FM Hydra 3071R on the way
 
Hustler, I just bought out the FM catalog! LOL

3071
Hydra
750 injectors
Ceramic coated manifold and housing
Steel lines
19" intercooler
3" stainless exhaust
Race radiator

This is going on a stock 2002. Going to try to keep the boost under 12 until the end of the summer. (Going to Afganistan and 2.0 when I get back) One thing that sucks though is that the intercooler is back ordered due to a union strike. 2 to 4 weeks.

This thread isn't going to go well.

why, because the first word is "hustler"?

12psi on a 3071 is quite a bit. It is quite a bit more than 16psi on a 2554. You do know this, right?

thesnowboarder 03-17-2009 11:13 PM

how much does it cost to buy out the FM catalog?

Well, I'm glad I got my 19" intercooler when I did (last week). I'd be pissed about a backorder now. lol

Snowboarder, I dont have a shipping quote but I am right at 7 now.

Sixshooter, Yes I have some worries about the bottom end.

3071 Should get you into the 20's easy once you've strengthened the internals.

in for $14k motor. Enjoy tuning that over the phone, and post pics of the exploded parts.

If he's shopping from the catalog, then I'm sure he can afford to drop the car off and have it installed and tuned. btw- one of the shops around here says they will tune the car for $600. That's a complete tune- everything, every zone, every feature for daily driving, any temperature and boost. That's really not a bad deal for those who have more money than time, or guys in the service. They've got a few guys who did just that- when they come back their car will be complete and ready to drive.

You little pee-wees need to man up and drop your balls.

it's just a 2871 with a larger turbine.

Mach929 03-18-2009 09:36 AM

LSx conversion would be where i'd be wasting that kind of money. otherwise probably a used c6

Where is that shop and what is the name? The more the tuning subject comes up the more I wonder if I will need it.

Here is the reasoning. I will be making right at the limit of the stock internals. The Hydra will come with a very conservative tune. The tune (I'm guessing) will be very rich and not much timing. This will pull power and reduce the chance of detonation. I am thinking this is very good for my situation. If I go pay for someone to tune it what would I really get. I don't want more power at this point and I need something safe on the engine.

$17k or so on a motor and turbo kit but you won't pay $500 to get your fucking car tuned because you don't have a clue what's going on. There's nothing wrong with check-booking the build, but don't cheap out on the most important part.
