Well on our End we are finishing up the Nasty Habanero as I write this..Almost..just a few more hours of Tig Welding. Brian told me he took a bunch of new pictures today while at the Shop....you know what that means--->...Stay Tuned...

 

I can't handle the pressure Just kidding. Here are a few more pics. Car should be running next week no problem. I have been trying to decide where to run the car. Initially I was going to run the first stock turbo runs in Orlando, but I am thinking of running at the new Palm Beach International Speedway now. The 6 hour R/T drive to Orlando is killing me and the new PBIS(Moroso) track is now open. I hear it is awesome. Anyways here are the pics.

Electric water pump set up is awesome.


Basic fuel cell set up. There will be some changes here, but the lay out will be the same.


The car has to be fast with the original "BAD BISH" hood.


Stock ported Buschur mani is in ready to do it's thing.


Fuel lines are all in also...

 

New bumper has all the gear swapped over and even got a quick release steering wheel from Mike at AWD Almost there....

 

why not try the Nasty Habanero with the stock turbo??

 

Mostly because the move has set EPM back a little and its not here yet. I dont want to rush them and the car has been on CFT's lift for over two months. Don't worry, it will make its way on there for testing hopefully middle of next week. But I figured I could run out and break the all time stock turbo record in the mean time

 

That sounds like a good plan!

Thanks for the pics and damn i'm jealous of all the tracks you have at your disposal.

By the way what kinds HP do you expect on the "stock" turbo? Or did you see on the old set-up?

 

I am hoping to see 450-475 whp on the stock turbo. The car was making 410 before on race gas. Now I am on E85 and a fully built aluminum rod motor. Electric water pump, etc. I am confident in a 450 #. As for the tracks Yes, my local track was completely rennovated. The car has only been in Orlando because my track has been closed for months. It is time to bring the car home Its always nice playing in your own back yard. The guys in Orlando are great, but the amount of time and effort to go up there is out of control. Where I am staying 6 days a week and the car lives is a 6 hour round trip. The car is coming home next week and hitting the scales, being detailed, touch up work, etc. I am hoping to see it run in the next few days.

 

its been 5 days...we are due for updates...

 

Well, after driving 7 hours and getting home at 3am with no trailer lights, the car is back home. Nefta, Rollo, Omar, Oscar, and everyone at CFT did an outstanding job. The car looks great, wiring looks great. All pumps and systems have been tested, etc. All check out ok. I have since dropped it off at AWDMOTORSPORTS for a few final items. I need to get in there and do my thing also. Its nice because the car is only 15 minutes from me now I need to install the door panels, install carbon fiber plates, aero fascia, etc. A little painting too. The car has been weighed LOL.... Um yeah, that was the first thing I wanted to do Lets just say I think it will be FAST..... I have contacted the chassis shop that did the cage install and have set up the certification process. Its all coming along, but just seems to take an abundant amount of time. The car will be started within a few days. I hope to be running the car at the track next Wednesday if all goes well. I forgot my camera, but Manie(04AWDTURBOEVO) took some and said he would send them over. When he does I will post them up. I will take a bunch of vids and pics of the dyno testing, etc. That should be Monday.

Many thanks to the CFT crew for taking part in building the RS. I am very confident this build will bring about many discussions on the ability of the stock/ stock appearing turbos, chassis set ups, etc.

EPM, thank you so much for your support and the temp 02 dump. Love the size of the pipes I will be putting it through its paces on Monday.

After the past two days of evaluating, inspection, and critiqueing. I am confident both records I am after will fall within the next week or so. All will depend on the power output of course. Lots of ideas and parts to test the next few days. I really dont want to mess with the stock turbo stuff too long, but I know it is important to a lot of people. So, I will run the car next week with a bone stock IX turbo. It has no porting work, jet coating, nothing. It is all stock. Lets see what it does. Then it is coming off for the RED courtesy of Forced Performance. I am super excited about this potent combination. We even swapped out the Cosworth cams for the Forced Performance FP5R's. I am swapping injector size tomorrow to 1600's and am planning on making them work very hard. I am hoping to see 600+ whp out of the set up Thats all I got for now. I will post some better pics once I get the engine bay cleaned up and painted the way I want....

 

very very nice, i along with others cant wait for you to fire that bad boy up and see it fly down the track

 

Everything is finished on our end, as of tonight. The items will be shipped tomorrow...straight to Mike @ AWD. We spent some extra time prepping the manifold....adding some extra bracing....and added some extra spiciness (is that even a word???).

Let us know how you like everything Brian!
