were turbonetics which were ok for 480 rwhp. I'm gonna try for more
So I must admit, what I thought was my final build a couple of months ago still continues. I hope the madness ends soon.

Let's put it this way. Everything is brand new, engine management, engine, turbo, tranny, TC, suspension (tein's w/ EDFC) and all the other little things! I stopped counting out loud. But the number rings very hard in my head.
I thought I posted this once, but here it is for ya! This is the old turbo's in action with the new motor. Let's just say they weren't up to the task.

Sick! Old snails or new ones, it's a sick car! I love how the first time you tried to dyno it, and right when you really get after it, it down shifts, and pulls big time. Second pull is nice and smooth. Gotta be fun to drive.

haha i love how everyone asking how much this and how much that, awsome build man i feel your pain been there done that. At 480 at GS weight should be a high 11sec car if it gets traction def not with those wheels on it, but probably upward of 120mph trap speed in the 1/4. Cant wait to see what its going to do with bigger turbos should def be a very fun ride! Super clean, keep up the good work!
....make this thread Sticky!!!
