Wow! What do you do for a living???

O&G in good ol' 'Burta!!

To be fair, buying a garage was my only option. I have 0 handy skills, 0 skills and 0 tools to do it. I'm useless when it comes to building things. Actually a small regret of mine not learning it when I was younger.

Nice Howerton tank!! I run the same one which I agree is awesome. What meth kit do you run again? Aquamist?

Oh and what fuel pressure regulator and rail? I forget


As for garage, I know your pain. Been building one since October and I only have so much spare time. .. too cheap to hire it out haha.

Went with the Aquamist as well! Wicked system.

for FPR's I went with some radium engineering ones, fuel rail is hypertune to match the intake. Was blown away by the quality so I figured the rail must be decent as well.

As for the garage, I ended up contracting the dang thing out lol. 26x24 fully finished inside with a lift king on the way, should be done mid July and solve many of my issues! Hopefully I can say the same about the car lol!

Best to have a garage for that monster anyway. Looking good.

Any pics of the table l and surge installed?

Took some snaps of the dash and engine bay this weekend!

How bout now?

Been hounding Greddy for an oil cooler part for about 3 weeks. Tell them please air ship it, it's time sensitive. It shows up finally after about 4 weeks (ground shipped) and it's the wrong part... They pretty much define incompetent (at least the guy I've been hounding)

The radium fuel system is in and looks like a million bucks. Went with twin Walboro E85's. Here is the tank itself




To match the fuel tank, I went with a new Howerton Engineering Water/Meth reservoir with lighting. May as well go all out with the new aquamist in there.



It's almost road worthy, but I doubt it gets finished/dyno'd before Calgary weather acts up on me. Plus storage is a huge issue for me right now and can't say I'd mind having it sit with VEX while I get a garage built to keep it. Just bought a new house and cash didn't allow me to build a garage prior to winter.

Oh I saw this gtr the last time I was at Vex, what a beaut!

Thanks! Been a while since I've had time to go see it myself!

This thing running yet or are you parking it for winter...... haha

Well given the weather today and I don't know where VEX is on it at the moment (haven't called them in a week or 2, so this is my own fault)... I have no idea.

Although, having just moved places and lacking a garage, I can't say I'd complain if VEX held it for another winter. Save me paying $100+ a month to keep it warm. Getting super anxious though.

They have gotten the new fuel and water/meth system in and they look out of control. I'm gonna go up and visit on Friday to snap some pics!

Great to see your going for response vs. a dyno queen. I think it would be fair to speculate most people that think "more is better" have never driven a small displacement, large turbo, crazy high hp car. It's freakin annoying, scarey, unpredictable and completely useless especially if you want to track the car.
Even at a moderate power level compared to yours (~445whp) on larger tracks it takes me a few laps before really putting my foot down. Then it just puts a huge smile on your face!

Could not have said it better myself! Its like driving a fighter jet and it is quite difficult to do with any sort of precision on the track

nice! how come you didn't go the 9180 route? Looks like a serious build that could benefit from a larger/meaner turbo

Wanted to keep the power levels manageable and have it preform more as a track car. Drivable power was #1 for me on this build so I tried to keep things within that frame of reference. The 9180 is no doubt a serious turbo, but my feeling was on the track it may be more unwieldy than I wanted
