Wow did'nt think i had to explain it: I meant does it feel good as in does it feel strong ie making good power.

Actually it's still on the jack stands, I had just enough time today to throw the plugs in it and turn it over! I still need to bleed the brakes and hook up the meth lines/tank. Also, there's a mysterious coolant leak that drips about 3 drops every other day???? I had 14psi of inert gas hooked up to the coolant system for two days without a single drop, and it hasn't shown up since....guess I'll just let that one go and see if it comes back or not???


Other than that motor sounds real nice, exhaust sounds SWEET, turbo leaks oil like CRAZY!!! Guess that's what I get for trusting the place I bought it from! Here's some pics, I fabricated EVERYTHING on this except the headers and crossover! I had to do the power steering lines, oil lines (for the remote mount filter), lower radiator fitting on the engine and hoses, various wiring changes/modifications (like moving the battery to the passenger side), fabricated the entire 3" exhaust from the turbo to tailpipes (it's actually a Mac Tru-Fit catback, but I cut out there chambered mufflers and welded in some straight thru Magnaflo's), converted it to a return style fuel system, and once it's on the ground I'll be programming it as well.

LOL, it's been a hell of a lot of work, so the fact that it's down for another couple of days for the turbo really doesn't matter too much!!! I guess it's just nice to HEAR it run, and know the engine itself is A-OK!

Very nice. I always respect a well built car when it is built by the owner. Yours just happens to look good too. (well atleast what we can see in the pics)

Glad to hear you got it running Todd.
Congrats.
