ok guys, to bring the car and thread back to life. I have stepped down at work as the last three years took a huge toll on my personal and family life.
To catch everyone up - Full ReSpeed Suspension Car with R&P steering.
12a motor on Mindtrain exhaust was nice and car handled well.
Since I stepped down at work and working 24hrs on and 48 hrs off should allow me to get my SA done. Since selling my gslse I have wanted to make this SA a 13b so 13b turbo it will be.
Have two motors to choose from right now - S5 13BT and/or a 13BT RE motor
Turbo II tranny done and modded for the SA's shifter location, Drive shaft made, just need to drop in motor, make a trans mount and start the wiring.
Plan to use one of the following for a computer:
1. S5 Harness with a Power FC
2. Haltech E8
3. Haltech E6k
Fuel - Aeromotive Inline EFI Fuel Pump 325 lbs./hr. 45 PSI Model -11109
- 720 primaries 1200 secondaries
- Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pressure Regulator Model- 13109
Turbo - Stock S5 for now - Then a BNR stage 3
After all of it is done and where I want it the plan is to blow it all apart for a full paint job.
Looking for a good solid 300-325hp at the rear.

Tempting to paint the car myself once the motor is in and running. Worse thing that can happen is it turns out bad and I take it somewhere to have painted.

Going with the silver like the engine bay. It is my FD silver. The engine bay was coated with rust treatment and then painted silver.

Ok guys, some updates.
Full Mindtrain exhaust (so sweet sounding) will be coming off as I have a custom RB High flow 3" tig welded turbo exhuast.
Right now going to use the S5 13BT motor and sit the 13BT RE motor aside for now.
Just waiting to pop on the gslse front cover that has been drilled and tapped for a turbo drain.
Going with a Haltech E6k and running the ID 1000 injectors
Aeromotive Inline EFI Fuel Pump 325 lbs./hr. 45 PSI and
Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pressure Regulator
Turbo - Stock S5 for now - Then a BNR stage 3
Would love to see a solid 300-325hp at the rear with about 10-12 psi so we will see what happens.
