And no one is currently able to tune them that has them.
Not to a advanced level anyway.

Yeh Ink I have officially gone insane hahaa
Parts are on the way from Brisbane, so we will be doing some test fitting very soon

ST build continued

ST bits off Ducks car and on the way
Doesn't look much for $10K but is all the parts to bolt on some extra HP

That in itself is going to be a big job because it requires re-routing cooling system from the drivers to passenger side (water expansion tank, hoses etc) along with the vac canisters and vac lines. Then working out how to connect up the turbo, manifold, waste gate, dump pipes, O2 sensor etc and then wrap everything to prevent it from melting lol

Once we get it running and settled down, stage 2 will be the manual conversion to make sure the drive train can take the extra HP. That means replacing the transmission, drive shaft, fitting a new LSD, diff and axels. Next comes wiring harness, shifter assembly and programming to make sure the car doesn't think it still a auto

Hopefully we get all that sorted and then can move onto stage 3, upgrading the fueling and intercooling system. Fit in the stage 3 LPFP, install PI and controller. Install new intake manifold and 8" intercooler (?) which will require the charge pipe etc to be modified, then finally a custom ST Motiv tune to cap it all off

Just enjoying my cup of tea till I started picking up where I last read up on Socket build and.....

Congrats mate. That's one hell of a kit there.

Looking forward to seeing that all bolted up to your car.

ST build continued

Well postman arrived today and dropped off some boxes

Guys at pack n send did a great job, boxing everything up and getting them to Melb safe and sound

Looks like a lot of gear to squeeze into the engine bay lol
Will probably try test fitting some of the parts over the weekend with Vince and see what bits and pieces need to be ordered in

One step closer to getting SPCGRY back on the road

Pic 1 - ST parts finally arrived
Pic 2 - Nicely packed up by the folks at pack n send
Pic 3 - That's a lot of bubble wrap
Pic 4 - Exhaust manifold (needs a sandblast)
Pic 5 - Intake manifold
Pic 6 - All the bits

Jeez that's a lot of bits socks!

Just get the turbo mani coated once you have it fitted up and can confirm fitment.

It will reduce under bonnet temps and you can have it coated in a range of colours so it wont look so shitty once its been heat cycled.

Orange is a good colour

All you need now Socks is Duck's tune.

I'm surprised Socket didn't send his car to Duck, he has sent it to everyone else! lol
