I've sat and thought long and hard about it. The only way to run it would be through passenger side where the coolant tank is. Relocate the tank to battery location but then pipe routing becomes an issue. Unfortunately just no good way to route the firewall turbo exhaust to passenger fender.

A whole lot of fuckery would need to happen.... Which I'm not totally against by any means..

Awesome idea, except I probably wouldn't want exhaust blowing into my window while I'm driving.

Easy fix, route it straight into the cabin. Now you have zero exhaust blowing into the windows. If anything its blowing out of the windows.

Can powder coat the outside of the exit port brown in color, with hints of pink in the star alone.....

Have every competitor who's foolish enough to line up with you, pay homage to, and kiss/suck on the chocolate starfish.

Hahaha.

Hey Jordan, I can't remember or find how many miles you had on the engine when it popped, but I'm alway curious about odd ball things.
One of the big attraction with aluminium blocks with me is that they can use really high quality metal sleeves. Do you remember having much of a ridge at the top of the cylinder walls? Back in the olden days of cast iron blocks it was common to have to use a ridge reamer, then bore or hone the cylinder walls. I was wondering how the sleeves in our cylinders hold up over time.

I just built my 2010, 131k....no ridge either. Cross hatches looked nice.

I think that was a 70's thing (30sec mark)-

Ordered cometic head gaskets, going to take block to machine shop before Friday to have mains checked and worked on, heads getting decked, turbos finished, assembly almost up in line to be balanced.

Seems like a lot of effort and money to shoot for a 600awhp race tune and a low 500awhp daily tune when you were at 536awhp before?

Might be true, but he's adding a bit more reliability with beefing everything up. Now, instead of being tuned within an inch of it's life, he can be at those same (maybe even slightly higher) power levels knowing the parts can take the abuse. Peace of mind goes a long way.

I don't mean this snarky but kind of perspective lol. You've probably paid more for what you have currently. It'll be reliable and a good weekend car before I go full dick with something more choppy and whiney

I doubt it, you have gone through lots of iterations at this point with two different sets of turbos, ebays rebuilds, couple different exhausts, nitrous, methanol, intake systems, new block, new crank, new pistons, new rods, heads being done, new torque converter etc etc.... granted I know you have had vendors sponsor some of your stuff.

Not trying to be snarky as you put it. But it adds up, I think your point on costs at this point are moot.

However, my point still stands, sounds like you are doing a lot of work to get back to where you were but perhaps slightly more.

Just would think your goals would be loftier.

I thought 600awhp was the max for our transmission? You know, before it grenades.

600 torque is a lot on these drive trains.. lol
