2004 Mystichrome, Built Motor, Single Turbo, 9", TH400, E85 Street Car "BUILD THREAD"
99% we have been working on other stuff, it needs the boost controller wired in, battery needs to be put in the trunk and a tune but it starts!
I may end up eating my foot, the owner and I made a bet. I bet 930rwhp on boost only he thinks 1XXXrwhp and the more I look at it the more I think the car will make north of 1000 BUT it was a friendly $20 bet....
But it goes Thursday.

Thanks Gabe! It's been a long road with a lot learned. Non of us had built a turbo car at this level....but it got it done(we think) and hope to get the car on the rollers Wednesday evening to let the diff get some break in miles and Thursday throw the coal and give it a full tilt pass.
3 drums of E85, time to get ready for the tune. Sadly the EARLIEST he could get the car in was Thursday(the day we leave) but the owner is taking the car up Wednesday, sleep in a hotel around the corner and opening the session at 7am then straight to OC.
The car is done, it may not be a show car but it should function just fine.
Here is to 72 hour count!

The car is on it's way to be tuned, we did all we could do....what happens, happens. We have had NO way of looking for leaks or any issues like that as we couldn't start the car.
Sorry guys, we just got home from the beach. The car is very healthy BUT did have a issue on the dyno. The car had a voltage issue with the mass air and would drop voltage at 5200rpm so do to time the tuner got the down low setup done and we set the WOT to 4900rpm so the motor didn't go lean.
The car made 691rwhp @5200rpm on 18lbs. We found a few other small issues that we are going to adress, new mass air, button the car up and hit the dyno again. The tuner was booked 6 weeks out so we have time. The car performs well and on a full boost pass the car should make great power.
