Well, im in the process of building a 450+ whp 1.6L and it's in the shop currently but anywho...here is a picture I snapped today of it, obviously very dirty and not done.

 

Been waiting for this!

 

How happy are you with your ARTech manifold? Did you get a downpipe from him too?

Also, what fitting did you use to connect your AFPR to your factory hard line? Look sphethcial.

 

I'm very happy with the ARTech manifold, yes I did receive a downpipes from him too. They're just hardline adapters, I am getting rid of them though because i'm going full AN fuel lines.

 

So when is this thing going to run? Looking forward to this....

Hopefully within the next two weeks, and I cannot wait to hear her run either...the cams sound really nice.

 

 

Looks great dude. I cannot wait to see some numbers.

1.6 FOR LIFE!!!!!!

 

awesome...in for dyno results and driving impressions

 

I forgot to ask-

Why is there a plunger inside your engine?

 

If you posted this on M.net everyone would **** themselves.

"ZOMG THAT TURBO IS SO BIG IT WILL LAG FOREVER!!!1!12@ MEANWHILE I WOULD HAVE INSTANTLY ACCELERATED AWAY WITH MY JRSC BECAUSE IT MAKES SOOOO MUCH TOOOORQUE"

 

I have a 'plunger' holding up my hood because I don't have a hood prop, actually it's a stick of some sort.

My last turbo was a 60-1 non-BB, this turbo is actually smaller--is DBB, Billet wheel, so M.net can go to hell lol

 

How'd you decide to go with that turbo? Which A/R did you get? I can't see **** on the PT website. I'm considering going for a gt3582 and a flipside mani/dp down the road.

What is the functional difference between a billet wheel and a regular wheel?

 

I needed a turbo to fit my horsepower goals, the GT30R is a good sized turbo for my horsepower goals but then I ran across the 5857 which is similar size but will flow 600 hp. So I opted for the turbo that will spool faster, and give me more horsepower potentiality to play with. I went with the .63 A/R

Billet wheels are lighter, more aerodynamic. The CNC machined blades allow less material on each blade, and that equates to a higher mass flow rate. There are other reasons the billet wheels are superior, but its too much to explain.

 

Heyzues! This man is a baller!

 

dont worry i still believe in the 1.6 too ;D

 

Looks BADASS man!!! Im definitely in for dyno numbers as well

 

More pictures tomorrow!!! Stand by

 

OMFG i love the idle on this car sounds sweet, cant wait to get a set of cams like this in my car lol...

 

Everything is coming together nicely, my intercooler piping is the shortest i've ever seen and should help out a lot with spool, im running a duel backdoor FMIC set up with 3" cold side piping, 2.5" hotside.
