@turbonetic777 done everything except the machine work myself ... local shop for zinc plating, another place I use for all the powder coating, ceramic coating of headers etc done in Dallas TX ... oh and machine shop in Uxbridge - United Kingdom .... if you have a machine shop do the necissary machining it's just a matter of detailing work you can do yourself.
@NJW1973 Way too much ... lots of new parts ... machine work ... ARP bolts/studs .... powdercoating of parts and ceramic coating of headers, downpipe etc ... not added it all up but easy $5k USD ...
Yep stock headers, ceramic coated inside out along with crossover, downpipe and turbo elbow ... the headshield on the passanger side header were removed and seperatly zinc plated then rivited in place again like the factory did ... adds that little extra touch :-)
now this is the way to build an engine....you put aftermarket components and make it look stock appearing. The ol "wolf in sheep clothing" look is the way to go i think. Keep up the good work!
Yep that was my goal from day 1 ... just improving on the stock look, make it last (hopefully) and build strong internals for futrue upgrades (still got a stock turbo on this one at the moment ... will stay that way until I got 1000 or so miles on it). Appreciate the comments, glad my work payed off in the end been a long journey.
wow great job!!
