Here is the update at this point. I am going to get the car done at monkeywrench tuning in Michigan. I am finalizing the contract deals this weeks and the car should go in by the end of November to be reborn 6-8 weeks later.
The guys at www.monkeywrenchracing.com have been awsome. Finalizing contract deals this week. They have one of the best prices around. Sub 4000 turbo kits installed and tuned with a standalone fuel system. Mine is 3500 dollars, or there about because I want to retain the stock ECU. I also want to have a boost guage becasue i think it is cheap insurance since the max boost will be 5-6 PSI, even a small short problem allowing boost to creep up a few PSI would be cataclismic. I can not validate these prices for future customers since they will give me everything taht is needed and not accounted for...get this...FREE. They have an excellent supplier relationship and can get everything at LOW prices. I was astonished to find out how cheap these parts really are. Don't be fooled, no one pays retail for these things. I think the target boost will be around 5 PSI, tuned on 93 octane gas. It will not be a HP monster, as that is not what I am after.
There will be a new ACT clutch rated to 233 lb-ft. New injectors and fuel pressure regulator. Garrett GT28R turbo. Custom air to water intercooler. All other assorted parts and accessories like custom exhaust/intake. Peak hp at the crank is aimed for about 250 to be on the safe side. If we could get more than 210 wheel hp, I would be very pleased, although I am aiming for the mid range power that is really laking for this car.
The have experience, and that is a rare thing. Anyone interested in the specifics PM me. I have them all, but don't want to bore everyone about it. Another thing, they don't start wrking on cars untill all of the necessary parts are in stock. A rare thing that only an EXPERIENCED company could hope to acomplish.
I can't wait to tell you more. I expect the full contract signed and a list of parts and work order agreement byt eh end of the week.
